S6 Edge confirmed bred with tank DNA?

That's pretty incredible!

This is very good news indeed

makes you wonder how durable the regular s6 is if the edge can handle that abuse lol

This guy did 2 drop tests one landing face down and surprise the glass didn't shatter. It had a couple of dents though
http://phoneradar.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-drop-scratch-smash-test/

Awesome, but everyone STILL GET A CASE!

Oh wow I wasn't expecting it to be that violent lol and what looks like a concrete floor. Very impressive indeed

I don't think I've ever seen that much violence on a phone and it not break lol pretty impressive.

That was awesome! Makes me feel even better about my purchase

I wasn't going to use a case anyway, but now I know I don't even have to be that careful.

Wait the violent smashing video is edited?

No I meant they corrected their article they originally said it was the s6 but it was the s6 edge

If that's real, that's amazing...I've never seen a phone take that kind of punishment before.

Someone from reddit found the original source at higher quality. Definitely seems legit

Ouch! Made me cringe. :laugh:
This is good news for me though as I hate cases and will be taking the risk with mine!

I hate cases...I've never used a case...and luckily have never broken a screen. I will be putting on screen protectors, but will skip the case on my incoming S6E.
It always makes me laugh that everyone wants these premium looking phones, but then cover them up. What's the point in a good looking phone in that case?

Thats why I have a clear case, extra protection plus you can still see the beauty of the phone

so after I saw those tests I also think about not to buy a case..I had always a small case..only to have no scratches at the back..

Clearplex?

Anyone try these yet? theres been a few videos floating around the net lately about them. One video has a grandma shooting a iphone in the air with and without it, another shows the clarity and smoothness of it vs the invisable shield. there $13.99 for just the screen and since i had some money just sitting in my paypal account i thought id order one.

well, it looks nice. im buying one now because I have a zagg cover on now and cant stand it with the s pen. I hope this one is better...
Someone should do a review after they get it. I never use screen protectors cause i hate the sticky feel of it.

i currently have the ghost armor one on mine and it doesnt have the sticky feel at all. Ill try to throw up a mini review when i get mine, if it doesnt work out so well i got a back up ghost armor at least. they gave me 2 sets when i got mine.
I've been looking for something like this. I'll write a review on this when I get it. Remember to use grandma at check out for a discount.
Looks very interesting, I'm more intrigued by how impact resistant it is. Would love a review of this one.
I absolutely detest screen protecters but I have had to go back to them because of my job. I'm doing sheet metal/air conditioning for the summer until I start the nursing program in august, then it will be bye bye protector. but in the mean time I really need a good protector that feels nice with the s pen. My zagg one is'nt cutting it, so, here we go...I hope to give a review soon.

I apologize guys. My clearplex came in today and i had the intention of taking lots of pix of my ghostarmor on there with screen on and off, then taking comparison pix with the clearplex. Well instead i got drunk and decided i wanted it on now to test it lol. Good news is I did snap a few photos, got it on perfectly, but i didnt take as many pix as i hope for. Ill give it a few days to test out. For now ill say this, it really looks like there isnt a screen protector on there, clarity seems great, and feels like my finger is actually on glass not a protector.

well, just installed clearplex on my phone and I must say that for the note this has to be the perfect screen protector. you really cant tell its there. the s pen works phenomenal compared to the zagg protector I had on it. it feels like glass and not the plastic feel. I would definitely recommend this to someone. great find op. im glad I got it!

Not sure what went wrong with mine then... put it on with what appeared to be a pretty good install, no bubbles or anything like that to speak of. However the rainbowing/striping effect is pretty bad. Granted, that can only be seen when the phone is off, but still. (it's just been a day so I'll give it a couple to settle in as they say in the instructions, but based on others I've used, I'm not expecting much of a change) Also not a fan of the fit... there's a pretty good gap around the edges since the length of the protector is close to an 1/8" smaller than the screen.
On the pro side, it does have a nice feel to it, touch sensitivity is very good, and the clarity through the rainbowing seems decent enough.

I have that effect as well, but I'm sure its because there's still moisture. It has been getting better daily. Remember to go over the screen with the cloth and card twice a day for 5-7 days. Clarity is possibly the best I've seen so far

yes, the protector itself is a tad bit small, but I can live with it. as far as the rainbow, i dont have that problem...for the most part, it is working out great and the feel compared to anything else I've tried is amazing. I do think any protector is not fun to use but this one is , to me, the best so far. especially thefeel and the way the s pen works on it. I hope it works out for everyone.
Awesome thanks guys for leaving some feedback , im prob gonna pick one up then.

