I take it you didnt watch the full video then Jack?

Just to add some fairness, he also did his own iphone6+ which he noticed already started to bend

Wow what a revelation!
The application of sufficient force will be enough to bend metal objects.

6 minutes of my life wasted.
Meh what a non-event.

Tony, are you saying there's a chance the iPhone 6 will bend if you apply enough force? That's a new one.

Jack, people were complaing that the iphone bent when being kept in their pocket. They did not complain that if they used enough brute force they could bend it with their hands.

I did not watch the video but did the note 4 bend under the strain of being in someones pocket?

Maybe Apple can supply the cases for free like they did for the iPhone 4's antenna-gate fail.

You really didnt watch it did you Jack?

Lets see, to stop wasting peoples time, the guy had previously tested his OWN iphone 6+ which he had for 2 weeks, he noticed that it was already slightly bent on checking it (no stress test, just in his pocket).
That one bent very well when he did try.

The Note 4, he bent but then he bent it back and it looked ok, he basically said that the Note 3 was the strongest mobile device he had tested (plastic case) and that any aluminium phone would bend given enough stress on it.

Tony

PS, he didnt bend his iphone 6+ back.....

In another "bend test" video he did say it tried to straighten it back, but that resulted in a crack the aluminum case by the volume button and a crack in the glass screen.

Any phone will bend with enough force applied what a revelation.

Aluminium is a dumbass material for a phone that large and thin, FRP (or titanium) would have been much better.

Have sat on my note 2, knelt on it, all sorts, still straight as a die.

It's officially released today but not seen any decent deals for it, all stupidly expensive like the iphone 6 deals.

I got the Note 4 on a silly cheap deal in the end and what a fantastic bit of kit. Actually what i've been wanting from a phone for a long time, Samsung finally made it. Very very pleased with it.

Undecided on a Note 4 or the Nexus 6, given they have similar specs. I will wait till end of November before deciding. My mate wants my Note 3 so guaranteed some money from it

I wouldn't buy the nexus over the samsung as although they may be similar the nexus will be more budget and less features.

The Nexus 6 isn't lacking in features or budget. Top spec equals the Note 4 except stylus pen. Patience will enable me to see plenty of reviews from both phones
