The YouTube channel HydraulicPressChannel conducted a series of resistance tests on the hinge of the upcoming HONOR Magic V3, set to be unveiled on September 5 at IFA 2024 in Berlin.
The hinge withstood a force of 1,150 kg and was even used to crush a rock without any deformation, demonstrating the exceptional durability of the Super Steel material employed by the brand.
