We take all these device and put the through the bend test. The first device is the Samsung Galaxy S5. No matter how much pressure was applied on the phone, it didn’t break or bend. Then, a twist test was done on the phone. Strangely enough, the Galaxy S5 twisted a lot but it went back to its original position.

The same thing happened with the Galaxy Note 3. It got bent but then it immediately returned to its original shape. This is because these two devices have plastic materials which make them flexible but they have a magnesium alloy frame inside which makes them impossible to bent or destroy.
