Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Explodes During YouTuber’s Durability Test

YouTuber Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything tested the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold in his durability series, where the foldable’s battery exploded and emitted smoke during a bend test. Nelson had also questioned the phone’s IP68 rating, noting the hinge isn’t dust-resistant. He criticised Google’s claims of improved durability, stating the device showed no progress over previous models. The explosion marked the first in his 10 years of testing, especially disappointing given that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 passed the same test without damage.