LG G2 Drop test.

Well some of you probably waiting for this.
To keep it short:
Back drop - OK
Side drop - Fatal
Probably due to thin bezel, but we all know the risk when we brought this phone right?
yeah, looks like that thin bezel doesn't fare well on accidental drops..
thats why i ordered my Spigen Slim Armor for good reason..
Pretty much any phone will shatter the display if it lands on the side or bottom, most if not all phone are edge to edge glass these days which doesn't help.
Hmm think it does fairly poorly. Note 3 only cracked on direct drop, not from corner hit.
Also it stops working early. This is definitely not a rugged phone.

This is totally random. 100%. And these phones aren't made to be dropped from those heights either. If you are an bad user, you buy something thats made to take a few hits. Not phones like these, these should be used with care, not childish or stupid actions.

To believe it we should see a video capturing the phone falling from the hands to the ground than he should turn it on immediately without editing

I think the ground bashed the phone enough that he didn't have to.
There is nothing scientific to it people. Even with all the camera angles you guys mentioned. Someone will still cry foul when it doesn't fall exactly right.
This phone looks fragile enough for it to be believed that it will break on the first fall.
-LG G2
Almost any phone if it hits just right will shatter. Its all about force. Hitting it on the corner or a small area will produce more force as its not distributed, like laying on a bed of nails as opposed to stepping on a single nail. These are all glass screens, gorilla or not. Never seen a phone that I cant find one drop test where the screen doesnt have some damage...so lets see what flexible "non-glass" displays can do...

If you consider life an extended drop test, my RAZR has survived amazingly well. To be honest, I don't know how the screen hasn't been broken. I remember when I first got it, I was afraid it would break easily from flexing because it was so thin. It never did. I even started throwing it 10 ft. in the air and letting it land on concrete and asphalt just so I could rub it into my friend's faces that used iPhones. lol, I'm such a jerk.

I gotta say my original Droid Razr seems to be indestructible. Dropped it many times and it only suffered minor scuffs.
I dropped my LG G2 today, I was trying to put it in my coat pocket and missed, so it fell on the floor from waist height and the quick view case came off but no scratch or crack to be found!
Lucky this time...

RHINOSHIELD Crash Guard

I don't know if you guys know about RhinoShield, they make great screen protectors.
They started a new kickstarter campaign for an awesome case, problem is, it is currently only for the iphone community. I spoke with them and they said, if enough people want it for the nexus 6, they will look into making for the nexus 6.
Here is a link to their campaign so you guys can check them out:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1081571316/rhinosheild-crash-guard-slim-impact-bumper-for-iph
Pre-order page can be found here:
RhinoShield Crash Guard
If enough people like this case/ willing to try it, I will send them a message letting them know we want this case!
That looks great. I usually love having bumpers on my phone. I would get that if it was available for the Nexus 6.
I would definitely buy one
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
I'd buy 2 if they can ship in the next month
Definitely in if they make one for N6.
count me down for one also
Sounds like a great product. Hopefully they make a case for the nexus 6
Won't be buying it, as i really don't like the design. Sure, if you drop your phone from up high, and it lands on a flat surface, like on their video, it will surely work.
Now picture a drop on something protruding, that'd hit the back of the phone: what'll there be to dampen the shock? Not the bumper, as it's only on the sides. So the shock will be transmitted to the insides of the phone, where something will possibly break.
And the optional transparent backcover won't change anything to that: it works with screens, because it rigidifies them, preventing the vibration caused by the shock, which is what actually makes glass shatter. Such a thing doesn't prevent energy from being transmitted: it actually helps energy transmission, and just alleviates the consequences on something as fragile as glass. On the back, the best it'd prevent is mere scratches.
Last thing: I have troubles with taking seriously any promise of protection when the very obvious dust covers (which I happen to need) happen to lack...
So, really: no, not interested at all.
I'm interested. All I ever want is a good bumper. Although only if it was released on a timely manner. I'm not interested if it took 6 months.
THEY HAVE A PRE-ORDER PAGE UP! If enough people pre-order, they'll start making them.

I think I'm gonna give it a shot based on the look of the one they made for the iPhone.
I'd like to see it first as well. Wonder if it's only going to be the bumper or have a plastic back too since the phone has a curve to it.
Also, kind of sucks it's more then the iPhone ones on the Kickstart page. There you can pledge the £12 ($19.19) and get one. Be cool if they offered the combo pack, bumper and screen protector, like they do on the Kickstart page.
What I would be worried about is the curved back of the Nexus 6. How would a bumper protect the back if it is stick out beyond the bumper?

you should check out their screen protector (watch their video www.evolutivelabs.com), I have it on my Nexus 5 tough as nail! I think using a bundle+bumper should be good enough.

