OnePlus 6 proves to be a tough cookie in JerryRigEverything durability test
July 21, 2025
TheJerryRigEverythingYouTube Channel has put theOnePlus 6through its series of durability tests. The channel, known (among other things) for scratching, burning and generally hurting any poor, poor smartphone that comes across its path, posted its OnePlus 6 video late yesterday.
The good news for fans is the OnePlus 6 holds up comparatively well during the procedures. There were some initial fears that the switch to a glass rear on the OnePlus 6 might result in a less durable flagship from the company this year, but it doesn’t seem to lead to any particular problems.
The OnePlus 6 display sees scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper grooves appearing at level 7 — an outcome we typically see on modern flagships — while the phone’s fingerprint scanner is virtually scratch-proof, with host Zack’s knife causing no visible damage.
Zack also notes a thin plastic (or perhaps rubber) layer sits between the display glass and outer metal of the device, offering subtle impact protection in the event of drops; looks like a smart addition from OnePlus.
Critically, the OnePlus 6 survives the bend test at the end of the video that felled theHUAWEI P20 Prowhen it recently went through thesame treatment.
Overall, it’s a strong showing from the latest OnePlus flagship and the video inspires confidence for the phone’s real-world durability. For more on the new device, check out our hands-onOnePlus 6coverage at the link, anddownload the OnePlus 6 wallpapers here.
