Durability is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects when buying a new smartphone. Users want to protect their investment, and it is not surprising that many put covers and / or tempered glass on new terminals, trying to avoid accidents.
When it comes to testing for durability and a smartphone, Zach Nelson’s (JerryRigEverything) channel is best known on YouTube. And as he usually does, he awarded the most and least durable smartphones of 2021 that passed through his hands.
This has not been an easy year when it comes to durability. The youtuber assures that it was the year in which more smartphones did not pass the test and left, such as the Asus ROG Phone 5, or the Legion Duel 2. And the folding smartphones ended up positively surprising.
The smartphone with the best repairability
The Fairphone 4 doesn’t stand a chance in this category, as it’s made with that in mind. It has a removable battery, and the equipment components are sold by the brand to users.
The smartphone with the worst repairability
The iPhone 13 Pro Max wins in this category. According to the youtuber, changing the panel is not exactly difficult. But the huge screws of different sizes make it difficult to repair. Changing the rear on video is the worst part, costing around $ 549 on the brand.
The most innovative smartphone
Although it has been here for a long time, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 takes this accolade in a year that it became waterproof.
the most beautiful interior
Lenovo Legion Duel 2 is the winner in this category, even though it left.
The least durable smartphone
In this category, the Lenovo Legion Duel 2 is also a winner, for obvious reasons: it broke in half in the durability test.
The most durable smartphone
Kyocera Duraforce Ultra 5G wins the title, being described as a ‘tank’. It is one of those smartphones prepared for ‘war’.