My same thoughts, I had their screen protectors on my nexus 4 when I had it. Dropped the phone from top bunk without a case(about 7ft), it landed flat and had no damage. The screen protector had some scratches and dents from stuff on the ground but peeled it off and screen was like new.
Render update?
Anyone have any additional news on this?
I was hoping to see a render of the product this week.

I'm very SHOCKED!!!!!

I'm still getting it, but it's something I couldn't ignore...

There are different levels of aluminium strength. Obviously they went the cheap route here and picked such soft aluminium as it can be clearly seen in the video.
Don't know about you ,but I treat my phones like a precious piece of China anyway.I have just come from a one M7 after 2 years where it never had a case or a SP on it,always kept in a leather pouch when not in use and it is still in immaculate condition.I'm not going to burn it with a lighter,scratch it with s pick{if I did I'd get a new screen put in anyway ) and its front pocket with nothing else in there.....

LG G5 painted plastic coating?

LG G5 painted in plastic coating?
Jerry rig everything video shows alot of proof.
Most of the professional reviewers are scared to speak the truth. Why? Are you scared of LG?
It is a die-cast aluminium body which then has the antennas placed on the outside (because the signals wouldn't get through the metal) there is then a primer to help the paint bond to the aluminium and cover up the antennas. They then use a microdised finish over the top which is effectively a metallic paint.
It's not plastic it's just not been machined and anodised. They were going for a different take on the metal body that could allow them to hide the antennas.

A diffrent take lol. That plastic coating pretty much negates the need of having metal in a phone. Just make it out plastic if ythats all ill feel when holding it !
Most concerning part is the display assembly. So thin that you can see the pressure points when you select something. Maybe i am to demanding idk, but all the different phones over the years i have never experienced such thing.

You get the benefit of heat dissipation and rigidity/strength of the metal body instead of a plastic body.

im pretty sure no one complained about such thing with S5/G4 and earlier devices that used full plastic builds. You are delusional my friend, they are missleading consumers, & then coming out with some bs excuse, "we are doing it differently, we didnt want to do what everyone else is doing" !
I'm not delusional, people just seem to have got it stuck in their heads it is basically a full plastic build. There is plastic in every metal phone, just of varying degrees.
I've no issue with the way they have constructed the phone. If you don't like it then don't buy it.

The truth is LG G5 is ugly phone compared to galaxy S7 edge. I even think HTC 10 will be better then LG G5.

definetly, the chanfer might be too big, but still, they are fixing what was broken in previous gens, & there software is the top OEM skin out there, so yeah it will be a good competitor to the S7/Edge.
It's called paint people get over it, especially from your gs7s
trolls everywhere…
seriously… this device has not been shipped worldwide yet and people already start complaining about built quality. get a life.
i preordered my g5 including a free camera module and i'm proud of that decision so far.
all thats left is that they start shipping to germany.
I keep wanting to think that the GS7E is good lucking. Maybe it's just that I'm coming from the G3 but....it just seems too damn narrow! But to be honest, the biggest problem is that I can't play with the GS7E at any of the stores, they're all on demo mode...maybe I should go into another carrier's store where there's one I can actually demo. Can anyone tell me whether your carrier typically has its demo phones NOT on retail mode? I'm on sprint here (and still undecided between G5/GS7E/GS7).

I per-ordered the G5 and got it Friday. I have had no issues with. This whole metal vs. plastic issue is a joke. Structurally speaking, this is great phone. They had to switch to the thin metal aluminum in the back because of the void between the back and the screen when you take out the battery. And when you do take the battery out, there's very little to no deflection.
I have an metal body iphone 5s for work and i hate it. This is so much better.

I'm not here to insult, just to inform on my experience thus far. However, i wish you wouldn't be commenting so negatively on this phone without using it for some considerable time. A 10 minute in-store demo use of the phone shouldn't count especially when you are looking for all the negatives. When i pick up a phone in the store i look for all the negatives first before the positives.
Like I said, the look and fell of this phone is great after 4 days of use. The main selling point for me was the removable battery and the camera. The battery seems like it's very easy to swap and the camera is superb. I took it to a show on Friday and the pictures where incredible especially in wide view. I'm sure the 7s takes better pictures, but i really like the wide angle.
I personally don't care for all the friends modules they're advertising.
Had i read your comments before i purchased the phone, i probably wouldn't have bought the phone. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to answer.
