IPhone 6 Plus recorded a big sales, but it triggered a big riot "can be bent by hand".


It is a so-called "Bend Gate" incident.


So what is the durability of Samsung's new model Galaxy S6 Edge?


I tried bending test with HTC One M9 in addition to Galaxy S6 Edge and iPhone 6 Plus.


This is the machine used for the bending test. You can check the durability of the smartphone by pressing it with the specified strength.


First of all, iPhone 6 Plus.


When applying force from the top to the center part of the iPhone 6 Plus on board ......


It bent at 110 pounds (about 50 kg), but the display glass is not damaged, and it can be used without problems.


Applying even more power, it was devastating at 179 pounds (about 81 kg).


Then HTC One M9.


I bent about 120 pounds (about 54 kg).


HTC One M9 has a power button at the center of the side, it is bent at that part.


Because it was bad at bending, I could not turn on the power supply again and it became unusable.


Finally Galaxy S6 Edge.


I put the same 110 pounds (about 50 kg) as the iPhone 6 Plus bent ......


Unlike iPhone 6 Plus, display glass is damaged. It seems that the edge screen which is a coward hurts.


As we apply even greater force, it is 149 pounds (about 68 kg) and it is in a state of non-reoccurrence of backing back.


Apparently it seems that Galaxy S6 Edge can not be recommended to put it in your pocket.


In the durability bending test of SquareTrade this time, it is clear that Galaxy S6 Edge is brittle and easy to bend than iPhone 6 Plus, but at the time of Bendgate incident, we conduct campaign to appeal superiority to iPhone with pleasant demonstration experiment Attention is gathered what kind of excuses Samsung makes.
