Remember the brouhaha over Apple iPhone 6 Plus being prone to bending. The 'bendgate' controversy that made Apple issue a statement and other smartphone makers poking fun at the smartphone giant.

But as it turns out, Samsung and HTC's latest flagship phones Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and HTC One M9 are no less prone to bending then Apple iPhone 6 Plus.

Electronics insurance company SquareTrade subjected Samsung S6 Edge, the new HTC One M9 and iPhone 6 Plus to the same pressure test.

The company put these devices through a torture test using its 'Bendbot' machine to see when they would bend and ultimately break. Galaxy S6 edge reached its bending point at 110 pounds of pressure, same as that of iPhone 6 Plus.

Here HTC's new One M9 proved better than both the competition, bending at 120 pounds of pressure.

However, when it comes to breaking point, Apple iPhone 6 Plus turned out to be better than both S6 edge and One M9. While One M9 ceased to function after being exerted to 120 pounds of pressure, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge reached its failure point at 149 pounds.

Apple iPhone 6 Plus beat its rivals, working normally until exerted with 179 pounds of force.

Here's the SquareTrade's video where you can see the performance of all the three smartphones yourself:
