I was waiting for him to post this. I didn’t think this phone would withstand all that pressure just from my daily use of it but it did surprisingly decent… just dont bend it the other way lol

      I mean to be fair, it’s not like this is a normal way to handle a device lol. Even if it was more durable, thats not the only way to judge a device

          I just don’t personally see a real world scenario where whatever happened would have the strength or even be able to bend it past 180 degrees due to the fact that well…. Any flat surface or a couch wouldn’t go past 180 or a couch maybe a bit more but that wouldn’t break it.

            I think the only scenario would be to lay it open into a backpack between other stuff. But im sure, other phones could bend then too. I also think a human bend test is not reliable, because its very hard to measure the force you need to bend it. Maybe not everyone has this power in his hand as Jerry 😂

          I know but it’s such a novel test. Like in the almost 15 years I’ve have Smart phones, let alone the 20+ I’ve had dumb phones, I never bent my phone in anyway.

          If I had to choose between a product with better software and camera capabilities, then one that just doesn’t bend as much, I would probably choose the software and camera one 99 times out of 100
