      I’m not entirely sure i’m a Samsung fan myself but i’d say it’s probably because it’s quite thin and where the buttons are on the side cause a weak point where it could bend if you put force on it.

      It bends because they tried to make it as big as possible but weight as little as possible. It meant that some parts of the phone (which is quite big) didn’t have much material for strength (The frame is made for aluminum, which is pretty flexible), so the phone bent when a constant force was applied (Like being bend in the pocket of your jeans).
