The Pixel 9 Pro XL has just been unveiled, but this did not stop the famous blogger JerryRigEverything from testing it for strength. The smartphone withstood almost everything except direct damage from a knife.
The first thing that caught the blogger's eye was the size of the smartphone, especially the size of the protrusion for the cameras. He made several comparisons, for example, the protrusion of the cameras is equal to six blades or half an Oreo cookie.
The screen and side edges were easily damaged by the knife, but in normal use they should withstand most of the challenges that daily smartphone use can throw at them.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL also passed the bending test without any problems. According to the blogger, the smartphone turned out to be even stronger than last year's model. JerryRigEverything also praised Google for using 100% recycled aluminum.
The blogger didn't get around to completely disassembling the smartphone, but his test showed that 7 years of Google support may be quite appropriate, because, apparently, the Pixel 9 Pro XL should easily withstand daily use, several falls, and even a hypothetical few seconds over a fire.
