Google’s first-gen Pixel Fold may have a few obvious (and not-so-obvious) strengths, but its structural weaknesses are impossible to ignore, as shown in a grueling new JerryRigEverything durability-testing video.
Seeing as how Google arrived several years late to the foldable party, it was certainly bold of the search giant to attach a „most durable hinge“ claim to the first-gen Pixel Fold. It was also fairly easy to predict that Zack Nelson of „JerryRigEverything“ YouTube fame would take issue with that bombastic marketing label and try his best to disprove it in a grueling new video.Surprisingly, it definitely looks like Big G’s rookie Galaxy Z Fold-rivaling effort has a strong enough hinge to survive the day-to-day pressures of „normal“ use… and then some, but unfortunately, the rest of the phone is an entirely different story.Long story short, the Pixel Fold is unnervingly easy to bend… and absolutely destroy, which may not come as a shock after early reports of damage from both reviewers and regular owners.
