The Pixel 5 is the latest release from Google. This year, European fans of the brand will not be able to buy it officially in Spain, although many manage to get a unit from neighboring countries, such as France, where the terminal is sold. What we will see next is a full-blown torture, where the Pixel 5 ends up destroyed in a tough endurance test .
Again it was the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, where Zach has subjected the Pixel 5 to one of the toughest endurance tests. The device ends up practically destroyed , although it is revealed as a terminal with a more solid construction than the Pixel 4 of last year, whose resistance was called into question when it broke practically in half when subjected to the bending test. In this case, Google has improved some aspects in its construction , but after watching the video, it becomes clear that the price of the terminal (apart from its mid-range features) is very far competitively speaking, from other mid-range mobiles From the market.
Master the plastic
When the YouTuber scratches the screen, the Pixel 5 suffers damage from level 6, being more accused at level 7. This is a standard that we have seen for years, despite the fact that the terminal is protected by Gorilla Glass 6. However When the awl tries to scratch the body of the device, we see that a thick layer of plastic dominates the entire device, until finally a metal chassis is revealed. The rear fingerprint sensor is also damaged with strong scratches, but it still recognizes the fingerprint without problem. However, it is clear that plastic predominates, contrary to popular belief that Google has manufactured the terminal in aluminum, to give it a more premium touch.
The terminal peels like an orange, being able to easily remove the Google logo (which is simply pasted) and even reaching the wireless charging module easily. The coil is shown in all its glory, and we even see a small accident when the battery is punctured , which lets the chemical components of the battery escape. The last test to which it is subjected is that of bending. In this case, the terminal will hold without bending excessively even when maximum pressure is applied. However, we see how the screen begins to peel off slightly, which would later affect its water resistance.
