It’s been a month since OnePlus bought its latest number series flagship to the global markets. The OnePlus 12 (review) packs significant upgrades compared to its predecessor. It includes a periscope camera, wireless charging, aqua touch technology, and more. Now, the flagship phone has undergone JerryRigEverything’s intense durability test. This one is particularly worth checking out since OnePlus had a poor track record with the structural integrity of the OnePlus 10 Pro, 10T, and even the 11.
OnePlus 12 comes out unscathed in durability test
The OnePlus 12 features the company’s Aqua Touch technology making it usable with wet hands. Those who watch Zack’s durability tests might be familiar with most parts. However, this time around, the YouTuber first starts testing the OnePlus 12’s usability by spraying two splashes of water on the screen. We also get the iPhone 15 Pro and the Galaxy S24 Ultra in comparison. Zack goes on to type a sentence using every letter of the alphabet on all three devices. He is using Swipe Text and normal predictive suggestions. The Aqua Touch technology did a pretty good job on the OnePlus 12. Even the Galaxy S24 Ultra did well.
However, the iPhone 15 Pro completely failed the wet touch test. The YouTuber was unable to write a word with the swipe gesture. Additionally, the phone registered incorrect inputs by selecting H instead of delete. This serves as a reminder to the iPhone 15 Pro users (and even other iPhone users perhaps) that it is unusable in wet conditions.
Zack proceeds to the scratch test where he begins scratching the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 shielded display on the OnePlus 12. As usual, it gets scratched at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7. The phone’s aluminum frame gets scratched in the scrape test but not the textured glass back. The camera sensors are also coated with a thick glass so users don’t have to worry about the lens getting dirty. However, the YouTuber adds that one accidental hit could have the potential of destroying all cameras at once. The optical fingerprint scanner works flawlessly after getting abused.
Finally, the most stressful part of the durability test – Zack tries bending the OnePlus 12 from the back side and a slight flex is noticeable. However, from the front side, the device bends near the camera module and antennas. Thankfully, the device survives the bend test without any catastrophic damage, unlike its predecessors.
