Will they start bending phones for Jesus?

I think so guys came to my middle school one time. Don't know if its all the same guys but one dude blew up those rubber water bottles things.

 

[Majine]

Didn't the iPhone have like 9 total complaints about bending? This seems overblown.

 

[borghe]

They copied too much.

/thread

meh.. I'll say the same thing I said as an apple supporter.. thin metal bends... and likely in 99% of common use cases bending will never be an issue.

nice to see how authentic samsung is in their copying though.

 

[Aurongel]

Quick! I need a word to add a -gate suffix to so this can go viral!

Welcome to 2014 Samsung fans.

typical apple fan response

The S6 is the best phone Samsung has made is what I'm reading...

But if you're set on removable storage and batter I get it. Check out the note 4 as well.

I'm sure the tech inside the S6 is nice. Not meaning to trash that aspect of it. But yeah, I guess being an Apple phone user for so long (since the 3Gs) I just liked that the S5 tried to be different.

Will look into the note too, thanks.

Lol Samsung. While I'm fairly certain it won't be an issue, it's always good to see them shoot themselves in the foot with their Apple attacks. I'm a current iPhone user looking to switch back to android and I would never buy one of their bloated, Touchwhizzed piles.

lolz Samsung

 

[axisofweevils]

Found the actual Samsung advert. Teh irony.

 

[riotous]

Overblown, yes, but not to those who have dropped or damaged the phone.

Which I guess is fairly "normal."

Time will tell if dropping the aluminum Samsung phones have a similar fate.

My wife dropped her iPhone 5 down some stairs an it warped/bent badly as well. It can happen to any aluminum phone.

hillarious.


I'm sure this will blow up as much for Samsung as it did for apple.

All those Android fanboy posters now look incredibly stupid.

 

[The Real Abed]

So how many Samsung fanboys are going to go out and buy an expensive S6 just to make a YouTube video of them bending it just to prove that it can bend when you force it to bend like people did for the iPhone?

 

[BocoDragon]

Bendgate was an Internet meme. Mass hysteria, really.

There are now millions of iPhone 6s in the wild.. So where are all the bent ones?

 

[No Love]

Found the actual Samsung advert. Teh irony.

Someone should Photoshop a new ad with Samsung and Apple phones bending to an old brickphone, like this:

Brickphone says "What the fuck is wrong with you kids?"

Replaced at the closest Apple Store and sent back to Apple along with the other 3 that it actually happened to and the 50 that were bent just for fun and 15 minutes of YouTube fame.

The Note 4 doens't bend (as bad), though.

 

[Enco]

110 pounds of pressure, ffs.

This whole situation, for apple and Samsung, is an overblown click driven media circus. Stop reading headlines and getting suckered.

Pretty much.

 

[Technosteve]

samsung copied the radius of the bezel on the iphone way to much

 

[Vyer]

bendgate was always overblown bullshit.

difference is the people who were drumming up the hysteria then are probably going to be pretty quiet now.

 

[ZeroX03]

Bendgate was hilarious. Totally overblown.

If this phone bends as many units as the 6 Plus did Samsung has nothing to worry about.

 

[Tevos]

That's what happens when they try to copy every apple design possible.

I'll stick with my S5, even if it is crippled by Lollipop now.

 

[SolidusDave]

dat premium build quality

Spoiler

my S5 doesn't bend, can easily drop as hard as any alu phone w/o any damage, has a removable case and is water proof. Yet people perceive its plastic case as something inferior. Ok.

 

[MercuryLS]

The biggest issue was with the iPhone 6 Plus bending in people's pockets from the curvature of their thighs. If the same thing happens with the S6 then it's an issue as well. Otherwise, this test is stupid, of course the phones will bend/break with that level of pressure applied.
