- The Pixel Fold folds more ways than one. Grab protection for your device HERE: www.dbrand.com/shop/pixel-fold Today we are durability testing the Google Pixel Fold. A brand new folding device from Google. And... well... it does not do so great. The Google pixel fold is first scratched, burned, and bent and ultimately fails the JerryRigEverything Durability test. Hopefully Google can strengthen the phone up a bit for next year. Hit that subscribe button so you dont miss the autopsy. I mean teardown.

I love how you gamely attempted to demo that D-Brand case after the fact. Whoops!
you did this to it, so no worries😅
I think that is where the processor is thats probably why it shut off.
Pretty brave design choice by Google to make foldable that cant handle being folded
Can't be folded in both directions. Neither can our elbows or knees.

The hinge designers did a real good job. Unfortunately the rest of the design team reached their breaking point.
No… The hinge was average, the antenna line was just made extra weak. -all in a days work when you put the marketing team in charge of hardware.

They were unhinged
or someone want you to think that ;)
Just post a comment of what is already said in the video

The reason why it only opens to 178 degrees out of the box is to account for tension over time. This way when it finally expands to 180 degrees after a few months of use it doesn’t end up with a very visible crease in the middle. I am no fan of this phone at all but this specific point I thought was pretty clever.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait, is that sacasm? Or you were serious?
@@sorrycashonly5651 sorry card only
My guess to why it shut down is that the flame was right on top of a temperature sensor and made it think the whole device was overheating. Would have been interesting to see you try holding the lighter on another spot
That's probably where the SoC is yeah
Nice cope
@@MattHipster dude I couldn't care less about a device that I have no intention of buying. I simply stated what I thought the reason was for what happened

@@MattHipster bros fighting his schizophrenic demons lol
I think you coincidentally lit the fire exactly where the tensor chip was inside the phone while doing the burn test, the intense heat felt by the phone mightve gotten it to freak out and turn off.
That seems likely
I’m completely shocked he didn’t try again in a different area to rule that out. First thing I thought of as well.
Do pixels not display a heat warning when they get too hot?
@insainllama they do but if what I say is correct then the heat change was so sudden and big thst the phone didn't have time to show the message
@@insainllama they do
It's actually good for the industry to see a foldable coming from Google.
The only caveat is if they keep it building in it or just killing it after a couple of iterations.
Phone lasts just 2 years, and flagship users buy it every year.
Need to make it just a bit more durable so it survives a year
Exactly, me myself I upgrade my Pixel to the New one every year
@@Gameplayer55055 Where I live, phones have to last 5 years, by law. The manufacturer is liable for any faults due to workmanship or materials for that time period. My current phone is an S9 from 2018. I buy flagship models specifically to _not_ have to buy a new phone every year.

You love talking out of your arse don't you?
"Any 5'11 dude on Tinder knows rounding up is fair game" - did not expect to witness a murder today. 😂
I just recently discovered your channel, and I must say, I love your alliterative wordplay. Kinda painful to watch these expensive devices get ruined, but hey, it's entertaining too. Subbed.
I think I am still a few generations away from my first foldable.
Maybe two more generations. They are getting better ...
- Water resistance is now available,
- Outer screen is usable,
- Software features make use of the larger screen,
- Inner and outer transition is better,
- More apps recognize the form factor.
- Et c.
This 'phone' fad seems really dumb to me. I don't understand the utility if complexity and cost are all you're really adding.
Samsungs foldables are very solid today. If you want to buy a foldable phone I don't think you should wait any longer. There won't be any major updates anymore because they good as they are
@@---fk1ct ... The problem is that most people use their phone as their primary computer ... But the standard phone screen at 6.6inch - tall form factor - is too small for some needs, like reading documents ... So the inner screen is supposed to fill that need .... So that the foldable phone becomes truly the primary computer for such an individual.
The only issue is that alot of useful features have been removed over the years which diminish the power of the same phones: Analog audio jack, Mem card slot for external storage, et c.
My one requirement for foldable is that it should not scratch at level 2. Which basically means I will never buy one. 😂
The Pixel fold didn't pass the durability test, but Zack definitely passed the alliteration assignment, amidst awe-inspiring accomplishment.
Puzzling possibility, pal. Perchance, did Zack partner with a potent AI ally like ChatGPT to provide such prolific prose? The perpetuity of his persuasive and playful performance proposes a potentially profound partnership.
@@madm4ttyProbably. 😂
@@JudgeRightly Perhaps. 😂
Switch amidst to an and your alliteration is an actual sentence!
Wow...weary of words now...we are, aren't we?
Companies should now aim at making phones foldable in either direction to pass Jerry's durability test 😂 👍
Havent watched JRE in a while, loved seeing this video! (most phones hold up the same day to day) Gatta say I love how your personality of the channel has evolved.
“Scratches appear on level 6, deeper grooves at level 7” - a classic dialogue found in this channel that we can never forget :)
This is his ‘will it blend’
8:38 “It’s not the hinge that failed, it’s actually the rest of the phone” 😭🤣
🥺
I fought buying a DBrand for years due to their price being so high. But the lack of grippy cases for new iPhone led to try them. Their GRIP case is the best case I’ve EVER had. EVER.
I loved how Zach started describing the dust process by starting every word with the letter F akin to V for Vendetta
This physically hurts me to see a phone being intentionally scratched and scraped 😭
Craziest thing Ive ever seen.
Welcome to this channel
I cannot stand the scratch noise.
I have watch his scratching videos for many years.. I can tell you, you can never get used to the scratching noise..
Bro hasn't seen a cartel de noreste video
7:18 “you feel me fam” says about 50 words that start with f in a matter of 30 seconds
this video's script is one of the best I have ever listened to. please keep blessing the word with your smooth-toned sleights of speech
The alliteration was so on point. Loved that!
Am I the only one that has to skip past the razor on sides of phone part😂 my body physically can’t handle it I shudder from the noise and it sends chills down my whole body 😬

Omg I was just about to comment this. But I'm learning to get immune (desensitized) to it by not turning the volume down lol. Chalkboards fuck me up too 😂
SAME!|
THAT was almost as good as the V for Vendetta monologue! Well done
I went through 2 google phones in 18 months in my farm job, my Samsung S9 has stood up for 3 1/2 years. I'd like to see a side-by-side of these extreme tests with different brands
Yeah, I'll never buy a Pixel, forget a folding Pixel! 😂😂.
I'm a big fan of the fun alliteration around 7 minutes in, that made me smile a lot.
Folding phones elevates Zack's video from interesting to REALLY interesting. Future's gonna be crazy with Zack scratching and bending VR/AR headsets 💀

Im actually very impressed to see the phone survive being filled with dust/debris and slammed open/shut. Rumor was that a speck of dust would destroy the inner display. Well, according to one tech reviewer anyway.
That's why you definitely can't take what they say at face value
@@BrianGlaze Never do!
Who is it?
@@GH0STST4RSCR34Mwell that’s a L take, if they didn’t want to get the rating they could just say water resistant. And paying for the rating is 100% worth it for the increase in sales
@@GregOfficially it's not an L take, nothing that person said was untrue. A lot of them are just as resistant but just don't want to pay
Best part of the video was the case "demonstration" amidst the rubble and dirt at the end 😂.
New subscriber here, great video!
loved the alitteration segment
D-Brand - don't forget to show our new case on the pixel fold!
Jerry 9:16 FFFFFFFFFF
8:57... its a Z flip!!!
Hey Jerry! I have an idea for a test you could add to your durability tests to make things interesting. You should do a test where you drop the phone into water and then pull it back out. To test the IP water resistance.
You could just do a glass of water.
I know the tests are "extreme" but it's also good to see if you buying something that is built to handle those extremes or not. Gives you a bit more trust in the rest of the build quality.
9:06 the first ever triple folding phone!!!
Google while watching this video: “Stop it he’s already dead” 8:33
Really love that calm narration over annihilating $1800 piece.
The post-destruction case ad was fantastic
5:34 "the entire METAL bezel, is made of PLASTIC" 😭😭😭
The reverse folding test got me scared
It wasn't easy my friends

Where did that 'f' alliteration came from? That was fun! Thank you for sharing!

