Galaxy S6 edge and HTC One M9 and iPhone 6 undergo bend test

03 April, 2015
The curved screen of the Galaxy S6 edge cracks due to its unusual shape, even if the phone survives.

    DanGogh, 03 Apr 2015How is it fake? The test is for the Edge, not the regular. ... moreAnd... Edge is samsungs toptier flagship, more advanced than s6 itself...
    So...no fake, just plain out truth test...

      p-chan, 03 Apr 2015Lol, no body would believe the test, obviously a paid test ... moreI wonder the amount of tests samsung paid, amongst the paid marketing fakes...

        This tells us nothing. The supposed issue with the iPhone 6 Plus was that it could bend in a pocket, at the point of the buttons.
        This test, tests the centerpoint. And that was not where the iPhone 6 Plus had it's issue. If i remember correctly, in the centerpoint bend test, the iPhone 6 (without plus), scored less.

        The S6 Edge might also have weak points, that are not the center position. However this test, does not test that. And thus, does not test the weakness of the iPhone 6 Plus, either.

            Yeah, what about the regular S6? Or the S5 that the iPhone was competing with for a long time? This test is sponsored by Apple.

              Simple logic would be, the i6+ used in this test was of the latest production line that has been made sturdier by Apple after the bendgate issue went wild. And this doesn't make the iPhone 6+ any less pathetic as a Note 4 competitor. The isheeps shouldn't be too happy about this. :)

                I find it funny how the article clearly says the M9 took the most weight to win but the results graph for it is left blank

                  Why no normal S6? Of course the S6 edge will break more easily, look at the freaking side!!!!!!

                    There are better value for money phones available at cheaper prices that are more capable than what majority of people will ever need. You people are blinded by fanboyism. Stop this nonsense!

                      AnonD-58835, 03 Apr 2015This test is a fake one. Instead of testing NORMAL Samsung ... moreHow is it fake? The test is for the Edge, not the regular. Saying it's fake because they're testing a different phone is idiotic to say the least.

                        [deleted post]Funny, ah? An article every day how Samsung bends, is factory pre-scratched, dead pixels, etc. The old kindergarten level iPropaganda in full swing :-) Comparing two full metal phones against an essentially glass phone and even so the glass hold very well. And of course testing in the strongest point of the iPhone where it does not bend. Give me a break!

                            alright then. but have you check the reliability and the utmost fairness of this SquareTrade company? can't they be bribed?, or perhaps at the very least, be influenced by ...of some-kind?, at least just try to somewhat amalgamate things, and so as not to become obvious, for the fruit company to,... Hmm you know what I mean right? I shall only believe without reservation or doubt of some-sort, if GSM-Arena will do the actual testing! and I even believe that now in this very moment as we speak, they, have already received, a great amount of pressure!, coz they know, that whatever result GSM-Arena may come-out with, the world will eventually believe.

                                at the end of the day your just wasting your time, like im doing right now, because your just giving those companies your moneys, and your chosing based on your own taste, either aesthetical, OS, Performance and Hardware.
                                My point is...ure always arguing with each other about which one is better and none of you will change your opinion, it is arguing just for arguing.

                                  OMG! The S6 Edge is completely destroyed. Samsung why are you moving away from the indestructible tank (Note 3) form factor to this joke?

Instead of testing the normal samsungs6, they put the edge version that has more screen and is more vulnerable due to the edge. Really a paid test. FAKE completely.

                                      Lol, no body would believe the test, obviously a paid test from apple. The one that had many reported being bent accidentally and got people injured in some cases is the iphone 6, remember? why shd u test the iphone 6plus not the regular 6? And why the s6 edge not the regular s6? Seems apple worried so much how ppl got so excited about the s6 so they create news like this, lol, lame.
