I wouldn't worry till unboxTherapy does one... And actually bend it easily

Sent not from Nexus 6P

Holy ****! I felt the aluminium was too soft but was scared to trh bending it myself. Seems like there is no quality control at all over at Huawei...

Uh, but that's a property of aluminum. Why are people surprised by this? Isn't the iPhone 6 easy bend as well? Aluminum is soft, there's nothing surprising about it.

That's interesting, different from the other video I watched. I still believe aluminum is an inferior material compared to good quality plastic for phones.

There are different levels of aluminium strength. Obviously they went the cheap route here and picked such soft aluminium as it can be clearly seen in the video.

Don't know about you ,but I treat my phones like a precious piece of China anyway.I have just come from a one M7 after 2 years where it never had a case or a SP on it,always kept in a leather pouch when not in use and it is still in immaculate condition.I'm not going to burn it with a lighter,scratch it with s pick{if I did I'd get a new screen put in anyway ) and its front pocket with nothing else in there.....

A leather pouch isn't going to save your phone from being bent though.

I am extremely upset now. Looks like Huawei really went with the cheapest possible aluminium they could find. And at least here in Europe the price is still premium. EUR690..

Why does Google always f*ck up some part with their phones..

If you look at his thumbs, you can see he was applying a lot of force. No reviewer has mentioned their phones accidentally bending, so I wouldn't worry too much yet.

This, until someone reports a real world usage issue I'm not worried.

    <Mod Edit> OMG if I try to bend a small object as hard as I can it will bend, holy crap! Are you serious! No way!

    If you do something to a object that it was never designed to handle, bad things happen. Go run your car into a concrete barrier at 50mph and let me know how well it holds up, better sell it now because it didn't drive home afterwards. Get real, devices are designed to be used under normal circumstances if you put them in situations that they should never be in, they break. It's a reasonable expectation that you will not treat a $500 phone like a $2 trinket, if your dumb enough to sit on it or TRY to bend it, then you deserve to break it and be out of a phone.

    End rant.
