In an effort to benefit from the Bendgate controversy, Samsung has posted a new Galaxy Note 4 bend test video.

The video shows a 3-point bend test being performed on the device, as well as a human weight test which simulates a 220 lb man sitting on the device hundreds of times.

Leaving things in your back pocket can lead to, well, bent things. Hence the question: what about my phone? Namely, the Galaxy Note 4. Samsung makes and sells hundreds of millions of smart devices each year, and it's very important that each and every one is in line with its strict quality control standards. So, to make sure you can rely on its devices, including Galaxy Note 4, Samsung runs rigorous tests both during and after development and production. This video shows some of the tests that Samsung runs to give you, and your back pocket, peace of mind.

Take a look at the video below...

Samsung needs to sell their phones cheaper. Compete with the Chinese like XiaoMi. The way Samsung markets its phones will fit very well at the bottom end of the market.

Is Samsung also selling pants with big back pockets to fit note 4?

I like how that machine was barely touching the phone. We all know that it will break.

the one sufering from bengate is apple, and will never accept it. That is the real problem. and a whole bunch of others personal problems that apple has. apple is a gimmick.

how you make a string phone but can't make a phone where they charging port doesn't smell like its burning after charging your phone

Someone is jealous of the 10million orders and 2 million in china in 6 hours

Do some research. Samsung has historically lied about their numbers. CEO lied to shareholders. All documented. All proven. You don't even have any proof when you talk about Apple.

time to put these side by side, and start bending !!! bend over Samsung!!!

Furthermore, Apple wins. Cheaper phone cheaper strength.

How do you tell them? Take care of it outside like you can inside... if you can bother improving it!

krishnakant26 - October 2, 2014 at 6:08pm

How can plastic bend on bumping on it? For plastic to bend force should be applied and kept for some time. And also on bending like did for iPhone there are more chances of breaking the plastic phone. Samsung should learn physics before posting such videos.

They put almost no weight on it. Why don't they put as much weight as they did on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus for a side by side bend test?

gamerscul9870 - October 2, 2014 at 5:43pm

We all know what's happening next. I foresee an ad coming.

gamerscul9870 - October 2, 2014 at 5:42pm

My friend told me his snapped in half after it was bent a little up to about 23 degrees then cracked.

Weak tests. This is hardly comparable to the bend tests Consumer Reports has done.

And so the who's better begins?

SimonSays - October 2, 2014 at 5:13pm

I don't care if it can withstand a missile strike. I'm still never going to buy an Android device let alone a plastic Samsung phone.

Simon says - October 2, 2014 at 5:05pm

Who cares, just treat your stuff with respect its like saying i reversed my car into a wall at 2 mph and it cracked my bumper!

Ynona - October 2, 2014 at 6:23pm

Lol! Well said Simon!

I would have given them more points if they used twerk music during the bum test.

Yezzir - October 2, 2014 at 5:01pm

Ahahaha!!!!

iDood - October 2, 2014 at 4:44pm

Do they even have to copy this process as well? Come on now.

iDontKnow - October 2, 2014 at 4:41pm

Even kids can bend the iphone. What a pricey and weak device.

Great! - October 2, 2014 at 6:47pm

You mean the stupid ones going to jail?

iDontKnow - October 3, 2014 at 5:07am

I have note 3 ang iphone 5. It is incomparable.
