Apparently there’s a market for extreme phone testing out there, which includes things like belting brand new, $1000+ phones with hammers, cutting them with knives, and generally being pretty awful to an expensive piece of equipment.
I found two of these videos which made me question everything. Why anyone, for video views or anything else, would find it necessary to subject a phone to such rampant disregard is beyond me, but I suppose there’s a market for just about anything these days.
In any event, here are the two videos. Take a look and tell me whether you’d be prepared to put your brand new Samsung Galaxy S6, or anything else, through a torture test like this.
Poor S6 🙁
I think the thermal safety in the S6 hadn’t cooled down enough so the phone could be powered back on again.
