Dropping phones are an inevitability, so when Google released its Pixel smartphone, YouTuber TechRax decided test it.
The phone doesn't come equipped with Gorilla Glass 5, TechRax notes, but it does look stunning. He does both side and front-facing drops for each camera.
The result is, well, a very depressing reminder for anyone who has dropped their phone and experienced the devastation of a shattered screen. With the Pixels starting at $650 each, this might not be an experiment you'll want to try at home.
