The Xiaomi 12 Pro passed through the hands of Youtuber JerryRigEverything for the now traditional resistance test. The smartphone is particularly illustrated when folding, perfectly resisting pressure without twisting. If it did not survive the fire, the heavy artillery had to be brought out to scratch it.
It is with great satisfaction (and a certain sadism) that we now await the videos of Zach Nelson, aka JerryRigEverything, with each major smartphone release. While the Xiaomi 12 Pro has been available since March 17 in France, it has finally passed in front of the Youtuber’s camera. While waiting for the releases of the Xiaomi 12 Lite and Xiaomi 12 Ultra, it’s time to see what the Chinese manufacturer’s latest has in store.
The latter is doing particularly well when bend test. Like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, you will have a hard time breaking the Xiaomi 12 Pro by twisting it with your bare hands. If it is difficult to see how this kind of situation could happen, it should still be noted that not all smartphones obtain this result. We remember in particular the OnePlus 10 Pro which was broken in two during the same test.
The Xiaomi 12 Pro is particularly resistant to bends and scratches
The Xiaomi 12 Pro can thank its protective glass for this Gorilla Glass 5 as well as its aluminum frame that allows it to withstand pressure. Apart from some friction noises, the smartphone is unscathed. The Gorilla Glass 5 also protects it relatively well against scratches, although thewe expected better from the smartphone. The first traces appeared at level 6 on the Mohs scale.

As for the burn, the screen did not last long, although we note that the fingerprint sensor still works despite the scratches. At the end of the video, the Xiaomi 12 Pro was, inevitably, somewhat damaged, but it remained in one piece, which is not the case with all its competitors. Proof if any that the Chinese manufacturer has greatly improved the durability of its devices.
