Does it bend? Watch JerryRigEverything try to break the Galaxy S25 Edge in durability test.
TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has survived a bend test by YouTube channel JerryRigEverything.
The channel also put the phone through a number of other durability tests.
Samsung's new phone has a titanium frame and uses Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is finally available, and it brings a thin and light design. Does this slim and light design come at the expense of durability, though? Well, YouTube channel JerryRigEverything put the Galaxy S25 Edge through its trademark durability test.
Perhaps the biggest durability-related question is whether the phone, which is made out of titanium, can withstand a bend test. Fortunately, the phone didn't catastrophically break under pressure.
'The Galaxy S25 Edge, as thin as it is, survives the bend test with flying colors,' host Zack Nelson noted during the video. The phone still seemed to function fine, although the rear panel popped off slightly. That's a pretty impressive result in light of the slim design.
What else to know about the S25 Edge's durability?
The Galaxy S25 Edge also features Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the display. The YouTuber showed that the display experiences scratches at level six of the Mohs hardness scale, followed by deeper grooves when using a pick on level seven of the scale. This lines up with most phones, including the S25 Ultra, although last year's S24 Ultra started scratching at level six and saw deep scratches at level eight.
Nelson also took a knife to the phone and found the buttons could pop out somewhat easily. However, the camera housing and lenses stayed firmly attached. Furthermore, the phone's screen didn't seem seriously damaged, if at all, after a lighter was held to it for 30 seconds.
This durability test is a big win for the Galaxy S25 Edge in light of its slim design. Samsung's phone does make compromises elsewhere, though, as it has a small battery and lacks a telephoto camera.

Trump, South Korea's new president agree to make a deal on tariffs that would satisfy both countries
President Donald Trump agreed to quickly work toward a deal on tariffs during his first phone call with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung since he was elected on Tuesday, Lee's office said on Friday. Lee Jae-myung, a liberal, replaced former conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached and ousted over his martial law declaration. South Korea, one of many countries impacted by Trump's tariffs, has a bilateral free trade deal with the U.S. "The two presidents agreed to make an effort to reach a satisfactory agreement on tariff consultations as soon as possible that both countries can be satisfied with," Lee's office said in a statement, adding that working-level negotiations are encouraged to "yield tangible results." Delta Warns Against Imposing New Tariffs On Commercial Planes, Parts, Amid National Security Probe On Imports The future of South Korea's export-oriented economy may be contingent on the type of deal Lee can reach with Trump, as the country's key sectors are heavily exposed to global trade. Read On The Fox Business App In addition to imposing tariffs, Trump has pressured South Korea to pay more for the more than 28,000 U.S. troops stationed in the country. Separately, Trump allies have expressed concerns over Lee's more conciliatory position toward China, which U.S. officials have warned is a threat to the Indo-Pacific region. Trump's 50% Tariffs On Imported Steel, Aluminum Take Effect Trump invited Lee to a summit in the U.S., and the two leaders plan to meet soon, according to the White House. The two could potentially meet at a G-7 summit in Canada later this month. During their call on Friday, Lee and Trump also discussed the assassination attempts they each experienced last year and their joint enthusiasm for golf. Lee underwent surgery after he was stabbed in the neck by a man in January of last year, while Trump was wounded in the ear when a man shot at him during a campaign rally in July. South Korea, one of the first countries to engage with U.S. officials on trade talks, agreed in April to craft a package by early July scrapping levies before the 90-day pause on Trump's tariffs is lifted, although progress was disrupted by the administration changes in Seoul. Lee said just ahead of the elections that "the most pressing matter is trade negotiations with the United States." His camp has also said they plan to seek more time to negotiate with Trump, reiterating the importance of the relationship between the U.S. and South Korea. Click Here To Read More On Fox Business Lee has also voiced more conciliatory plans for ties with China and North Korea, acknowledging China as a major trading partner while shying away from taking a firm stance on security tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Speaking at a security conference in Singapore last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said many countries were tempted by the idea of seeking economic cooperation with China and defense cooperation with the U.S., which he warned could complicate defense cooperation.

How China's Woes Resurrected the Economic Term ‘Involution'
Prolonged economic challenges tend to generate their own terminology. When the US struggled with low growth and below-target inflation in the years after the 2008 crisis, the oft-used phrase was ' secular stagnation.' Even worse conditions in Japan gave rise to a ' deflationary mindset. ' Nowadays, in China, economists, investors and even the government itself are angst-ridden over 'involution' — a term likely unfamiliar even to those who took college macroeconomics. It refers to destructive competition, and it popped up again in recent days after BYD Co., China's biggest electric vehicle maker, triggered 'a new round of 'price-war' panic,' in the words of the nation's automobile industry association.
