The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold just failed a durability test to a ‘catastrophic’ extent

• The Google Pixel 10's battery started smoking during a durability test
• The phone also snapped at a weak antenna line
• And it failed to demonstrate its claimed dust resistance

The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is – among other things – sold on being durable. It's the first foldable with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and Google claims that it can survive up to ten years of folding. But despite these supposed merits, the 10 Pro Fold has just performed extremely poorly in a durability test.
