Samsung's Galaxy S6 bends just as easily as the iPhone 6 Plus

A new test conducted by SquareTrade has found that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge bends under the same exact amount of pressure as the iPhone 6 Plus, leading to a potential "bendgate" 2.0.

The "Bendgate" pseudo-scandal, in which the newly released iPhone 6 Plus was bending in user's pockets, received much attention from the media last year, prompting Apple into issuing an apology to the small number of users affected.

Now it seems like Bendgate 2.0 is upon us, as a new video posted by SquareTrade shows that the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge bends under the exact same amount of pressure as the iPhone 6 Plus. Both devices were tested and could tolerate 110 lbs of pressure before bending. Apple's iPhone only bent under that amount of pressure while the S6 Edge's screen cracked. The newly released HTC One M9 could deal with 120 lb before becoming unusable due to the placement of its lock button.

SquareTrade also tested the phones to a point of "catastrophic failure," the point where they become unstable which is essentially when the screen cracks. The Galaxy S6 Edge survived 149 lbs before failing while the iPhone 6 Plus survived a little under 180 lbs.
