This torture test suggests Google’s Pixel 7a mid-ranger is more durable than the Pixel 7 Pro
Yes, we are talking about Zack Nelson’s grueling and often unnecessarily violent JerryRigEverything durability inspections over on YouTube, which sometimes end on surprisingly good terms. While no phone has ever managed to emerge completely unscathed from a clash with Nelson’s razor blades and lighter, some handsets are capable of resisting bending attempts much better than others.
While no one can guarantee the Pixel 7a will still work one, two, or three years after you buy it, and just like with any other contemporary smartphone, drops on hard surfaces remain a potential issue, the results of this durability test are clearly encouraging for hardcore Google fans who can’t afford or don’t want to get the Pixel 7 Pro.
