The Pixel Fold Durability Issues and a Possible Solution

  • The Pixel Fold is one of the most exciting foldable smartphones, but it’s also one of the most likely to break.
  • Accidental damage and the ability to bend too far are two of the biggest issues.
  • Google may need to redesign the device in order to fix the durability issues.

The Pixel Fold is a foldable smartphone that has been on the market for several weeks now, but it’s already had its fair share of problems. Early reviewers and buyers have reported accidental damage to the display, as well as the alarming discovery that the phone can accidentally unfold too far and be catastrophically bent.

YouTuber _JerryRigEverything_ was able to provide some answers with a teardown of the Pixel Fold. It turns out that the durable hinge that Google advertises is made of stainless steel, but the frame is made of aluminum, which isn’t sturdy enough to prevent bending. Google’s compromises were necessary to make the phone thinner and lighter than other foldables, but it may not be enough to protect it from accidental damage.

The good news is that Google may not need to fix these issues with the current Pixel Fold, but instead make changes to the design of the Pixel Fold 2. In the meantime, Samsung and Oppo will soon be releasing their own foldable phones, and those interested can still check out the Pixel Fold teardown.
