About two weeks ago, Zack from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything subjected the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 to a durability test. Now, he’s put the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold through one too.

Zack starts with his usual scratch tests on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, followed by the flame test. He then pours sand and grit over the foldable.

Finally, Zack performs the bend test on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, showing Google made the same design mistake for the fourth time in a row, as the Pixel 11 Pro Fold cracked along both antenna lines like the previous three foldables from Google.

Fine, then try to open a door in the wrong direction and push. Try to shift to R with your car when you are going forward... Dude, before you sentence someone has problems, check if you are working as intended
