What a waste of time to watch this video. Nobody who buys a premium phone would be that careless as these bunch of jokers testing these phones in not so daily situations. Any device will not survive such extremes.

Anonymous, 14 Mar 2016ibend6s dose not protect from water damage watch "everythingApplePro" on youtube iPhone 6s is very hard to bend. Now, stop that ibend bs! besides, some youtube video showing how iPhone 6s can survived with enough presure of water over a long period of time, considering it was not being advertised as water proof.

I really don't know what is sense of it, I think it's applicable for clumsy people who always drop their phones

tripod thread holes at the base and side, dab plus or FM rds radios... The list of lacking essentials in items costing what a great 4k tv or PC does. And people buy them....
Me, I have great hi fi radios in my phones that I can record in the LG G4 , and listen and play on a proper hifi anywhere on the planet. No radio, just cannot imagine it.

born to fail. Not even provided with the means to attach a wriststrap as my nokia n8 has.
Just avoid them all until they provide wristrap and fixing . Additionally metal casings need two holes for vertical and horizontal tripod screw threads. Even seperate cases lack these.
What is the point of good panorama possibilities in a camera without any tripod threads?
They all have lots of room for the smaller thread. Just asthey could have a decent radio.
My RDS FM RADIOS IN THE n8 and LG G4 in which I can also record in tiny files of great quality means I have a radio goodenough to attach to a really good hifi system at no extra cost. Something Apple and Samsung users can only dream of...

Why are they even testing the iphones for waterproofing - they have no IP rating surely!
Unsuprised the Edge version bends more than the regular S7 - it's longer!
Suprised the Edge did better than the regular S7 with drops - but then again - curved glass is probably stronger than straight glass edges.
I guess this is the price u pay for fancy bezel-less devices.

im not defending iphones not patronizing Samsung
but this post is a mismatch. price wise yes.. but there are other phones that are released the same time as the s7 .. why not match it with sony or lg.. they all released phones on the same quarter. its just like bullying the iphones. its the status qou, the goal to beat,

LOL haven't tried water resistance but my iPhone 6s handles drops with aplomb. Have dropped it a few times from 3-4 feet and once from 5 feet. No cracks no scuffs no dents. Still pristine...!
Off-topic- unfortunately it has picked up some black scratches on the backside for curiously no reason( not from drops I am sure). So yeah I gotta dock some points for that. And btw the most fragile phone I have owned is Lumia 720. 5-6 inches corner drop screen shattered and audio shorted out. Toughest phones I would say htc one m8 and iPhone 5c( iPhone 5c edges a bit as I have dropped it countless times but the m8 has suffered more drastic drops so they kinda even out)

Please do not compare S7 to iphone it is oldis phone ever all of the hardware parts is obsolete to the market even the camera is very worse. If you want a branded phone buy expensive iphone but if you want a branded phone with real smartphone buy S7
