    AnonD-147044, 04 Apr 2015wow, you cancerous fanboys know no bounds. Fanboys like you... moreSo because he can see this test is fake, is an example of apple marketing and doesn't agree with you, he is cancer. He is right real world test is needed to confirm this, as this test is not reliable.

    Also how do you other products suit him better, do you know what is important to him or others. Also might want to take it easy on the insults. But by your logic every must use iPhone and those who don't have no idea what they want, need and what's best for them.

        Anonymous, 04 Apr 2015So you iHaters overhype bend gate and now that Samsung's fl... moreOk he doesn't hate apple, none of us do. You see the bending issues of iPhone 6 wasn't overhyped, the structure had a flaw a weak spot near volume control buttons. Thus it would bend with little pressure.

        The last time this test was carried out it claimed iPhone 6 is very tough and won't bend by applying pressure to the middle. This in turn allowed apple to ignore the problem and say there is no bending issue.

        Now to this test, first it claims that S6 edge bends at 110 pounds of force, yet doesn't actually show it and second you can see it actually didn't bend but screen cracked. This confirms that pressure applied could be than 110 pounds.

        Also there is claim that S6 edge was dead at 140 pounds of pressure and iPhone 6 at 179 pounds, again it's not shown just claimed. Moving on we have this test claiming that obviously tougher and more durable Aluminium 6013 in S6 edge is can be bent using less force, this alone will prove this is fake.

        So samsung is not in the same boat as apple. If you still think think that this is not fake, then you simply buy the lies, imaginary issues against S6 that apple marketing has made-up. This shows apple is becoming desperate.

This is a pretty simple test to replicate. If it is fake, plan on seeing it debunked very soon. Otherwise, keep living in your bubble and make snap judgements without any facts to back it up. It's much easier than living in the more nuanced real world.

                    I am for once happy for samsung, this will definitely make the s6 and samsung more popular no matter in a good or bad way. Laugh everyone, share to everywhere you want, make this viral, and I’m sure this will make the s6 launch even more popular.

                      The pocket bend tests are the correct analytical test situation. If the phone bends while in a jeans pocket then it should be a cause for concern otherwise this is another edition to stuff like hammer test and burn test !!

They make this video purposely to condemn S6.. This proved how desperate of Apple towards S6.. The video proof itself, 1st didn't display meter reading & 2nd They upload video in Youtube with "Comments are Disable"... Very shame on them..

So how can I believe in the words they say. The S6 edge screen cracking at the edges is very much practical, and very much believe it. But the rest of it is just Apples strategy to confuse the potential S6 buyers, so that they don't buy it.

                                      Anonymous, 04 Apr 2015Apple didnt make the video someone else did.Their were no p... morethe point that is being conveyed is not that apple did make the video. But do remember when the iPhone 6 bending issue did come forward, a similar test was done but applying pressure to the middle of phone and saying it's actually very durable and won't bend. While ignoring that bending is actually occurs because design issues near volume controller.

                                      This suggests that S6 edge is not durable and bends, by doing the same flawed test as before. No company will do test to admit their product is weak and break easily, yet this is what is being suggested here.

                                      Consider for second the aluminium used in S6 is actually 50% tougher than one used in iPhone 6. They might or might have not gotten paid, but this test unreliable. Also we had reports from apple sites that listed S6's core phone apps such as camera, Google apps as bloatware, which turned out not to be the case.

                                        I am actually impressed how a hard glass curved screen is bent and still takes all that stress to break. What I can not understand is how anyone can consider as fair to compare bending flat screens with curved screens. It is totally nonsense. If a fair bending comparason testing is to be done, it needs to be like with like, so a Samsung Galaxy S6 (not edge) with the other flat screened mobiles. So obvious!
