While the iPhone bent just a little, the screen of the Samsung phone cracked.The video posted on YouTube by Samsung Tomorrow features a 3-point bend test for the phones in question.

The devices were put through 80 pounds of force-enough to break five pencils at once- which is considered an extreme condition more than most devices encounter in everyday use.

It begins with a disclaimer stating that the video has not been produced to satisfy the 'sadistic desires' by attempting to destroy phones, but to establish that Samsung devices are designed and tested to endure physical stress even in extreme situations.
