How strong is a CARBON FIBER smartphone?! - Durability Test!
We've never seen a phone like this! Go to www.Stamps.com, click the microphone at the TOP of the homepage and type in jerryrig to get your free scale! Huge thanks to Stamps.com for sponsoring this video. We have seem smartphones made from Metal, Glass, Plastic, but never carbon fiber! Its time to see how this carbon fiber smartphone from Carbon Mobile stands up to a durability test. Is carbon fiber more durable than plastic?

I’m just happy the carbon fiber didn’t sound like aluminum when he scratched it 😅
Yes. I hate the sound when he scratches the metal part
I thought it will make a sound of lamborgini. 😅

I do hope nobody buys this piece of junk

You know what sounds like a genious idea? Making a deepwater subs pressure vessel out of carbon fiber.
Woohoo! I kept refreshing the comment section of this video (with "newest first" option) and was waiting for someone to mention that, and now you did! Thank you so much! :)
I like how modular it was to disassemble! The battery in one easy piece and the motherboard assembly in one solid piece too! No overlapping flat cables with tiny lego clips all tangled and overlapped like spaghetti such as most other brands have!
ofcourse they wouldn't want their device to be repair-friendly
I used carbon fibre official oneplus, it lasted for 2 years before breaking apart, unusable. Im using Ringke clear plastic case for 1 year, its invincible. South Korean company.
Jerry: take case off The same sticker under it: “Hello there“
His name is Zack
Ok.. so this is weird. I had a dream that this video would come out, and I remember seeing this comment, by the same person lol
😂😂😂😂😂🤙
General kenobi !
69 likes nice 🙂
Considering most people drop their phones, the shock resistance plus lighter weight of carbon fibre would make it very durable against drops I would sacrifice the bend resistance for a more drop proof phone personally
Too bad the top and bottom of the phone and all 4 corners, where the phone loves to land when dropped, are all plastic.
Also the amoled screen might just get broken from the fall since it is more susceptible to fall damages than lcd
I guess Motorola was onto something when they placed pieces of carbon fiber and kevlar on the cases of some of their Droid phones.
@@SobaValo Yeah the screen is still a weakpoint generally, at least the reduced weight from a carbon fibre construction will reduce the impact to a screen on hit from a drop a little more. anything to stop it from hitting the ground as hard should greatly increase the chance you pick up a phone with an intact screen after a drop
@@Dragoninja833 Plastic is good for drops cause it's soft

Imagine buying a phone made of carbon fibre which keeps boot cycling just to flex And it breaks in a snap
I don't know it's price but I'm assuming its expensive since it's made of carbon fibre
@@Max-pi7ri he said 800 at the start of the video i think.
Reminds me of the BlackBerry Priv. Awesome android phone and carbon fiber, but several I had, had to be replaced because of boot cycle.
@@Max-pi7ri I don't think carbon fiber's expensive
@@issammelzi728 just for ur information Most of the expensive supercars and hypercars use carbon fiber which is a major reason for their hefty price

What do you think “ Angelina” of carbon fiber since ur a F1 enthusiast?
Thank God to see someone like you covering this phone. I'm always up for niché and unpopular smartphones, so this is definitely a breath of fresh air. About the phone itself, I do hope that the Mk3 version of Carbon 1 will have a much better camera hardware with a wide/ultrawide setup and a Snapdragon chipset. At least 730G or even the 860 is sufficient enough, I'm not that interested with 5G support since there is still isn't one anyway.
He removes the phone from the box with his knife only! Pure Jerry's style!🤣🤣
The first video of yours I ever saw was your Nexus 6p video, and I remember being surprised by how upset you got at the 6p bending in a similar fashion. You called the phone a joke, and dug into it pretty hard. In comparison, watching the bend test of this phone has me SO impressed by the composure you kept after a similar result, and the explanation into the why it happened really showcases the differences between then and now. Great video! Love seeing you feature these lesser-known phones.
The other one was the 6th version of a phone that takes years to improve. This one seems to be the very 1st version of disappointment that is not worth to react to.
Well, everyone can see for themselves this phone is mostly a scam.
@@phundang7166 I think he is just more chill lately.
not sure what is impressive about that or how this "showcases the differences between then and now". If a phone has bad durability it definitely should be called out by a reviewer; especially a reviewer that specialises in durability. I'm somewhat disappointed by the fact that he didn't call it out enough in this video for the obvious scam it is. I suppose perhaps it is so obvious that this phone is a joke that it is not really necessary to call it out (as no viewer of this channel was seriously considering buying one) whilst the Nexus was a phone that may not have been so obviously bad and there were probably quite a few viewers seriously considering buying it for whom it was wise for Zack to warn them.
@@arrun5125 dude you can see it cracking in half, if it's not enough for you to say it's trash than idk what is
Is it just me who thought "yep! It'll crack in half" the moment I saw the device. Sooo satisfying to watch it break 🤣.
Reminded me a bit of the Robin and the Mi 5. Those snapped in half spectacularly.
Same
😂😂🤣
I work with carbon fiber every day, I make complete carbon fiber rims for a living. What carbon one is using for their carbon fiber is just the aesthetically pleasing kind which offers no real structural integrity. I knew as soon as you opened the phone you were going to snap it like a twig.
is there any other carbon fiber type to use for a phone that would actually be durable while light and slim?
Thanks -very good video, I have searched rugged phone and that was my nr1 choice - but not anymore! Thanks for not being disappointed!
Carbon fiber is strong relative to its weight, that doesn’t mean it’s stronger volume wise. Also carbon fibers only really have good tensile strength so the way you design your fibers to be orientated have a huge impact on the strength
Oh. You saw the video too? Great!
@@rishabhdubey374 apparently you didn't saw it. Jerry said carbon fiber is stronger than steel of the same size, which is very wrong
@@franciscoman22 Even if what you're saying is true (which it is not according to a lot of pages on Google), I still don't get your point. The guy just repeated whatever Zach already said in his video and nowhere has he written or implied that what Zach said about steel and carbon fiber is wrong. What you said was something additional and not at all related to my or the OP's comment. That would make your argument invalid.
@@rishabhdubey374 what's so hard of understanding that volume /= weight?
@@franciscoman22 Again. Additional info, not really related to my comment or OP's. In fact, you said it yourself, volume != weight. That means you're not at all talking about the OP's comment. I don't know what your point is or what are you trying to tell.
"but I hope nobody's sitting on their phone vertically" 😂😂😂😂 when you get that visual.
that stinks

