Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold battery explodes during extreme durability test | Infinium-tech
Google’s brand new Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which went on sale last week, has been subjected to extreme durability testing. Test results suggest that the foldable may not be as durable as Google claims.
YouTuber Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything subjected the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to his standard series of durability tests. While the foldable struggled in many of them, it was the bend test that ultimately axed the phone.
Although the hinge stayed strong, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold broke along the antenna lines. Last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold had the same weaknesses. However, what happened after the break was unexpected.
The battery of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold exploded, causing a cloud of smoke. Although the YouTuber does the same bend test on every foldable phone, this is the first time that the phone has experienced a battery explosion while bending.
It’s worth noting that this was an extreme durability test, and such a battery is highly unlikely to explode under normal use.
