I put this foldable Android phone through the ultimate durability test, and it refuses to die, even after being slathered in mud and tossed in the dishwasher
This past weekend, I ran the muddiest Spartan Race I've ever been on. We're talking knee-deep mud in several places on the course, and no shortage of slippery conditions no matter where you go, which made me wonder: what if I dropped my foldable phone into this kind of nastiness? Since the Honor Magic V6 sports the highest durability among any phone today (not just foldables), I figured it would be a perfect candidate…
