With every major new phone release, there arrives a video of something attempting to destroy it.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is actually a pretty tough smartphone, it turns out.
As is proven by YouTuber JerryRigEverything, who went to lengths to cause harm to the brand-new device.
The video, titled “Bend test, Scratch test, Burn test”, shows the Samsung handset standing up to all kinds of abuse.
Check it out:
Of course, as you see in the video, the phone can be scratched and bent, but it’s unlikely to happen under normal use.
That said, JRE does offer some advice to certain users:
“If you’re a heavy-set, skinny-jean-wearing individual, I wouldn’t recommend putting this phone in the back pocket of your skinny jeans. It would compromise that water-resistant seal.”

He also adds that the phone is “stronger than Donald Trump’s hairspray”.
