When a new smartphone is launched on the market, we are now used to seeing in addition to the classic reviews and unboxing also the various teardowns but above all, for those with the strong feagto, also the various stress tests where the devices are literally massacred to test the degree of resistance. We have heard a lot about the new these days POCO X2, which will not be a sequel to the glorious POCOPHONE F1 but rather a "simple" rebrand of the Redmi K30, which precisely through the brand POCO will arrive in a global version.
Redmi K30 has proven to be a smartphone with interesting hardware, incorporating a powerful processor, a battery with large capacity and support for fast charging and a liquid cooling system. Therefore, a test of endurance in the style of JerryRigEverything could not be missing, by another well-known Youtuber, who took the trouble to stress the Redmi K30 in the 4G variant, therefore equipped with fifth generation Corning Gorilla Glass protection, allowing us to get an idea of what the duration of the POCO X2.
Redmi K30: a test shows its "fragility"
In the video, the smartphone of the Xiaomi sub brand tries to survive all the types of torture inflicted, from scratches and cuts on the screen, to immersion in water for several minutes, extreme resistance tests in which the unfortunate Redmi K30 seems to get out without no problem.
In general, therefore, the new Redmi flagship seems to be quite resistant, considering that more than half of the tortures suffered in the video in real life will never be proposed against the device. The scratch and drop test is definitely interesting, more realistic in everyday life, but in this case it emerges that the K30 is not as resistant in the central area. Without going around it, Redmi K30 folds completely in half, almost splitting in two.
Let's make it clear, that no alarmism should be created, the Redmi K30 is resistant enough for daily use and honestly knowing that it breaks if I want to break it does not change my life, if we consider that 90% of users when buying a the new smartphone also purchases covers and protective film, still keeping the sector of reference alive.
That said, the "fragility" of Redmi K30 could be given by the absence of the fingerprint reader in the central part of the body, as it has been positioned on the side frame, thus creating a sort of weak point in the frame, allowing a folding of the itself without too much force.
