Don’t you just hate it when the 1000 grit sandpaper in your pocket scratches up your phone?
Same
@@JerryRigEverything lol
Me but with old carbide drill bits
Sand? As in the most abundant mineral on the face of the earth?
Don't you just hate it when the phone in your pocket scratches up your 1000 grit sandpaper? I had a nokia 3310 and the sandpaper was unusable afterwards, complete bummer
After years of following this channel, I'm still waiting on the day we get, "scratches at a level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8."
Easier to wait on Gorilla Glass reveals for more durable glass, i guess.
Or for VERY expensive phones that may use sapphire glass
Watch the Kyocera Duraforce Durability Tests then. You will finally hear that.
The latest iPhones come pretty close to that
He's said it twice that I know of, but can't wait for the day he says it for every new phone
@@nikitabelyaev2356
which ones? I still see some kids manage to crack those screens or get the screen to burnout
As a long-time follower and a blind user, it was fun to hear TalkBack and an accessibility feature briefly mentioned. Definitely adds inclusion to already great content.
jerry liked your comment just wanted to let you know since you can't see/hear likes
@@a-don13 he can read the notification of the comment hearted
well not read but hear
what do you do with a selfie?
@@fundominant you've never shared a photo?
My partner ran over his 7 pro with a truck - screen cracked but it still worked for 2 months (it was in a case). The day he got the replacement phone the 7 pro screen stopped working entirely - the touch sensors worked but we could see nothing, which meant we couldn't copy any of the data off. Thanks to this video we knew about the accessibility features. We were able to turn on TalkBack and use the screen reader to go through the "set up my device" wizard. If we hadn't known about TalkBack the data would have been lost! Thank you!
My screen broke and the phone gets useless afterwards. The sensitivity goes nuts and the color of the entire phone breaks
That metal is a throwback to the original few generations of the iPod Touch. Those things also scratched like crazy over time.
The ipods we're a loooot more glossy, pretty much a mirror
and all the ipod classics
The iPhone 6S was terrible. I put a gel case of mine that I didn't realise was slightly sticky, when I took it off I'd lost half of my back gold coating.
@@ElainaMaruyama uhh that's not normal lol
My iPod nano lived a terrible life
When Jerry said “It’s riggin’ time!” it truly was everything.
I really enjoyed when he started rigging everywhere and everything
Imagine if he was blak, he could be nigging😱
@@fish00p 😂
This channel should be called "Ginger Rig Everything" lmao 🤣
absolutely
I think the polished metal visor will have a charming wear factor like the old iPods do.
Love that live translation feature, I think all phones should have that feature built in. Talk back is a great feature
Just learned today that android was missing this feature, I guess now blind people have an extra option and not just iPhones now
@@kingdelledroghe1957 Its live translation without the need for an internet connection that gives the pixels an edge, I believe the pixel 6 was the first phone to do that
@@JoeNokers true pixel 6 and later phones can do live translation locally on its chip without sending the data outside or taking any external help. It can do it in a live call 😧 and send out text to speech voice replies. Truly a feature from the future
With all the things you got going on rn you still post a durability test video - very much appreciated!
Thank you!
Hey Zach! Any chance you'll take a look at the Zenfone 9? :) I'm curious to see how well it holds up durability wise, and I personally think you might like the phone itself!
yeahhh i would also love to see that.
Zack*
@@UnboxingTVofficial Right. my bad
Don't think so. With the years he stopped doing it with other non popular flagships.
@@Ezio470 He kept doing LG until the end. Still doing Asus ROG phones and those niche rugged phones, and the occasional odd Chinese brand.
Yikes, after years I still experience goosebumps when Zach starts to shave the phones with his blades. In rare occasions as with the pixel 7 pro, with a somewhat more stoic and unexpected transition than usual going in with the blade, I just couldn't help to skip that part. The sound is just excruciating to the eardrums and shivers down my spine like a shock! Great video's as always tho, keep them flowing 👊🏾❤️
Same, been watching the videos for years. Still die on the inside when he does that in every video lol
Same and I always skip that part cuz I can't stand it
the same happens to me, i guess is the angle of the blade? could scratch and be better for our ears if it was at an angle xD
I dont understand why the hell he dont mute them parts i mute the whole video because he purposely bring it in out the blue with no warning rip headphones user
@@themok3rify deze man is niet barkie met zn mes
Thanks for another episode of Jerry tech tips! 👍
I love the work you and your crew are doing in Kenya 😌, God bless your good works Zack
I wonder if the Pixel 7 durability test will show the same results? I just bought one and am writing this comment from it. Very curious to see if there are any differences.
+1
Same
Let us know if it does 🙂
I doubt there will be, since the culprit seems to be the antenna lines, and they're both located the same on both phones. It'd still be cool to see if maybe, who knows, size could be another factor
🤞 pls
Your voice quality is probably the best, I've so far heard. So crisp, original and juicy. I'm sure BBS Earth should hire you for their documentary videos. Stayed "tuned"!!
I wonder if it would crack the same on the Pixel 7? Considering it's smaller
I’d listen to an audiobook narrated by you jerry. Hopefully audible takes the subtle hints you gave them
The glass itself might be slightly softer than normal as hardened steel is usually around 5.5. so even if we assume the blade is harder than normal you should've checked on a different phone to see if it's truly the case. You only have picks of 5 and 6 and nothing in between. But the materials in between will scratch as well.