Love the dbrand cover at the end!
I like seeing you break down phones especially this type of phones you you really help ...... What's the next phone
That was some V for Vendetta stuff right there during the dust test.
If every mobile brand had a guy like you for quality testing imagine the products we have,they must last forever.
Nintendo used to do this, look up the DS durability requirements
But sometimes it makes the phone ls too bulky and heavy....
No one would intentionally use all their strength to fold their phones in half....
Nokia: hold my charger
This is ridiculous! They are not real conditions of use!
@@akagetobimaru1994 no but if you accidentally leave your phone on the sofa and sit on it (which has happened to my phone more often than you'd imagine), it'd be nice to know that it would actually survive.
Glad to see you back in the line-up.Appreciate it.Look forward to seeing and hearing more.✌️
Comedy is always on point with these durability videos
Much appreciated 🙏
Google worked soo deep into the hinge that they forgot rest of the phone💀
The alliterations in the dust test part of the video is what I live for on your channel. Keep it up Zack 🔥
I was like... umm... o.o lol
I’m so happy I found this channel. I would never do this to my own phone.
5:59 Zach: burns screen
Google Pixel Fold: "Ight, imma head out"
Let's go Zack! Love your videos. They're always so much fun! I can't believe it's been 10 years of your phone testing! Keep up the good work and keep making these amazing videos! Really sad the fold cracked, but I'm glad you showcased the issues and hopefully with the next generation we get some improvements!
Watching this from my pixel fold was terrifying 😂
I hope it's not too late for you to get a refund
@@joshsmith7521 extremely happy with the device. No plans to return!

