Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Durability Test Results Raise Concerns
The recently launched Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has undergone rigorous durability testing, revealing potential weaknesses in its design. Conducted by YouTuber Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything, the tests aimed to assess the device’s resilience to various stressors.
The examination involved the standard series of tests performed on mobile devices. While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold exhibited vulnerabilities in several areas, the bend test proved particularly detrimental. During the test, the device’s structural integrity failed, resulting in a critical failure.
Specifically, the device fractured along the antenna lines, a point of weakness previously observed in the prior generation Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This structural failure was followed by an unforeseen event: the device’s battery exploded, releasing a plume of smoke. The YouTuber, known for consistent testing methodologies across a range of foldable devices, noted that this was the first instance of a battery explosion during these tests.

It is crucial to emphasize that this durability assessment involved extreme stress conditions. The likelihood of a battery explosion occurring under typical usage scenarios remains exceedingly low.
