Huawei Mate 9 Passes Durability Test: Sapphire Glass Screen Does The Magic

Huawei Mate 9 was released by the company in December last year and is one of the best devices from Huawei. It has flagship grade specs and uses premium materials for its construction. Some reviewers have put Huawei Mate 9 to the durability test and the device has not disappointed.

JerryRigEverything is a YouTube reviewer who likes to put smartphones through durability tests and gives users an idea of how they would perform when put in harsh conditions. His tests include scratching the device and the camera, bend test and even setting a lighter to the display.

Huawei Mate 9 has received thumbs up rating and has passed the durability tests from JerryRigEverything. The YouTube scratched the back of the device with a razor blade and found that the back is made of purely metal, reported Android Headlines. He also tested the camera and scratched it with a blade. The camera is also nicely protected from being scratched.

The smartphone's screen also received a scratch test from JerryRigEverything and the screen survived scratch test till level five, reported GSMArena. However, at level six, the screen did get a scratch. But, since it was scratched at level six, Huawei Mate 9 is perfect for everyday use and will not get scratched easily if the phone is put in the pocket along with keys and some coins.

The durability tests conclude that Huawei Mate 9 has a rugged construction and the sapphire glass screen is resistant to scratches. YouTuber also did a bending test which proved Huawei Mate 9 is a resilient phone as the screen continued to work fine despite being bent slightly. However, the LCD popped out of the frame.

The most torturous of the tests was the burn test which was performed on the Huawei Mate 9 done by JerryRigEverything. The smartphone proved its mettle in this test too and its pixels over stabilized once the temperature was back to normal. Huawei Mate 9 is a great device in terms of usage and performance and these tests prove that the phone can easily take up a beating. Also, it is one of the most durable devices ever produced by Huawei.
