TL;DR Summary

The Google Pixel Fold, the company's first foldable smartphone, has undergone durability testing and did not fare well. The outer screen scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, while the inner foldable screen scratches at level 2. The phone's sides are made of metal, but the hinge and antenna lines are vulnerable points. The device also struggled with heat, shutting down automatically after exposure to an open flame. When subjected to a bend test, the Pixel Fold's inner screen was destroyed, rendering it unable to fold shut again.
