Google’s decision to use aluminum to produce a thin foldable is cited in a new video as the reason why the phone was so easy to bend.
Last week we told you about the first JerryRigEverything video on the Pixel Fold which showed how easy the device is to bend. The internal screen is vulnerable to getting scratched by fingernails, keys, and coins thanks to the protective plastic surface. But that was the first JerryRigEverything video about durability. Now, Zack Nelson, the tech reviewer behind the videos, released his teardown of the Pixel Fold and the video shows us where Google might have taken a wrong turn with its first foldable device.One of the reasons why the Pixel Fold folded up so easily has to do with the material that Google used in the construction of the Pixel Fold’s frame. Instead of using stainless steel, Google turned to aluminum to make the Pixel Fold as thin as possible.
