The new Poco F2 Pro is already on sale in Spain and has arrived to compete in the high-end of 2020. This powerful device will face each other with its realme rivals, Samsung or Huawei. But if you have not yet bought the Poco F2 Pro and you plan to do so, you may want to continue reading to see the brutal resistance test to which it has been exposed.
That a mobile costs more or less than another should not be synonymous with more or less hardness. We have seen it on many occasions, when mid-range terminals have proven to be more resistant than some of the most famous high-end terminals on the market. One of the most demanding tests that mobile phones go to market pass are those of the YouTube channel “JerryRigEverything” and the protagonist this time is the Poco F2 Pro.
Tortured to the extreme
We are facing the latest from Xiaomi, which has an official price of 529 euros (although you can buy it cheaper at the link above), which should offer good consistency as well as power. Tests on this channel subject the Poco F2 Pro to real torture , with endurance tests including scratching, screen burns, and extreme bending. In this way we can get an idea of its duration over time, although they are not damages that we are going to consciously subject to.
Scratch test
As we see, when the punch begins to do its thing, damage to the screen is seen at level 3 of the resistance scale. Luckily, it is the initial screen protector that the device carries, since with it removed, the screen shows damage at levels very similar to other terminals, that is, from level 6 and 7. The edges of the terminal are scratched easily while the rear cameras resist impassive.
The removable camera surprises
The front camera deserves a mention, let’s remember that we are facing a renowned Redmi K30 Pro, which means that we have a pop-up style pop-up front camera. This camera heroically resists shocks and drops , but its structure is easily scratched since it is covered in plastic.
Burned and folded
The Poco F2 Pro has also suffered the flame of a lighter for several seconds directly applied to its screen. Like many other mobiles, the stain created on the screen recovers after a few seconds and shows no damage. However, in the last bending test, the Poco F2 Pro does not appear to be as robust as any of its rivals, as it bends more easily under pressure and parts of its structure are damaged.
