The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold failed a bend test dramatically, with the battery rupturing and catching fire, marking the first time a phone has exploded during such testing, raising concerns about its durability and design flaws.
During a durability test by Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold experienced a catastrophic failure, snapping along the antenna lines and subsequently smoking and exploding when further bent, raising concerns about its durability and safety.
Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air demonstrate strong resistance to bending, surviving pressure tests well above industry standards, but still show vulnerability to screen shattering in drop tests, highlighting the importance of protective accessories despite their improved durability.
A bend test on the iPhone Air shows it requires 216 pounds of force to crack the display, demonstrating impressive durability despite its thin 5.6mm design, and even after cracking, it remains structurally resilient.
The iPhone Air has been tested and confirmed to be the most durable iPhone ever, with excellent bend resistance and significantly improved scratch resistance thanks to the new Ceramic Shield 2, surviving over 215 lbs of force without breaking and showing only minor scratches at level 7.
A recent extreme test has been conducted to determine whether the iPhone Air is prone to bending, addressing common concerns about smartphone durability.
The iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone Air, demonstrates improved durability through various tests, such as resisting 130 pounds of pressure without bending, showing strong scratch resistance with Ceramic Shield 2, and performing well in drop tests, suggesting it can handle daily wear and tear effectively.
A YouTuber tested the durability of Samsung's ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge with a titanium frame, and it successfully withstood a rigorous bend test without structural damage, demonstrating impressive durability despite its slim 5.8mm design.
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.
