During a durability test by JerryRigEverything, Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold failed catastrophically, with the device snapping along a known weak point, failing dust resistance, and ultimately catching fire due to battery short-circuiting, marking a significant failure in foldable phone design.
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 Pixel 10 Pro XL has demonstrated exceptional durability in JerryRigEverything's stress tests, withstanding scratches, burns, and bends, indicating it is the toughest Pixel yet and built to last with a 7-year software support promise.
YouTuber JerryRigEverything tested the durability of the Nintendo Switch 2, finding it surprisingly strong despite a plastic screen that scratches easily. The device's Joy-Con attachment points also proved resilient, with the console able to withstand force without damage, leading to a positive overall assessment.
The Google Pixel series emerged as a significant victor in JerryRigEverything's Smartphone Durability Awards of 2023, with the Pixel 7a being named the Most Durable Smartphone due to its plastic build, and the Pixel 8 Pro (Fairphone 5 in the US) winning Most Repairable Smartphone of the Year. The Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate was recognized for innovation but also noted as fragile and difficult to repair. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 was awarded Most Repairable Foldable Smartphone. The Pixel Fold, however, was deemed the Least Durable Mobile Device of the Year.
The OnePlus Open, touted as one of the best foldable phones in the market, has proven its durability in a recent test by JerryRigEverything. Despite some bending and the glass slightly popping out, the phone survived well, outperforming the Pixel Fold. While the test may not reflect daily use, it showcases the OnePlus Open as one of the more durable options available.
YouTuber Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything assembles the Honor Magic V2, touted as the industry's thinnest foldable phone. The device features a super light titanium alloy hinge that reduces thickness by 75% and is 42% lighter. Honor developed its own silicon-carbon battery system, resulting in a 2.2mm thin design with a combined 5,000mAh capacity and 66W fast charging. The Magic V2's display is fragile but durable when not bent excessively. In comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Magic V2 is thinner despite Samsung's hinge improvements.
The Nothing Phone 2 performed well in the JerryRigEverything durability test, with minor scratches and burns not causing significant damage. However, the phone has minimal protection against water and dust, with an IP54 rating, so caution is advised when it comes to water exposure.
