Every time I buy a new smartphone, I tend to worry about it getting scratched by dropping it or touching something. A YouTuber put the soon-to-be-launched Pixel 6a through rigorous testing and found that it didn’t hurt very badly.
This endurance test was conducted by Zack Nelson, aka JerryRigEverything, famous for checking the power of new smartphones. Just days ago, Mr. Nelson tortured the OnePlus 10T, giving it a tough test and snapping it like a twig.
Nielson’s test series gives the ultimate stress reliever that regular users would never do, like using a razor or a lighter. When the Pixel 6a’s screen was tested on a Mohs hardness scale of 6 (10 for diamond, 9 for sapphire and sapphire), it had a fairly significant scratch. But given that the Gorilla Glass 3 used to cover the glass for this product is nearly a decade old technology, it’s not a terrible result.
Moreover, after scratching the screen, we also tested if the fingerprint sensor under the screen was working. This is a pick with a Mohs 7 hardness and can be recognized without issues even if it is deeply scratched, and it can be confirmed that the fingerprint authentication, which the Pixel 6/6 Pro has often complained about, has been greatly improved.
Since the back panel is made of plastic, it will do a lot of damage if you hit it with a razor blade. Such a situation seems impossible, but in fact there may be a situation where you “put the Pixel 6a in your pocket along with the key”.
Interestingly enough, the sides of the case are made of metal. In general, the plastic power buttons and volume buttons tend to snap off easily, so this is a point that can be greatly appreciated in everyday use.
The Pixel 6a has passed the ultimate flex-endurance test with flying colours. While using cheaper materials than higher quality models, it can withstand relentless stress, minimize sag, and never appear to crack, warp, or suffer serious damage.
The predecessor Pixel 6/6 Pro was full of bugs, so its popularity has declinedThere were also poll resultsHowever, I haven’t heard any major issues with the Pixel 6a so far. In Japan, it is much cheaper than in the US, so the approval rate for the Pixel brand may recover.
