If you've been paying attention to viral TikToks recently, you might have seen a video claiming that the Samsung Galaxy S26's flashlight is able to melt through a black plastic trash bag. We had to see whether this was actually true or not, and it turns out that it is.
Not only can a Galaxy S26's flashlight melt through a heavy-duty black trash bag, but it's also able to do it quite quickly. It's not the only phone flashlight that can melt holes through a trash bag, but it was the fastest of the three that we tested. The iPhone 17 Pro Max and Google Pixel 10 Pro flashlights bore out their own holes, but at slightly slower speeds.
