Samsung apparently chose NOT to ignore the SquareTrade deforming, bending and then ultimately destroying the tech industry giant’s latest and greatest Galaxy “S” series smartphone model. In its own official response to the bend test that had been recently published, Samsung posted a blog post reply that slammed SquareTrade for placing the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone model under a massive amount of weight which the Samsung company claims rarely ever occurs in normal circumstances. The company also says that its internal figures have discovered that the force that’s typically generated whenever an individual presses on their back pocket is around 66lbf.
Samsung says in its own blog post that its internal test results indicated that both new Samsung Galaxy “S” series phones: the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge are not bendable smartphone devices—even under 79lbf, the equivalence of applying pressure to snap a group of 5 pencils all at one time. The pencils that are broken in half appear in the Samsung company’s own video of its bend test. Samsung also noted in a clip of its video bend test that it’s not an easy task to break 4 pencils all at one time, and breaking 5 pencils is an even more difficult task. The Samsung company subjected the Galaxy S6 to the specified force, but never went far enough to actually bend nor destroy its smartphone device, permanently.
Samsung is not happy about SquareTrade only having tested the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with its screen facing upwards. The Samsung company had written that some smartphone devices have different durability in the front and the back sides, respectively. SquareTrade only tested the phone’s front side and this could mislead some consumers about the durability of certain smartphone devices. Therefore, in addition to posting a company bend test and a rebuttal, Samsung formally requested SquareTrade to run the test again, but this time to use both sides of the smartphone, and publicize the results.
