The Crazy Way Samsung Keeps Its Phones From Bending

Oct 3 2014 - 8:06am

Ten points for Samsung. In a blog post called "Galaxy Note 4 vs. The Human Gluteus Maximus," the company describes how [1] it puts its devices — including the Galaxy Note 4 — through a couple of bend tests. (No doubt it's Samsung's way of poking fun at Apple's iPhone bendgate saga [2].)

First there's a three-point bend test using pressure from a machine, but that's not what we really care about. At minute 1:07 we get a peek at a human weight test where a butt robot — wearing mom jeans, mind you — simulates the device repeatedly being sat on. And we mean repeatedly, in fast motion, to the point where you think you're watching the Anaconda music video [3].

See all the awkwardness now.
