Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold Explodes During Durability Testing

He's done the same series of tests on basically every mainstream phone from at least the past 10 years. Here's him doing the same bend test on the Samsung Fold 7 for example. Unlike the Pixel 10 Fold, it doesn't break open from being folded backwards. https://youtu.be/8hgg4YEdPak?t=500

Isn’t the new fold the one that appears when the stock fold hinge seizes mid-fold due to dust intrusion? If so, that would be a logical outcome to plan for, what with dust being the mortal enemy of hinged displays and all, especially if the case design is well understood to respond to the eventually-certain hinge seizure event by introducing new folds into itself in one of those two locations. I wonder what one of the various battery X-ray people will find when they scan an unbroken one. Does it have cell safety dividers at the known auto-hinge points?

Especially when they advertise it with an IP68 dustproof rating.

his recent iphone tests endured this (more) and still worked.
