This might be the only phone on the market that'll save you from an ISIS suicide bomber

PARIS — A Parisian man struck by shrapnel from a suicide bomb blast in one of the many attacks claimed by Islamic State that hit the French capital Friday night says he has his cell phone to thank for his survival, according to an ITV report.
The man, identified only as Sylvestre, says he was on his phone while walking nearby Stade de France, the surrounding area of which was struck by three separate suicide bomb attacks that night.
And just as Sylvestre ended his conversation, a nearby suicide bomber reportedly activated his explosive vest, hurling dangerous debris all around and sending Sylvestre flying backwards.
"I was crossing the street and straight away, boom, it exploded right in front of me," said Sylvestre in an interview with iTELE. "Everything was blown to bits and I felt stuff flying around and I left, I fell and then I got back up."
Despite sustaining minor injuries, Sylvestre escaped serious damage thanks to his Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
"This is the cell phone that took the hit, it's what saved me," he continued. "Otherwise my head would have been blown to bits."
Given the damage it sustained, the phone probably isn't working anymore. Let's hope that Sylvestre's insurance included coverage for damage caused by ISIS suicide bomb attacks.
