The first few days after your purchase, we try to handle the smartphone very carefully, put it gently, always wipe. A small portion of people still continue to "pray" to the phone for him to buy blankets, films, and in general strongly protects expensive device.
But most of the week after the acquisition start throwing it on a table or chair car, and in general treat the device as a utilitarian thing, not a jewel. For example, do you feel about a second, more common type of people bought straight from the tin and the flagship of HTC X One . What will happen to him if you drop it on the asphalt, or tile?
The guys from the portal htcpedia decided to test an absolutely brand new black HTC One X for resistance to fall. Why is there such an idea? Yes, because HTC is called a monolithic body of fresh flagship polycarbonate scratch-resistant and shock. Fans of metal housings, which are among the owners of HTC devices a lot, do not really believe managers of Taiwanese corporations and rubbing their hands, waiting to hear the tearful stories One X customers that the plastic casing of the smartphone broke.
To assess the strength of the body HTC One X htcpedia guys had some crash tests . The first test, drop pocket, reflects one of the most common situations when the smartphone hits the ground. Surprisingly, after the fall of the smartphone on the stone covering the street with him nothing had happened, it was not much visible scratches on the case, the screen remained completely intact , and the device worked. The second test, a drop of the shoulder, also showed the stability of the body HTC One X to the punch. In this case, the situation is tested, when you talk on the phone, and he slips out of hand. Finally, the most terrible test - drop the phone face down from a height of more than a meter. Unfortunately, even the heavy-duty glass Gorilla Glass 2 is not able to withstand the blow of a stone and broke. But the smartphone at the same time continues to run, which indicates that the overall structural strength.
As you can see, polycarbonate has shown himself to advantage. From my own life experience I can say that metal case in this situation was more visible damage. Of course, the metal has a nice tactile effect, but whether it is scratched "protective" cover? [VIA HTCPedia ]
