In his eternal quest to destroy expensive gadgets for the sake of science, YouTuber JerryRigEverything has taken a bunch of tools to the Huawei P20 Pro to test its durability – and the result isn’t what we were expecting.
Much to our surprise, the Huawei P20 Pro caved under pressure, with the 6.1-inch 18.7:9 near-edge-to-edge screen shattering after force was applied to a small hairline crack created earlier in the popular YouTuber’s durability test.

JerryRigEverything notes that the screen may not have shattered had the hairline crack not been there in the first place, later adding that more than 100 handsets have been put through the same test and survived relatively unscathed.