Thanks for uploading, I've been waiting for this one.
Always love to see JRE loving and excellent videos with my best wishes❤
i find the 7 pro less slippery than my s22 ultra. i always use a case i just like to try them first. the 7 pro camera hump had a light scratch already it only sat on my computer desk a couple of times. so case went back on.
Why did you get the pixel if you got the s22 ultra?
@@TraiperX maybe he prefers pixel software and camera
@@rdmz135 Probably is just one of those people that just needs to have the latest phone to feel relevant. People that can just throw money like that tend not to be all that happy. I see a TON of S22 Ultras on Hardware swap and such saying they just upgraded to the Pixel 7 pro, and when you see their older posts they sold their s21 Ultra, s20 Ultra etc. There is no preference, its just spending money to stay relevant. Now unless its an actual hardware issue like ive seen on some units, its more then likely just they have a lot of money and they dont know what to do with it.
@@ShimejiiGaming its amazing, now u can judge people based on their phone choice
@@ShimejiiGaming wow.. you are so bitter! It's people life choice and just because its differ from you and you judged them? just wow
I've had this phone for a few weeks now, the metal camera case has approximately one very small scratch on it from me dropping it.
Without using a case and having it in your pocket all the time?
Thanks for the video.
Still waiting for a OS to have open dyslexic as a font that comes with the phone or pc, and is easy to implement .
Open Dyslexic makes reading for people with Dyslexia easier, why it is not in every OS I find to be a problem.
This is a helpful fix for people with Dyslexia. Yes you can download the font but making it the font for your whole OS is hard. Kindle on the Kindle fire will let you use it to read book on kindle, but does not have it as a font for the OS that I know of.
Is there a way to do this even if difficult? Would love to be able to do that
Been wondering when this was going to post up. Are you going to do the regular 7 as well? 😃
@@bettercallseoul1504 💀💀💀
He never does the regular of any phone. OnePlus 8 and Pixel 6 were both skipped for their pro models
@@MoiraPrime nah pro phones are the new flagships.
He does Flagships. Gaming phones. Budget phones. Eco phones.
There is no real benefit to him covering the mids because that market is the worst market in phones.
Previously before Pro models became a thing. The top model wouod be called the S6 or the iPhone 4 ect.
Then with the pro stuff you get a seriously de-spec's version of the phone. With the numbered phones. And the flagship is now the Pro or + model.
So yeah he hasnt changed his content at all and still mostly covers flagships.
But unless a mid is doing something groundbreaking(which is rare) there is no real reason to cover if its repairable or not.
Most mids are burned out after warranty and would be cheaper to buy another new phone than repair.
Like he does mids all thr time. He just cant do it every phone release.
@@MoiraPrime like an example for the previous Pixel he did the 6a and the 6Pro
He skipped the 6 i believe. So my theory holds up.
Got the Pixel 7 after using a midrange Samsung for 4 years, and man... It's an awesome revelation!
That's interesting to hear... I think I'm due for an upgrade this winter. I currently have the S20 Ultra and can't decide if I should go for the 22 Ultra. The camera is very important to me, but I also really like the live translate on the Pixel though idk how often I'd actually use it
@@karatewill75 If you like live translations you'll love the call screening. All that crap about your car's extended warranty goes out the window
@@karatewill75 the pixel 7pro camera is just as good as the s22 ultra
@@lind-27 I'd argue its even better
@@karatewill75 What do you mean due for an upgrade? You have an s20 ultra.... You do not need an upgrade. Dont just spend money to spend money because you feel like you have to. Only upgrade when you need to when the phone can no longer do what you ask of it. Remember a battery replacement is way cheaper then replacing the phone and saving money now is better then reckless spending to fit in better with people that dont care.
as much as we hate wear on the body of a phone, i think a worn metal frame looks the coolest. It gives that power-tool kind of look which has an asthetic quality similar to worn jeans
Great content as always! Interested to see a teardown of this phone please 🙏
I wasn’t expecting those bend test results
Hey Zack. Will you also be doing a durability and teardown of the standard pixel 7?
7:30 "jerry tech tips"
Jerry, your 6 Pro test & teardown videos helped me choose one a couple of months ago. Now seeing this video I'm feeling good about not holding off for the 7. Edit to add: Oh, how do you set things to slide the calendar in from the side like that?
