YouTuber PBKreviews is taking on the Infinix Note 11 Pro with their durability tests. This is a budget smartphone phone available in limited markets, but the phone’s attractive cost with some stand-out specifications like the large 6.95-inch LCD display capable of 120Hz refresh rate, stereo speakers, triple cameras, and a large 5,000 mAh battery with 33W charge support.
First is the dunk test. Although the Note 11 Pro isn’t rated for water resistance, the phone is dunked under shallow water for 30 seconds. There’s no immediately visible damage, though a later video teardown will confirm whether any water managed to enter the device.
The phone’s display comes with factory-installed screen protector. The glass underneath sees scratches at a level 8 with deeper scratches at a level 9 of Mohs hardness scale. The phone’s entire build is plastic. The frame, speaker grille, buttons, and camera bump are all made of plastic. The lens over triple cameras is made of glass, but a small lens over the LED flash is also made of plastic.
Despite all that plastic, the build of the Note 11 Pro is strong enough to withstand the bend test. The host gives the Infinix device a subjective 6.5/10 score, with points docked for not having an IP rating, having a plastic build and its susceptibility to scratches.
