Im curious why these mid range cheaper phones can stand so much abuse but all the flagships mcm pondan

iirc... for HONOR, it's similar glass material used on their phones. but it doesn't mean cannot break. just that, not so easy to break.
so far, been gaming with it and it is quite good. there's slight improvement over the X9B. i play mainly MLBB. dun see any issue with Genshin, etc as well, but dun la max the settings... battery life is really good. but i think the phone is more for people who wanna use the phone for long hours and durable -- like senior citizens, kids, delivery folks (grab, lalamove) and even hawkers... saw many hawkers using the X9B.

in case you're wondering, i was one of the few selected to be the phone's experiencer. so i do have the phone with me and have been using it for the last few weeks.
