A Shocking Explosion! Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold takes a dramatic turn in JerryRigEverything's durability test, leaving us with more questions than answers.
In a recent video, the tech YouTuber put Google's latest foldable phone through its paces, and the results were nothing short of explosive. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, with its sleek design and innovative features, faced a series of challenges, but it couldn't withstand the pressure.
But here's where it gets controversial... The phone failed miserably, and not just in one area. It snapped along the antenna line, a known weak spot in previous Pixel Fold models, leading to a catastrophic failure. And this is the part most people miss: despite Google's claims of IP68 dust resistance, the hinge was filled with debris, proving its vulnerability.
The break caused the internal battery to short-circuit, resulting in a fire and smoke mid-test. JerryRigEverything, with over a decade of experience, had never encountered such an explosive smartphone failure before. He criticized Google for not addressing the antenna line issue, which had caused similar problems in earlier Pixel Fold models.
"This foldable phone is incredibly fragile," he stated. "And the worst part? It's not just a one-time issue. Even when trying to fix it, the battery gave up, leaving me in disbelief. In all my years of testing, I've never seen a smartphone explode like this."
In contrast, the iPhone Air, tested in September, showed impressive durability, bending only under extreme pressure. It's a stark difference that raises questions about the reliability of foldable phones.
So, what's your take on this explosive situation? Do you think Google should have addressed the antenna line issue sooner? Or is this just a case of unfortunate design flaws? Let's discuss in the comments and share our thoughts on the future of foldable technology!
