Samsung reacts to Samsung Galaxy S6 'bendgate' claims with a video

Ever since miscreants decided they could bend smartphones like the iPhone 6 by applying pressure at a specific point in the device's case, the overblown 'bendgate' issue has been one that smartphone makers have had to address. Now, it seems it is Samsung's turn. While their new Galaxy S6 has received a lot of praises, there are claims that it is also prone to easily bending (i.e. in one's pocket). Samsung is dispelling this claim by creating a video explaining how resilient their new handsets are. Check it out above.

Featuring a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor, 64GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. Interested users will still have to cough up an additional $159.99 for the smaller, redesigned Type Keyboard and $49.99 for the Surface Pen (which now ships in a bevy of colours).

BlackBerry is working on a new BB10 slider

BlackBerry hasn't been resting on its laurels. After launching the BlackBerry Leap today in Barcelona, the company briefly showed off a premium BB10 smartphone that incorporates a large touchscreen with a QWERTY-keyboard slider reminiscent of its Torch line of devices.

What is interesting about this device is speculation that it will offer a curved display and that it is actually a collaboration with Samsung.

Others are saying it is a Porsche design premium variant (I doubt it). BlackBerry has satisfied the touch and the QWERTY fans with new devices, this may be their way of giving slider aficionados some love. Mmmm sliders...