@@AndrewNorton89Exactly! These videos make me laugh. as if these were the real conditions of use!🙄
This is insane test, but entertaining to watch! Liked and Subscribed, thanks for the video
Great video Jerry as always.
I would love to have just the front size of this fold. Seems to be ideal size. Actually looks a bit like S23.
I don't understand why anyone would like this form factor. No phone has ever had that form factor and people have never complained that their phones were "too narrow"...because they weren't. Google just made their Pixel Fold ridiculously wide for no reason and are calling it "a normal smart phone experience" when nothing about that width is normal.
It's almost as wide as a Z Fold 4 using a thick case with S Pen holder on the side!
If you put a good case on the Pixel Fold, it's basically guaranteed that the side ends of the phone are sticking out/up from inside your pocket when sitting down. Width is the most uncomfortable metric in regards to form factor when it comes to pockets.
And for what? The extra width doesn't even do anything, really. Meanwhile the unusually short hight means you'll spend more time scrolling on many apps. There's a reason there are no square phones...width and hight have different values.
Like, I'm honestly curious. What do people like you enjoy about a phone that's unusually short and unusually wide?
@@bexclue3007 Well, I was not really referring to the wideness rather than compactness. But that the front display just looks cool. iPhone Mini is nice compact but it's too small. S23 I find that was the perfect sized phone (for me). Also iPhone X was good size ngl.
@@bexclue3007 I would have to disagree with you. The Samsung fold is definately too slim and I personally prefer the wider screen. I think it fits more naturally into the app ecosystem.
@@bexclue3007 I can almost say you never used a 16:9 phone. People complained back in the day when phones started to be more narrow, because it adds black bars at the sides to the video (but they keep makig phones like this until people never cared, same like headphone jack removal). Having a more rectangular shape is simply better because most of the content is made on 16:9. Now opening the foldable, and it has a more tablet shape. The other foldables looks squaerish when open. I would gladly use a wider phone, and it's the same reason i won't buy a Xperia phone because it's too narrow
@@abeld94 ayy 16:9 phone gang, samsung s7 edge here (yes, a 7 year old phone is perfectly usable).
8:50 that felt like crushing an alluminium can omg
09:25 im dying 🤣
That alliteration was brilliant!
Felt like i was watching Camelworks at 7:00
Nothing like getting a head start on the tear down while doing the durability test 👍
Loved the Dbrand stand
ty Jerry!, Ig No need for part 2 "phone disassembly".
I had my galaxy s8 for ~5 years and it had the same heat shutoff feature, only encountered it a couple of times (usually when I was on a hike taking pictures in the summer) Calgary, AB can get really hot, but not very often.
I suspect that you just happened to find a temp sensor, likely the external one.
@@EnyoStudio Ha that's stinkin adorable they had that feature way back when. I recall the s6 had something similar, but I don't recall further than that. But yes, stinking adorable "Help! Hot!"
@@EnyoStudioiPhones crying for help made my day
Also Calgarian here.... My note 10+ complained about the heat inside my car a few days ago... Surprised me, because I thought the combo of silly-dark tint and the car being off would have kept things realistic.. Apparently not.... Didn't turn off, but it SERIOUSLY throttle everything back until it cooled back down...
Well, phone shutting off due to heat is normal for us here in Malaysia. Perch one on the dashboard phone holder, and if your AC does not reach it, the phone will scream its lungs out and shut down. Anyway, anybody has issues with Apple CarPlay? Especially in late car models?
you had an S8 that lasted 5 years? i’m impressed
Thoroughly enjoyed the in-depth analysis of the Pixel Fold! Your durability tests are always insightful. Very curious about the hinge design, can't wait for it.
Phenomenal vocabulary in the folding phone dust testing bit.
6:09 seems to be a protective shutdown when your components turn very hot like in PC, probably you hit the chipsets.
At this point I would think companies would pay you to do this test BEFORE they release the final version
I'm pretty sure that happened once. The LG G6, I think
Well analyzing structural weak spots can't be that difficult. They left the antenna line there by choice. Probably on the safe assumption most people would close the phone before setting it anywhere, and even if someone sat on it while open, you'd need to get pretty unlucky to get it to snap like that.
From the looks of it, to break the phone, you'd need to set it open face down on a soft surface, and full-force sit on it. If it's on a hard surface it wouldn't bend enough to break. And if you just sit down and jump off as soon as you feel something on your ass, you probably won't bend it enough to snap it either.
It still sucks that the phone failed. But if I was in the market for a folding phone, I wouldn't consider this test results a deal breaker. And the phone's resistance to dust was bloody impressive too.
They already do these tests. They don't care about a random guy on UA-cam trying, and obviously, managing to destroy a phone by doing everything you shouldn't do.
He doesn't want that... That wouldn't enable him to rag on Google as much.
8:43 one piece? one piece is real?
Informative and entertaining. Nice work!
Zack, you're a riot, as always. This one got more brutal to watch by the second. 😆😆 I like the form factor, too, but I'm sure I won't be purchasing a Pixel Fold anytime soon. Up next for me should be the Z Flip 5, on 7/26....already have the reservation in.
as a user of Surface Duo i am really glad to see this aspect ratio of the screen - its fantastic! bad thing the pixel fold itself isnt.. but i wish this trend of 4:3 and 3:2 screens will continue and we will get some good foldable device!
It would've been interesting to see the bend test on the phone while folded (since that's how it would be in a pocket.)
It would probably be extremely stable, since there are two slabs supporting each other
OMG your Fold themed string of words that start with the letter F gave me V for Vendetta vibes. Exceptionally done! :)
6:46 Jerry's alliteration caught me off guard 🤣🙆🏾♂️
The dust test was the one I was nervous about but it looks like it's fine with that. No one's gonna fold the phone backwards on itself but I think the hinge being next to the screen and not under it allows it to just keep going around.
And apply so much pressure that your hands are visibly vibrating.
Can be sat on and there goes the phone 🤷♂️
@@HatArmor in fairness he did this to every folding samsung phone and none of them broke. the reason the pixel broke is that the when the phone is unfolded the edges of the screen where the hinge is do not meet. on the samsungs they meet in the middle and completely cover the hinge meaning the pressure of bending it any further is resisted by the edges of the two halves. (source: me, i have a fold 3) The pixel has a gap so theres room to flex it further than it should be flexed. check out his durability test for the fold 3 to see the difference.
however these videos are there to show you the durability under extremes. Though i would be worried about maybe sitting on the phone after leaving it on the couch and not realising it was there. that might be an issue.
@@lifewithbreion1392 i think it has a better chance when being sat on, because the pressure would be applied more evenly and also be protected by the seat in a sense (the small weak points of the phone would be less likely to be affected)
also, it's probably gonna be folded anyway if you're sitting on it
I usually fall asleep with my fold3 in hands, wake up and find out I ended up rolling over it all night. The phone still works Flawlessly after 2 years of abuse. Looks like Google version of foldables won't handle that accidental pressure when on beds or on top of soft materials, facing down.
Why did I shout, "Don't do it!" When you poured sand on the phone? Loving mine so far.
Lol same, watching this on my fold made me sweat

Kinda sounds like the ultra durable hinge on this phone.

I skip it every time, literally sends shivers down my spine
I'll never buy a new phone without sd card slot. There's no reason to not have one.

You just gotta love Jerry
6:00 Hey look that's exactly like my Pixel 6 Pro when im using it in my car on a dashboard as my navigation.
I love it when it overheats and turns itself off while im in an unknown city or when im driving on a highway. Bonus points for forcefully turning on dark mode.
turning on dark mode will help with battery, making your phone less hot
Watching this video with pleasure through my Z Fold 3 😂 btw, one thing that I believe it also helped Google's phone not withstand the pressure backwards, it is its wider lenght, which helps creating more grip for Zack's hands and the distribution of force is larger as well.
Slightly more leverage from the extra length
Am i the only one got shiver or goosebump on jerry videos? 😂😂😂
That scratch thing tho
