Nexus 6P: Rumors of it easily bending have been greatly exaggerated
Seen that video of the new Nexus 6P bending like it's made of cheese? Got you worried that your new Nexus 6P is going to be banana-shaped by the end of the week? My advice, don't worry.

Given enough time, money, and effort, you can do pretty much anything, and this video is an example of just that. The main thing to notice in this video is how the Nexus 6P bends and breaks at exactly where heat was applied to the display. This makes sense since heat does that to both metal and glass.

The takeaways are obvious. Smashing stuff is easy while being even vaguely scientific isn't, and don't believe everything you come across on the internet.
