"Pixel 8 Pro and 7a Dominate 2023 Smartphone Durability Awards, with iPhone 15 Pro and Asus ROG Phone 7 Also Honored"
The Google Pixel series emerged as a significant victor in JerryRigEverything's Smartphone Durability Awards of 2023, with the Pixel 7a being named the Most Durable Smartphone due to its plastic build, and the Pixel 8 Pro (Fairphone 5 in the US) winning Most Repairable Smartphone of the Year. The Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate was recognized for innovation but also noted as fragile and difficult to repair. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 was awarded Most Repairable Foldable Smartphone. The Pixel Fold, however, was deemed the Least Durable Mobile Device of the Year.
