Bendgate Resurfaces With The Samsung Galaxy S6


SquareTrade has recently released a video showing the durability of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and HTC One M9, discovering the Galaxy to bend at 110 lbs of pressure and the One M9 to bend at 120 lbs of pressure. Although the Galaxy S6 Edge's pressure limits are comparable to the iPhone 6 Plus' testing, the Galaxy's screen ended up cracking under the pressure instead of slightly bending similar to the iPhone 6 plus. The HTC One M9 lasted further than its 2 competitors, reaching 120 lbs of pressure. Testing to the point of unusable, the iPhone 6 Plus survived 179 lbs of pressure, beating out the Galaxy S6 Edge's 149 lbs stress test. As SquareTrade points out, the Galaxy's stress tests proves the phone could be worse for users due to the smartphone's screen cracking under intense pressure. So it looks like “Bendgate” has spared to the Galaxy S6 Edge as well. As we know in September 2014 iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users experience “Bendgate”  where users would have there phones in there pants pocket and the phone would easily bend. You can watch the video below. What do you think of the whole “Bendgate” issue ?