Me 2! i will stay with my pixel 6 pro..., pixel 7 pro bend test and the "easy scratch camera bump" was actually a deal breaker!
Same...I actually got my 6 Pro almost 6 months after release (which in this case is great cause all the bugs have been pretty much fixed)...was debating on waiting for the 7 series but when I saw the sideways "i" design of the camera bar I was like there's no way this would look better than the 6 series haha
I'm extremely happy with my pixel 7. I didn't really see a reason to drop the extra $300 for the pro model. The sub-par battery life that everyone complains about can be completely nullified by disabling 5g and using LTE. It will give you better connectivity and 10 to 12 hours of SoT, if not more and you will actually get higher data speed in most cases. And probably the best part is the camera bar on the snow model reminds me of my Limited edition white Nexus 6p.
The data speed varies with area and network. Through most.major cities in the UK the 5g speeds are 300mbps+, 4g is anywhere from 10-50mbps ish. Everyone advertises more but real world, that's about what you get. Regardless 5g is much faster so a lot of people do benefit from using it. Whether that, plus a zoom lens is worth the extra cash, that's up to whoever's buying.
On the 6 range you could turn off adaptive battery and another battery related AI, and it would increase the battery life by a good 30% or so, I haven't had to do this on my 7 pro but it might be worth a try to see if it'll benefit the current gen of pixel phones also? If battery is a concern
Hey , how is your pixel 7 holding up 9 months later? Did you have any problems with the rear camera bar glass shattering yet like some others 🤔?
Thanks for the tip! I don't tend to use data to stream videos or anything else that requires high speeds, so I'd rather preserve battery life most of the time.
@@nccapone344even if it does shatter your covered for it by the 2 year warranty I think they gave out a statement saying that I got it a month ago and no problems
Thank you Jerry for the tech tips :))
thanks for the tests
so far im liking my pixel 6, it has software issues that *should* have been fixed now but thats fine with how new it is.
though i do miss my galaxy s10
Hey Zach, are you going to do the new "sapphire" screen on the Apple Watch Ultra? I'd love to know if it is actually more durable.
7:27 “I would indeed recommend against taking a razor blade to your phone” well noted, thank you for the tech tips, jerry 😂
-linus tech tips- *Jerry tech tips*
Been waiting for this video.... Thanks
Any chance you can include waterproofing testing in future videos? I would love to see that put to the test
As a vision impaired person, thank you for mentioning the accessibility features!!
I had to cover my 7 pro’s camera visor when you did the bend test... The case will be here anytime now and I always keep my phone alone in my left pocket to avoid scratches. Had it for a few days and the visor is still clear of scratches. They should include a visor protector with the screen protectors.
You are crazy, the phone alone in your left pocket! Ridiculous! The right pocket is the correct pocket hahaha :P
Any scratches yet? Need a 3 month update!
i have this exact phone. and i have been wondering about the durability. dam this was hard to watch but great video either way thanks
Should throw in some drop tests lol the agm h5 i got doesn't like a few good drops on marble before the screen starts acting strange while still more durable than most phones though but definitely not as rugged as was hoping. It survived going through my drywall once though so
Hey Zach, could you please test the durability of the camera glass when the phone is exposed to fast temperature changes (within the allowed temp range)? There are a lot of reports regarding spontaneous camera glass shattering of the pixel 7 series, still not recognized by google as manifacture defect, but potentially linked to a clarence problem when the metal camera frame is subjected to thermal expansion
To add to this. Do not take the pixel 7 or pro on a gondola to go skiing. My 7 Pro cracked randomly. Was looking for videos to replace it when i found this video
Damn, since I can’t have my sandpaper in the same pocket with this phone, it’s a no from me.
Man! You are so good even your adverts are interesting!
Your voice would be perfect for gentle listening, sir! Great video! I still wanna get this phone though!
I guess the camera bump is going to look like the back of the good old iPod touch 4g after a little time🤔
Yay! Pixel 7 Pro. I'm watching on my pixel 6 Pro and I love it
@@bettercallseoul1504what are you talking about?
The only thing smoother than the dulcet words Zack speaks is his transition into a promo for Audible...Few creators have mastered the seamless segue way as you...BTW, great content as usual...