Just a heads up if you're interested in the "free" scale. This is from the website: Just pay for tax and shipping and handling (typically $9.99 or less).
🙄
Yeah shipping is expensive
You might as well just buy a scale yourself. They're cheaper as well!
Dude Zack I literally just realized I hadn't been getting notifications for your videos and then I happened to see a random video in my feed of yours and checkout the channel only to realize you've posted like 6 videos ranging from like a month ago that I was completely oblivious of.

@@karanjain2455 no?
Funny, I have one of these Carbon 1 MKII phones and I must say it was spooky the first few weeks (often thought I forgot my phone due to its lightness and it sitting almost unnoticable in my pocket). After you get used to it, I must say I really like the phone. Unlike in the video, I haven't had sporadic shutdowns.. I did notice the battery discharges quicker than I used to have in other phones, but I don't find this disturbing.. (Admitedly I haven't put my phone through the same amount of abuse as Jerry, but it survived some shocks here and there😅). Also the fact that stock Android is running on it, for me, is a huge plus.. No sluggishness from bloatware like Samsung often shoves down your throat.. All in all, very happy with this phone tbh
I'm looking at buying one of these phones refurbished, would you still recommend it a year or so later? And were you able to find a protective case? I'm disabled and drop my phone fairly often.
So if carbon fibre is an insulator, blocking signal, why did they make cases out of it? Am I crazy?
@@fynkozari9271Umm, most phone cases you see are actually made out of aramid, which is a fabric material that looks like carbon fiber but less durable, and it has no impact on connection to signals.
Bonus tear down video nice one
7:11 feels so good to hear

@@andrewdaley5375 ok
What a weak phone and back panel (It broke easily and I think that carbon phone isn't made of metal like Nextbit Robin - 100% made of plastic instead of metal, I know why it broke easily)

It reminds me of that cloud phone, I think it’s called a robin. That also snapped like a biscuit.
yeah! but I expected some sort of protection, Well now I learnt about carbon fiber weaving😊

True but at least the screen is not damaged at level 2 and 3 like some folding phones.

Not quite, it turned off without him pressing the power button both times. First time when he inserted the SIM card tray. Second time with the lighter test.
I know this is two years old, but that isn't how Android handles the power button. If you hold the power button, it brings up a shutdown menu.

Hey Jerry I think it would be interesting for you to do a teardown of the oculus quest 2 or maybe other vr headsets and unique devices
Smartphones are interesting gadget they are equipped from a part of glass to carbon fibre now, which is used in automotive, aerospace etc.

it's impossible or too costy to cast a full back case in carbon, so they use edge plastic corner and this is the results. instead of plastic they could use metal for the corner, there's no weight problem here. thank you zack for your videos.

3:59 "One downside of carbon fiber though is that it's an insulator, and like metal, doesn't allow for pass through of radio signals." 1. Metal is NOT an insulator. 2. Carbon Fiber is NOT an insulator. Who knew that Jerry knows fuck all about electronics and properties of various materials?

I actually like how Carbon Mobile uses some form of stock Android (albeit without round icons) and no notch or hole in the display! Edit: I also find it interesting that they decided to place the side mounted fingerprint sensor separately from the power button, rather than combined like with Sony Xperia.

Did no one else notice the line of pixels that were off after the first bend? It was right at 7:07
Add ribs. That will help with bending and add the 3rd axist strength that is so needed.
