There's nothing like getting your product problem exposed on a channel with 9+ million subscribers...

7:20 for anyone who just wants to see the failure. I have to respect someone committed to the content: Not only does he flip it with his bare hands while it's still sizzling, he makes sure to hover over it while the plume of battery smoke wafts up lol.

While his durability test seemed quite extreme, including things like holding a lighter to the display, the test that made it explode was basically “bend it past 180 degrees like a 2-in-1 laptop”

I haven’t personally used a folding phone, but he was able to break it with his bare hands. I’d expect that from a laptop, but less so from a phone. I put my laptop in a padded laptop bag. I put my phone in my pocket, and sometimes sit on it without issues. JerryRigEverything mentioned the previous pixel folds all broke in the same test in the same spot, along the antenna.

It’s a crazy contrast to Apple, considering how much Apple advertised “titanium” in their phones.

The Samsung Z Fold 7 fares better. He's able to bend it back, but unable to cause it to crack by bending it backwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hgg4YEdPak

Not sure if I see the point of using a craft knife to scratch the case though. Nor the point of using a lighter to kill pixels on the screen. More for the sheer horror of it than anything.

The Iphone air couldn't be broken by hand either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ56ve39l2I
