Lol no doubt. I was shocked and still am. Dropped it this morning. Laying on the couch arm fully extended, dozed off, free fall to the floor. Nothing.
Yes 🤣
looks like an upgrade to me…
Reminds me of those lg ultra wide screens
I wish 😁
is that the guy that bent nexus phone (6P i guess) like it was paper and then everyone else said that thats not possible?
I had almost forgotten that banana thing
Wow thats interesting. Your icons looks nice which icon pack do you use?
I think you got a point. One thing I realized is my phone is not overheating after the incident.
They had samsung galaxy curve years before. Just google. 😁
thats actually cool
Lol
Mostly due to the fact that exposing the battery and it’s circuits increases the chances of it being damaged by water and other methods.
Is that a Mi 9? It felt weird as I’m watching this on my Mi 9.
Impressed with xiaomi phones.
Are you friends with Zack Nelson – Jerry Rig?
Phones have really stepped up in terms of durability. How on earth did that screen not crack?
My mom’s phone got threw and got hit on a corner in it’s corner. The phone’s screen shattered but it still works fine.
Have to think of the LG Flex there. 😀
Yeah the dumbbell fell right on the back panel and shattered the back cover. It still works great.
Oh I’ve heard of this phone, self healing back too right?
At least you can still work out
Did you order for a replacement battery cover?
Actually it got bent above the battery so battery is still straight.
Fourth of that weight could easily demolish a phone, you’re a lucky bastard 😛
You should put that to r/unexpected! Just say first you got a new curved phone. The side view fully got me first
That’s cool, I didn’t know that!
New christmas offer! Unlock curved display on your phone by just dropping a dumbell on the phone. Along with this the 12gb ram app is made free for this week on playstore. Download it and enjoy more ram on your device. T&C apply.
I had a redmi 5 plus that also got a curved screen product of having it in the same bag as shot put implements (25 kg)
45 pound = 20 kg
Thanks for translating!
No actually I am using a phone case without a back cover
I can just imagine how you felt when it fell on the phone. Ahh it gives me chills on the back
?
Indeed!
How to install dis?
Congratulations you unlocked a beta feature!
It happened because 45 pound weight fell on my phone.
i still dont know how he did it
Yes, he is.
Cc c cc. C. W
Weird flexing but ok.
If the dumbbell fell on both sides, it’s could be the waterfall display or Samsung’s Edge. But just for safety take it to service center and get it checked, make sure that battery is fine and board and IC chips are not shorted , soldering isn’t gone etc.
Dis curved display mod. I install refresh rate Oc too. So where link for dis mod? I have Xaiomi K69 Pro
Now curve it back like JerryRig
I know him, heck! I even joined a giveaway from him! And yes, I got it!
May not be a good idea to have the phone work while curved and curve it back, my mom’s j1 had a bulge (it had a broken screen we fixed it and got that bulge), I pressed it and the screen got a weird pixel effect appeared on the edges of the screen and the screen freezed at a frame and can’t exit it (almost like the time your screen gets black but the touch screen still works but the screen is just stuck at a single frame), so I had to restart it and the full screen got black and got a major backlight bleed. Probably that was the weirdest damage I’ve ever seen in my life (I was young at that age but it still looks weird to me till now).
Edit: the touch screen wasn’t working too
When it happened I thought my phone is dead.
So you have been using this phone for this long in this manner? I get my ocd up if a slight crack happens to my phone.
Idk I have to say congratulations, or I’m really sorry?
I agree I was very lucky. Now it’s more fun to watch videos on curved phone.
The glass is actually quite flexible. It comes in the factories in rolls.
Try 250 pounds full force on the edge of a stair. Shattered back, bent phone, front was fine and a year later works great.
That’s a nice way to cool down a phone
I wonder why no company has tried it till now
That’s what I will do 😅
Sorry replied to wrong comment
what did you expected?
Try 260 pound fat ass curved.
Had my phone for about two months. Slipped on the train stairs. Phone in back pocket. Shattered the back, curved it about this much. Replaced back and bent it back mostly. That was about a year ago and 50 + drops. Still works great and front is uncracked.
Yeah it’s Mi 9
Bruh, I understood that. I was meming bro.
?
Same happened to my Note 7, forgot I had it in the back pocket and sat on it. So it curved without any damages. I managed to straighten it with just my hands, not perfect but there’s some backlight bleed on the lower right edge on dark screens.
Dude, I wasn’t serious about having the back unprotected
i had same thing but it didnt bend , it broke my protection glass
Have you tried putting it in rice?
Is that safe? I mean using the phone just like that, is not the battery cover suppose to hold the components and redistribute the heat or something? Correct me if I am wrong, I am not hardware guy :p
Anyway, just be safe my guy
Ha! I used to have it, grabs attention everytime i take it out… Using a Poco X2 now, not so attention-grabbing anymore 😆
Pixel icon pack with nova launcher
I don’t get it. If the dumbell fell on the back. Should’t it have bulged out to the front?
Not yet
Would that make any difference?
I was just kidding. If you know JerryRig from youtube, you’ll get it.
“*You have been hired to work for Xiaomi curved smartphones factory!*”
Samsung Execs: *Takes Notes*
Why didn’t we implement this on our phones but we implemented this on our Televisions?!
Since lot of people are concerned about phone’s safety it is worth to mention that the incident happened 9 months ago. It’s just I never thought of recording it and posting on reddit 😬. Still a noob to reddit 😉
The only annoying thing that I face is when I press volume down button it goes all the way down and treats it as being pressed. Probably because that was the point of impact and something got messed up there.
So taking screenshots can be inconvenient at times. Also, if I am negligently restarting my phone then it goes to fastboot so I have to manually click the volume up button once to revert back to normal.
