In the wake of recent complaints against the new iPhone 6, Samsung announced one of the biggest features of its Galaxy Note 4: it won’t bend when you sit on it.
WATCH:
Samsung claims that if you “leave things in your back pocket long enough,” they might bend. This list of objects includes wallets, credit cards, forks (“No, I don’t know why it was there”) and unspecified smartphones.
In addition to eye-catching graphics, the video also illustrates the Galaxy’s strength via the scientific “Three-Point Bend Test” as well as the humorous “Human Weight Test.”
The latter simulates “the device being repeatedly sat on. In this case a 100kg man sitting on it several hundred times.”
Finally, Samsung states that the Galaxy’s structural integrity stems from a metal frame and magnesium brackets, forming a “mutually reinforcing structure between parts.”
However, it doesn’t take an engineering degree to understand what Samsung is really saying. What’s the Galaxy Note 4’s greatest strength?
It’s not an iPhone.
