Watch a Google Pixel 10 Pro explode as JerryRigEverything stress tests it

Google’s latest smartphone might not respond well to stress testing.

In a new video on the popular JerryRigEverything tech YouTube channel, host Zack Nelson put the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold through its paces. In the video, he spends a bunch of time bending the phone to extreme degrees to test out its durability, doing things to it that no normal person would ever do on purpose. That’s an important bit of context, because near the end of the video, he bends the phone a little too much and the battery quite literally goes up in smoke, leaving the phone as a smoldering paperweight on the testing table.

Nelson said that this is actually the first time a phone has straight up exploded on him during testing — after a decade of testing devices. He does the same things to every phone he tests, so it’s not like he treated the Pixel 10 Pro Fold worse than other devices. In fairness to Google, Elizabeth Chamberlain of iFixIt told The Verge that this isn’t necessarily a sign that something is wrong with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It’s possible that Nelson didn’t discharge enough battery out of the box before putting the phone through its paces, per Chamberlain.

Regardless, if you’re Google, you probably don’t want a newly released phone exploding live on camera.
