Lenovo's MotoZ is designed to be bendgate-proof

With the latest Moto Z coming into the picture, there are endless YouTube videos that show users testing the device's strength.

In 2014, Apple started selling devices that were built with a uni-body disclosure made using anodized aluminum, stainless steel and titanium inserts that reinforced the stress locations on its devices. However, shortly after the devices were released, several owners revealed that their devices bent after being placed in tight-pocketed pants. Apple justified the same by saying the cases were rare and applied conscious effort into prevent the ‘Bendgate’ situation from taking place. Since then, it is becoming increasingly difficult to convince consumers of the device’s inability to bend.

With the latest Moto Z coming into the picture, there are endless YouTube videos that show users testing the device’s strength. People have tried to bend and break the Moto Z, however; not much success has been possible with the same.

Turns out, Lenovo has designed the Moto Z with ‘bendgate’ in mind.

As they revealed in a blog post:

“We then moved on to the housing — aware that "bendgate" would be a potential issue with such a thin device, we utilized a unique, aircraft-grade stainless steel casing that’s actually 85 percent stronger than our competitors, while keeping the device as light as possible.”

That certainly is good news for consumers.
