How bad is it? Pretty bad, Samsung S6 Edge as Bendable as iPhone 6 Plus & More Likely to Crack Under Pressure - according to a San Francisco-based extended warranty service provider that took the matter so seriously it conceived a 'BendBot'. Exactly, a robot whose sole purpose in life is to test the fortitude of various gadgets while under pressure.

I'm not surprised it bends as easily as the 6 plus.
I'm also not surprised that the screen cracks to the side more easily. It makes sense if you think about it, you're bending an already warped display.

Ridiculous non-issue if you ask me. Unless you put your phone in your back pocket and always sit on it. But then what other phones have they tested besides those 3 models that do substantially better under same conditions?
