Bend

Last year the Asus ROG Phone 5 snapped like a twig when subjected to the now-classic bend test performed by YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. So, ever since the ROG Phone 6 Pro's introduction back in July, you may have been wondering how the new handset might fare when put through the same type of torture. As it turns out, you're in luck. In a pretty straightforward case of "better late than never", Zack from JerryRigEverything only got to the ROG Phone 6 Pro today. If you're anxious to find out whether the device…

Samsung's newest big foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold4, was put through the ordeal of JerryRigEverything's 'durability test' at the end of last month, and survived to tell the tale - although it wasn't left exactly in tip-top shape. Now's the turn of its little sibling, the Galaxy Z Flip4, to be subjected to the same grueling tests. Let's see if the smaller device turns out to be more fragile or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXGx3Swvyng The Flip4's outer screen is covered by glass as you'd expect, which means it…

Is it a TV? Is it a gaming monitor? Something different altogether? The answer is “Yes,” when it comes to the newly announced LG OLED Flex (aka the LX3, if you’re the sort who cares about model numbers) — a 42-inch OLED screen that can be viewed flat, like a traditional television, or curved, a la a newfangled gaming monitor. The bend can hit a maximum of 900R (that’s a measurement of how much things bend in terms of the radius in millimeters), which means it’s likely a little less than the curvature of gaming…

LG’s OLED Flex is the world’s first bendable 42in OLED TV giving consumers the best of both flat and curved worlds.  The LX3, going by its model name alone, isn’t the first bendy TV – in fact, we saw one from Samsung way back in 2014 – but this is something quite different. For starters, it’s an OLED panel whereas other flexible TV screens are typically LCD. Secondly, it’s a more manageable 42in size.  The OLED Flex can transform from a flat panel to a 900R curve (an extreme amount of curvature when a typical…

If you’re in the market for a new gaming monitor, one of the early decisions you need to make is whether to buy a flat or curved display. The two formats offer different advantages and frequently mean the difference between picking up an when considering an LCD screen. Corsair is developing a new monitor that would seem to offer the best of both worlds. This week, the company announced the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240, a 45-inch 3,440 by 1,440 monitor you can manually bend to switch between a flat panel and a curved screen. The…

Google Pixel 6a bend, scratch, burn testshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va7I2r24EnEKicking things off, the handset gets a scratch test on its OLED panel that has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. This display survives level 7 scratches on the Mohs hardness scale and the fingerprint scanner – which has a security flaw – continues to work fine after receiving the same treatment. Under the flame of a lighter, the display holds strong for 10 seconds before the pixels start to turn white. Next, the Google Pixel 6a meets…

In 6 minutes and 39 seconds video, the YouTuber channel JerryRigEverything’s Zack does the traditional recipe of scratch, burn, and bend test on the OnePlus 10T to check its durability. Spoiler alert: It cracks. OnePlus 10T bend test For starters, the OnePlus 10T, like every other smartphone, holds strong against the scratch test. The AMOLED panel of the OnePlus 10T has a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top, which survives a level 6 scratch test on the Mohs hardness scale. Further, the Youtuber also scratches all…

The OnePlus 10T is not officially the OnePlus 10 Pro's successor, but it is a newer phone. So perhaps it's been redesigned in order to withstand bend testing, unlike the 10 Pro which basically snapped in two when bent with some force a few months back? That's what YouTuber Zack from the JerryRigEverything channel set to find out in his now-'traditional' scratch, burn, and bend "durability test". See for yourself how OnePlus' newest creation fared by watching the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW2lAlZPlUs…

A shiny new look for Days Gone devs Bend Studio, the Sony subsidiary behind survival horror wilderness title Days Gone, announced that it has started development on a brand new project — one that it hopes will advance the open-world adventure, excitement, and engagement of its aforementioned monster-bashing biker epic. “We are currently working on a new IP that includes multiplayer and builds upon the open-world systems of Days Gone, but brings you a whole new world that we are extremely excited to craft for you,”…

The most famous song about Queen Elizabeth II is called God Save the Queen, and so is the second most famous. The Sex Pistols’ decision to record and release their anti-monarchist screed in time for the silver jubilee was the most brilliant provocation in a career consisting of almost nothing but brilliant provocations. The band had been playing the song for a few months under its original title, No Future, but manager Malcolm McLaren said the phrase sounded “like an ad for a bank”. Much better, he thought, to hijack the…
