Of the latest batch of Samsung and Apple smartphones, what do you reckon is the toughest? The most likely to withstand the rigours of day-to-day life without carking it and leaving you in the lurch?

We suspect many people would assume the Samsung Galaxy S5 would prove the most durable when pitted against the Apple iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge – after all, it’s made of hard plastic which doesn’t shatter easily, and it’s the only one rated to be waterproof – but a recent set of tests seems to prove otherwise.

The durability trial was performed by SquareTrade, a company that provides protection plans for mobile devices and laptops, and consisted of drop, dunk, slide and bend tests. You can watch all these being carried out in the video below (warning: if you don’t like seeing expensive gadgets getting all smashed up, you’ll find it tough going).
