The RedMagic 9 Pro is a brand new offering from RedMagic, the company’s new gaming smartphone. RedMagic 9 Pro ended up in Zack’s hands, from JerryRigEverything YouTube channel, and passed a series of durability tests with flying colors.
You can check out the entire durability testing video below the article. It has a duration of around 7 minutes, though the actual testing starts somewhere around the halfway point.
The RedMagic 9 Pro handles a series of durability tests with ease
Having said that, the first test is a scratch test, as per usual. The display started showing scratches when Zack used a level 6 pick, with deeper grooves at a level 7. That is the standard these days, and in line with the display protection here. RedMagic used Gorilla Glass 5.
Zack also proved that the frame is made out of metal, and that glass is placed on the back of the phone. Scratching the fingerprint scanner did not affect its functionality, which is great to see.
The display lasted for about 20 seconds under direct flame before it acted up, and it mostly recovered after the fact. That is not exactly a particularly useful test, but there you go. Zack has a tendency to do it either way.
The phone did not budge during the bend test
The last test that Zack conducted was the bend test, as per usual. That’s the portion some phones fail catastrophically in. Well, that was not the case with the RedMagic 9 Pro, not at all. In fact, the phone shined in this test.
Zack tried to bend it and snap it from both the front and the back, but it was no use. The RedMagic 9 Pro is rock solid in terms of build, which is always great to see.
This smartphone actually launched not long ago, and it has a really unique design. Not only does it come with an under-display camera, and very thin bezels, but most variants also have a see-through back, and no camera protrusions.
