The Redmi Note series is undoubtedly one of the most popular smartphones in the mid-range for years, and this new Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is also being tested to measure how resistant its finish and built quality is. This time it is about measuring the resistance of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, which for structural purposes is the same mobile.
Only a few days ago we knew that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 had received the stable version of MIUI 10, which brings many new features to the device interface, now we will know how resistant and durable it is.
Durability test of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
Normally we see this test with high-end smartphones with special features, and we have rarely seen in it the popular mid-range phones from Xiaomi. On this occasion, the most popular mid-range mobile phone passes through this demanding test until the arrival of the Xiaomi Mi A1. The resistance of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is measured thanks to different tests that come into play blades, punches, a lighter and the brute force to bend the device.
In the first of the tests, the resistance of the screen to scratches is measured, being very similar to that of other devices, even noticing less these on the screen, so the result is very satisfactory.
As it is logical, the blade ravages the metal body leaving deep scratches in its path, both on the sides and on the back of the phone. The glass of the camera of photos resists well the step of the blade, by what in this essential part of the smartphone the resistance is maximum.
Now comes the hardest in this endurance test of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, in which the lighter burns its screen, leaving no apparent damage to it, and working perfectly after having burned with the flame of this lighter.
The final test, the resistance to bend, is the one that marks this type of videos. And in this case, although it resists bending well, the part of the metal body between the side buttons of on/off and volume is the one that suffers most and ends up bending. This allows the edge of the phone in this area to take off.
Despite bending, the screen continues to work perfectly, so the summary of all that is seen is that if you use the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro in a normal way, you will not have any problem with the finish of this mobile.
