Walnut cracking Doogee Valencia2 Y100 Pro now offered with a strengthened display

https://www.phonearena.com/Before the Doogee Valencia2 Y100 hit the shelves, the company's engineers realized that the 2.5D glass would crack and shatter during drop tests. So the manufacturer decided to use a version of Gorilla Glass .8mm thicker than the standard version of Corning's protective product. In addition, the display is coated with a special nano shell that lessens the chances of it cracking.

To show how strong the screen is following the revisions, Doogee produced a video showing the Valencia2 Y100 being used as a walnut cracker using the phone's newly reinforced display. After cracking a number of walnuts, the screen remained pristine.

With a plastic build and rounded corners, the Doogee Valencia2 Y100 comes with a 5-inch screen carrying a 720 x 1280 resolution. The 64-bit MediaTek MT6735 SoC is under the hood containing a quad-core 1.3GHz CPU and the Mali-T720 GPU. 2GB of RAM is inside along with 16GB of internal storage. The 13MP rear-facing camera contains a Sony sensor, and there is a front-facing 8MP snapper available to take selfies and handle video chats. A 2200mAh battery keeps the lights on, and Android 5.1 is pre-installed. The phone is available from Chinese retailers in the country, priced at only $129.99 USD.
