Remember the reports about the iPhone 6, which housing could significantly bend during normal use? This case is echoed on the internet and is jokingly called Bendgate affair. It would seem that most people have forgotten about it, but on the occasion of the premier new HTC and Samsung flagowców problem wyginającymi returned to smartphones. All thanks to a cutscene recorded by SquareTrade.
The researchers decided to conduct an experiment, which was to show resistance housings HTC One and Samsung Galaxy M9 S6 vs. Edge iPhone 6. During the experiment benefited from the calling of a special device specified pressure. As it turned out, the phone Apple apparent bending needed to load the 110-pound (50 kg), and the complete destruction will occur at a pressure of 179 pounds (approx. 81 kg). In the same test received a score of HTC smartphone at 120 pounds (approx. 54 kg), which was tantamount to corruption, because faulty power button located on the center of the enclosure. The last of the devices tested was the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. He is also to bend enough to 110 pounds, and the total destruction followed under the pressure of 149 pounds (approx. 68 kg).
The results of the experiment caused a large storm on the Internet, because it is the most mocked Samsung with Apple on the occasion of scandal Bendgate, and now it turned out that his flagship is not better than the competitor. Of course, at the same time, some have forgotten that the tests carried out rather correspond to the actual conditions in which the phone is worn. It is particularly important that the pressure during the test was applied only at one point, but rather does not happen every day. Despite this, the matter became so loud that Samsung has decided to officially take on the voice. The main objection Koreans proved methodology of the study. In addition, they are so confident in the quality of your phone that SquareTrade encouraged to carry out the next test, but this time in a different way.
According to Samsung, the 50-pound pressure that caused the dent smartphone Galaxy S6 Edge is unparalleled in Under ordinary conditions, because the greatest weight you will have to withstand the housing is a maximum of 30 kg. Most likely it is a situation in which the phone is in your back pocket. In addition, the manufacturer claims that the strength of the unit is different at specific points, and during the test SquareTrade pressure generated only on the front, which is part of the less resistant.
In addition, Samsung has encouraged service to conduct new tests, but this time creating pressure on the front and back of the phone, and then to the public the results of the experiment. In addition, the Koreans have prepared their own video, which shows that both variants of the Galaxy phone S6 can withstand a pressure of 32 kg (necessary for simultaneous fracture of 5 pencils) without permanent warping the cabinet. It is worth noting that in a similar way to react once Apple, which has invited reporters to his laboratory, where it was possible to carry out tests alone housing. At the end of the Koreans added that rigorously test their devices before you bring them for sale. Among the research quality is also controlled dropping, bending and breaking, which is sure to give the manufacturer a large strength of its phones.