I wished they included a charging brick with my brand new $550 pixel 7 device.

@VRV nah just following apple, because so many are sheep to that company!
@@deesteve4156 True. Apple is a disgrace to this planet.
for $550 you should be happy it turns on
Maybe you could test the exploding camera cover issue? Put the thing in the freezer and then heat it up?
Jerry (Zach), thanks!! Always delivering with those videos!! Now I'm interested in those audio books for my child who loves to read! THANKS
Hey Jerry i was waiting for this video for a while very disappoint so late man !
i can confirm the glass issues. my pixel 6 pro (also gorilla glass victus) scratches more easily than any other phone I've owned, and it sucks because I hate screen protectors honestly
Second this. My 6 pro had quite a few scratches on it after about 14 months of use before I traded it in. I found it didn't bother me too much as it does seem to put up with being dropped better than most other phones as a compromise - I don't tend to drop phones, but I did drop it twice, once from height and once down a staircase, and both times it was fine. Useful for someone like me who doesn't use a case or screen protector 😅
@@Hewhoremains420 good camera
@@Hewhoremains420 but the pixel 6 pro is just better because i feel like it is
Same. My pixel 7 scratch easily.
Hey Jerry , whats your thoughts on scratch test. I can see we are stuck at level 6 and 7 for past couples of years now . Meanwhile , got so many new versions of gorilla glass . Is it gonna change in near future ? Can we move to one level up ?
Likely not glass is glass at most more shatter proof or some such but glass likely won't ever go above 6 unless they infuse it qith other mats
My pixel 7 pro vibrated with each scratch,,, it even dropped a teared out of the ear piece 😢
I always love the vids but that scraping on metal sound always gives me chills. Like nails on a chalkboard.
2:25 rip earphone users
Really looking forward to see your iphone 14 pro and apple watch ultra durability tests. Especially the apple watch ultra since it seems like it's pretty durable. Nice video as always!
There's not really a reason to do the iP14P as the Pro and Non Pro models basically use the same materials (with exception to textured glass vs transparent)
@@AustinRoss true, but he did that every year so i feel the need to ask about the 14P as well lol, but it's nice to see one since the 14 changed the layout of the device this year so it'd be nice to know if the 14P series will follow along. But still, my main interest is still on the apple watch ultra.
So I dropped this thing less than a couple weeks after I got it.😭
The glass has held up very well, including the back. The aluminum bits (the structural frame on the edge and the camera bump), not so much. But I've seen that happen with iPads, and at least the frame is sturdy enough to resist deforming to the point of stressing the glass.
If Google/iFixit sold parts for this as promised (and apparently they've abandoned this), I'd be tempted to replace the frame and back, but that will probably mean complete disassembly and reassembly which means a LOT of double-stick 3M tape.
Hy man, great work as usual please make a durability test on Xperia 1 mark 4 and Xperia 5 mark 4! I'm waiting those two with big interest! My only hope is you! Thank you!
You just HAD to release the durability test the same day I got my Pixel 7 Pro and I'm treating it like a fragile diamond 😆
I've had mine for two weeks, been patiently waiting for this video! I'm now also treating mine like a baby
I get mine tomorrow. Really wish I didn’t watch this. Lol
Best software but worst hardware

