Galaxy S6 goes through scratching, bending, and flame torture tests, because why not?

With every major phone release, we find many torture tests to see how the device holds up. The Galaxy S6 is no exception in this latest video as attempts are made to scratch and bend it, as well as set it on fire. It’s a BDSM-lover’s dream.

The Galaxy S6 should be a little more delicate than previous S devices since it has glass and aluminum. However, the aluminum is 6013 grade, which is even better than what the iPhone sports (6063). Plus, the glass is Gorilla Glass 4.

The testing shows that the Galaxy S6 didn’t flinch at keys, a screwdriver, or even a razor blade with a pretty good force. Now fire might not be a good “real life” case, but they applied a lighter to both the aluminum frame as well as the display, and again the S6 didn’t budge.

This brings up to the bend test, which has been a controversy for the iPhone 6 Plus, as well as the Galaxy S6 Edge. By applying “human” pressure at full force, the S6 curved slightly during the bending process, but it didn’t actually bend. The tester was able to get a kink out of it by bending hard and twisting at the same time, but I wouldn’t say this would be a normal occurrence for consumers.

Check out the video for yourself below, but I think the Galaxy S6 has proven to be pretty durable.
