Just wondering. I had already ordered mine when the video posted. I am one to never place a device that cost that much in my back pocket, so I don't see it as an issue. Also, I never felt a need to expose it to open flame. Call me crazy.
Do you plan on texting with a hammer? That might be a problem.If there are videos surfacing of the 6p being slightly bent and wonky from day to day use like the iphone bendgate thing, then I'd be concerned. But purposely bending it, nope not concerned.
I get that it may be weaker than other phones, but i'm sure it'll be fine for texting, emails, and calls lol
I've seen a few performance Mustangs crumbled after a wreck, but that didn't stop me from buying another one.
Only just watched them, I have never sat on my phone, and the kind of pressure he applies would be very unusual in day to day use. Mine is also in a case, so not worried about that.
The burning test is absurd, how does that relate in any way to day to day problems?
The only concerning thing is the scratch test that resulted in a crack very easily. But again, its probably from a long straight scratch he put on the phone, something that is again very unusual.
Goriila Glass 4 is rated to about 7 hardness (from what I recall, 6.8), using the Moh scale he was using. So the glass works exactly as expected, it is only when he starts using the tool of 7 Moh hardness that he starts scratching the phone. The issue is, he continued with the 8 and 9 hardness tools, despite the fact that the screen (and this is any GG screen) isn't rated that high. Naturally, when using a sharp tool that is much harder than the screen, it is going to put deep gouges into the screen. It is not surprising, after scratching the screen as badly as he did that it would crack.
Again, this has nothing to do with the 6P but will be the same with any phone with Gorilla Glass.
He does make the fair point however that sand can be a 9.
But watching the video back it is fairly obvious how unusual the damage he is doing is, he goes back and forth up and down in the same scratch, no real world scenario is going to mirror that.

So who's seen this, then?
After watching it, took my N6p out of it's case and placed it flat on a table and tried it out. The top right corner slightly rocked a bit when placing a bit of pressure. None of the other corners did. Turned the phone over on to it's screen, and no rocking on any of the corners.
I messaged my friend to try it out on his, and he had the same results. Think it has something to do with the curved back on the lens.
Mine rocks ever so slightly as well. Not as pronounced as shown in the video. I've had mine for a week. I did not perform this test when I first got the phone, so I do not know if it just came that way or if it deformed in the past week.
