Folding smartphone Pixel Fold failed the test Based on the power of video blogger JerryRigEverything. The novelty could not withstand scratches, fire or bending in the opposite direction.
The folding smartphone received two screens – internal and external, which fold in half. The inner screen was easily scratched with the Mohs grade 2 hardness instrument typical for this type of screen. At the same time, the outer screen showed higher resistance – scratches appeared at the sixth level on the Mohs scale, which corresponds to the level of average flagship smartphones. The body of the smartphone was also prone to scratches.
Pixel Fold did not survive the fire. The outer screen was permanently damaged by the cigarette lighter and left a stain on it. After eight seconds of exposure to fire on the internal screen, the smartphone turned off. After turning it on, a spot was found on the internal screen and an overheating message was detected. The latter surprised the blogger, who has been destroying smartphones for 10 years, but has never seen such heat protection systems.
The Google Pixel Fold is IPX8 water resistant, but not dust and dirt resistant. Despite this, the smartphone easily passed the test when it was covered with sand and folded several times. After that, the blogger drew the fingerprint scanner built into the power button, but this did not affect his work.
Blogger managed to break the smartphone by folding it in the opposite direction. The Pixel Fold’s internal screen cracked and stopped working, and the hinge stopped closing completely. The video blogger realized that the smartphone does not have any mechanism to prevent such a twist.
