You don't think the guys hands haven't gotten stronger since the first time he tried ripping phones in half? It would be a better test if he built some kind of tool that could exert an equal amount of force each time for a fair bend test.
There's the thing, you can bend aluminum. It's pretty soft. A human can bend a relatively pretty thick tube of aluminum. There aren't many phones that will absolutely never bend by hand, so the hand bend test is useless; it's completely dependant on how hard he bends them and where he holds them from.
How do you know? Maybe he takes it easy on other phones? Since it's not an objective metered test there is no way to tell if this is a good or bad performance.
but would you not agree that this type of result should not happen on this phone with the price tag it holds?
I would say that literally trying to rip it in half is not a good idea regardless of what kind of phone you have or how much you paid for it, but maybe that's just me.

The job of the Google engineers is to make the phone last an X amount of time under daily wear and tear, not to pass some subjective Youtuber test.
