- Official OnePlus Statement
OnePlus recently launched its second flagship of 2022, the OnePlus 10T 5G with the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, 150W fast charging, and more. The phone, much like most phones, went for the famous JerryRigEverything durability test and well, failed! Much like the OnePlus 10 Pro, the phone broke into two halves. Check out the details below.
Famous YouTube channel JerryRigEverything conducted a durability test on the OnePlus 10T, which was able to pass the scratch and burn tests easily. The phone got minor scratches at level 6 and major ones at level 7 as part of Moh’s hardness scale, which is pretty standard for most phones.
While bending a phone with utmost force is not what a regular user would do, the OnePlus 10T succumbing to the act only proves how weak it is. Plus, it also raises questions about the durability of the OnePlus phones, and maybe, this is something the company should focus on.

In response to the OnePlus 10T’s recent durability test, OnePlus, in a statement to Beebom, said, “The OnePlus 10T 5G meets or exceeds all of OnePlus’ extensive durability testing procedures, this includes a pressure test where the device is suspended while weight is applied to its center on both its front and back. The OnePlus 10T 5G has an enhanced structure engineering design and can bear over 45kg of external force in this test at OnePlus’ lab.”
“When designing, engineering, and manufacturing OnePlus devices, we ensure they not only offer a design that is beautiful and burdenless but is also durable so they can withstand everyday usage,” OnePlus further adds.
