Video of trying to bend the new MotoX

I just saw this and thought it was cool.

If you don't have time to watch, its a bend test of the Iphone 6, M8, MotoX and the Lumia 1020
The Moto X didn't budge, the reviewer even said "Wow! that's a stout phone". Another warm and fuzzy for Moto X buyers.
But one thing that isn't pointed out in this Video is the M8 and MotoX both have arced backs which greatly enhance structural stability. The Lumia is the one that really impresses me. The milled polycorbonate shell must have really been well designed to be as strong as it is. I think Apple got screwed on the whole bendgate deal. They could have done better but lets face it you can't have ultimate thin, use aluminum and expect it to be exceedingly strong.

It have more to do with internal structure. Most Android phones use magnesium chassis, the iPhone doesn't. Their phone may sell for high prices, but doesn't mean it's the most expensive to produce.

Moto X is more durable than any other phone out there. even the 2013 feel very durable in hand

The first Lumia I held was my mom's 635. I was very impressed with how it felt. Surprising solid heft

But will it blend?

Not really shocked by the results. The Nokia phones are tanks though.

Indeed, the Moto X is far more durable. I wanted to see the 6+ in this video though. It must be pretty fun.
