Microsoft Surface Pro 6 Beats Apple's iPad Pro (2018) in a Bend Test

By

HIGHLIGHTS
  • The Surface Pro 6 developed a hairline crack in the scratch test
  • It burns after 12 seconds of flame impact
  • It does not bend completely even after multiple flexes

After completely destroying the iPad Pro in his bend test, Zack from JerryRigEverything put the latest Microsoft Surface Pro 6 to his durability test to see whether the Redmond giant's iPad Pro competitor can sustain his standard testing procedures. Zack tested out the display, structure, and ports of the Surface Pro 6. The tablet is seen to significantly flex upon multiple bends, while the display panel seems too fragile during his scratch test. Let's see how the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 fares overall in the popular JerryRigEverything durability test.
YouTube channel JerryRigEverything published the latest video detailing a durability test of the Surface Pro 6, right after Apple's iPad Pro (2018) was put to his excruciating procedures. Zack starts off with the scratch test wherein he uses the Moh's scale of hardness to judge the display quality. He notes that the glass appears to be a tad thicker than the one on the iPad Pro (2018). Scratches start to appear at level 6, but the entire display develops a hairline crack at level 7. “A screen protector is probably a good idea with [Surface Pro 6].”
He then proceeds to scratch the structure of the tablet. The frame of the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is made from metal, but is not anodised making it vulnerable to scratches compared to the layer of anodising that Apple employs on its latest iPad Pro models. The power button and volume buttons on the Surface Pro 6 are made of plastic and easily scratchable as well.
Next up is the burn test. The Surface Pro 6 lasted 12 seconds under the heat of a lighter flame, but the LCD panel quickly recovered back all of those pixels within seconds of removing the flame from the surface.
As for the bend test, the Surface Pro 6 bends significantly on the first attempt and appears to have some “massive flex”. It does, however, lock out and multiple attempts of applying pressure back and forth show a gap between the screen and the frame, “We get a very twisted tablet, but with no catastrophic damage,” notes Zack. The Surface Pro 6 does not have any structural flaws at its weakest points, which makes it better than the iPad Pro (2018) in terms of structure quality. In conclusion, the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 passes the bend test. The kickstand, according to the test results, is a major factor in improving build quality.
Zack then proceeds to show us the internals of the Surface Pro 6 by opening up the display panel. “Apple went for a thin, lightweight design and sacrificed structure in the process, while Microsoft packed their tablet with guts and metal,” he said.

Apple releases new iOS 12 beta, putting a stop to infuriating update notification

By
A new iOS update is now available (for real) “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Potentially hundreds? Yesterday, it started showing up every time an iOS device was unlocked — or even if you just pulled down the notification tray a little bit. Thankfully, just as we enter Labor Day weekend, Apple has shipped another iOS 12 update to restore sanity. If you open up your iPhone’s settings, iOS 12 public beta 10 (developer beta 12) is now available to download. Once you do, the obnoxious, constant alert — about an update that didn’t even exist — will go away. GuilhermeRamo managed to pinpoint what went wrong with the last iOS 12 beta. The build thought it was about to expire, thus setting off the string of notifications and mass frustration: This annoying hiccup...

Renders of the Lenovo Z5 show the front-facing camera

By
Surprisingly, this time around the latest Lenovo Z5 info comes from a leak and not from the company's VP. All the information we have on the device so far was officially teased from the Lenovo's official, but now something extra has slipped through the cracks. The renders show the promised nearly bezel-less display with a small chin on the bottom. This is in line with the previous teasers showing nothing but screen and thankfully no notch. They also reveal how Lenovo has tackled the front-facing camera and the accompanying sensors problem. Lenovo Z5 press renders Just like the  Xiaomi Mi Mix , the upcoming Lenovo Z5 will incorporate the front-facing camera, the ambient sensor, and probably the proximity sensor, on the chin. The earpiece is missing, obviously, so we suspect some kind of tech similar to the one driving the Mi Mix with the vibrating screen replacing the speaker.

Will Google Finally Adopt Dual Cameras For The Pixel 4 Phones This Year?

By
The next  Google Pixel  might be getting more cameras and a sleek design overhaul. According to a  leaked photo posted on the site SlashLeaks  on Wednesday, the Pixel 4 XL will have two cameras on the back instead of the single one found on the Pixel 2 XL and 3 XL.  Famously  Google  has had only a single rear camera on every Pixel model large and small. The company embraced using AI and machine learning to create photos that rival phones with two rear cameras like the  iPhone XS  or three back cameras like the Huawei P20 Pro. A second camera could be used for something other than photography like perhaps AR. The drawings of the unreleased 4 XL also show an oval hole-punch display for two selfie cameras like on the new   Galaxy S10  Plus. Famously, the   Pixel 3   lacks a notch while the   Pixel 3 XL   has one of the largest found on any phone. Curious enough t...
