Anecdote: I have owned a Nexus 6p for ~6 months now. When I'm not using it, it's either on my nightstand (sleeping) or it's in my pocket. It has not bent. I have carried several chocolate bars in my pockets before (mostly when I was younger). They bend very easily. (They also melt and even when they don't escape the packaging, there is melted chocolate all over the wrapper, and it's nearly impossible to eat without making a mess. And if you let it cool again, those tiny chocolate traces end up falling all over!) Anyway, I'm not sure I got the point of this (only incredibly tangentially related to the post) piece of FUD.

My 6p hasn't been a problem but I actually know someone who managed to bend theirs. Google replaced it.

>FUD So this video is wrong? He made TWO videos showing how easily Nexus 6P bends because people accused him of faking it the first time. Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTIaUH6PIvo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTIaUH6PIvo Fact is that Nexus 6P is incredibly poorly engineered due to the placement of various button cutouts and battery position. Can you take your phone and do what he did and prove him wrong? Go ahead. Until then, this is not FUD and your post is nothing more than a rationalization.

  I don't know. Oddly enough, picking up my phone, placing my thumbs in a particular location along the body of the phone so as to minimize the structural rigidity of the device, and applying force just isn't part of my use case for a phone. I use my 6p like every other phone I have used, and it hasn't bent. Good enough for me! Seriously. I'm a big dude, and my everyday life is filled with objects that I could bend with a similar amount of force, including objects that I carry on my person and/or interact with a lot. I don't pick them up and try to bend them, and they don't bend.