@@whillb I'm sure you'll love it! Mine has been a blast so far 😁

i know about this stroty from Mali. Didn't know it was on audible. thumbs up for that 👍.
cant wait for the day he says "scratches at a level 7 with deeper groves at a level 8"
A huge shame none of the big companies aren't making sapphire screens, very annoying
@@robertmusil1107 that's student life I suppose
I was happy to hear you mention that using a case will protect the Pixel 7 Pro! You DEFINITELY go to the extreme in your testing, and I definitely appreciate that!!! BUT, how many people do NOT use a case on their $900+ smartphones in 2022??? From my experience looking at smartphones out in the wild, I would say that it's got to be in the 90%-95% range.
Around 85% of all people use a case, the rest are people who like how the phone feel in their hand and they appreciate that specific feeling more than the safety of their phones
Google has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars designing its smartphones. And users then close it with a piece of rubber 😢
Most pixel cases don't cover the camera visor tho.
I don't use a case or screen protector, specifically for the reasons mentioned above - someone spent hundreds of hours making the phone feel nice in the hand, and I don't want to cover it up with a cheap case, or even a more premium case made by Google. I like the thin feel of the phone in the hand. I'm lucky to have a job that doesn't put the phone at great risk though, so it's never really been an issue.
@@blazeclarke that's you, 99% of people use a case on their phone because not everyone has money to pay for repair damage.
I have been watching JRE for a long time, but still can't the chills when jerry scratches the phone frames, I can't imagining it happening.
Writing from the 7 pro now and I love this phone. Came from a perfect 3 XL and no regrats! 😁
Two things that are for sure in this world:
1) The sun rises in the east, and
2) Most phone scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7
What do you do with all the phones after you are done with the durability test?
He disassembles most of them in a later video to see the components inside

We need a Laptop Durability Test 😭. Laptops generally tend to be way more fragile than phones, but laptops like all the MacBooks are clearly more durable than some others. It would be interesting seeing the durability of the glass in laptops. 🤷🏻♀️
"...but laptops like all the MacBooks are clearly more durable..."
Insert Louis Rossman's laugh: 🤣🤣🤣
Would be nice to include a drop test from different heights also,most common accidental damage in real life.
There's a reason that you don't see these tests anymore.
Agree, I've wondered why zach doesn't do the drop test
He explained why he doesnt do it years ago. I think it was because there are too many variables that cant be controlled and therefore, not a good test
@@nankinink that's what I was thinking. It's too random
I still remembered those days this channel is just new. I really amaze how far this channel now. Now everytime a new phone releases, people go to this channel to check the durability of those phones.

Locksmith here, I hope that key isn’t to anything important. Pretty easy to look at that and remake a new one.
Especially since the last second of the video tells me exactly how to make it.

@@TerminalHeatSink It wouldn’t be the hardest thing to find. The internet is a scary place to be when you show your life for a living.

Everytime Mr jerry say scratches at level 6 and deeper groves at level 7. My head repeats its along. 7 years and going
Just gotta say, Audible NEEDS to let you narrate something, your voice is awesome

I remembered that book mentioned in the audible ad during freshman year it was one of the better reads during my years in high school
That big camera bump is the scariest thing I've seen this Halloween, truly terrifying👻 (runs back to my S22 ultra)🤣
For me S22 is more scary :D so many holes.
@WojterEX no idea what you're talking about lol the S 22 ultra is amazing.
@@jimmyc1518 how big are your hands…
@*TL* about average plus I have a otterbox case on it and have no problems typing with one hand on my S22U, I don't even use "one hand mode" but I have adjusted the keyboard slightly, I could still type without adjusting it but its just a little more comfortable to slightly adjust it.
I really like these teardowns and seeing what's inside these devices
This is not a teardown
Now you will need not only phone case, but phone case with the whole camera protection (not a bump) to hold that resell value the moment out of the box
I have a solution for you: just don't care about resale value.
Jerry, I got my Neon Green JRE knife for work, but I also carry it everywhere. If you could make a safer version, maybe with a quick retractable knife like the Milwaukee Fastback, I would definitely buy that one too!
I'm early. 🎃
'normal' Utility blades are usually made from a carbon steel that is too soft to easily scratch regular glass, but a number of heavy duty fancy blades have bi-metal construction or carbide edges that will definitely scratch! Lessons learned doing tint and automotive graphics on glass.
