"YouTuber Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything subjected the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to his standard series of durability tests. While the foldable struggled in several of them, it was the bend test that ultimately killed the phone. Although the hinge held firm, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold snapped along the antenna lines. Last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold also had the same weak points. However, what followed the break was unexpected."
"The Pixel 10 Pro Fold's battery exploded, releasing a cloud of smoke. Although the YouTuber conducts the same bend test on every foldable phone, this marks the first time a battery has exploded during one. It's worth noting that this was an extreme durability test, and such a battery explosion is highly unlikely to occur under normal use."
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold went on sale last week and was submitted to an extreme durability test. The foldable struggled in multiple tests and failed the bend test, snapping along antenna lines while the hinge remained intact. The break occurred at the same weak points seen on the previous Pixel 9 Pro Fold. After the break, the device's battery exploded and released a cloud of smoke. This marks the first recorded instance of a battery exploding during such a bend test. The test was extreme, and such an explosion is highly unlikely during normal use. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold starts at $1,799 in the US and €1,899 in Europe.
