Ahead of Samsung’s next-generation flagship smartphone debut, people saw leaked images of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge and called them iPhone clones. While there are clearly some indisputable similarities between the new Galaxy S6 and Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, in the end, we believe the S6 definitely isn’t the shameless iPhone ripoff some Apple fans believe it to be.
We’ll see plenty of comparisons between the Galaxy S6 lineup and Apple’s latest iPhones in the coming weeks once the new Samsung phones are released. In the meantime, one gadget reviewer set out to answer a question that will determine whether or not Samsung inadvertently copied one of people’s least favorite iPhone features: “Bendgate.”
DON’T MISS: Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 Plus face off in the ultimate camera shootout
When Apple first released the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, people couldn’t buy them fast enough. Apple had finally relented and released iPhones with larger displays, and they would end up bringing Apple the most profitable quarter any company has ever recorded.
As is the case with all Apple launches, however, this one was accompanied by “scandal.” This time around, the issue related to the structural integrity of the larger iPhone 6 Plus; people found that the phone was bending in their pockets.
Bendgate has long since vanished from the public’s collective interest, but gadget bloggers don’t forget things quite as quickly. As a result, at least a handful of bloggers attempt to bend each and every new phone that comes out.
We can expect to see several attempts to bend Samsung’s latest and greatest over the coming weeks, and in the meantime we have our first video bend test of one half of Samsung’s new dynamic duo.
So, will the Galaxy S6 edge bend? Find out in the video below, which was posted to YouTube earlier this month by Chinese Smartphones Review.
