About two weeks ago, a prominent You Tube channel subjected the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 to a rigorous durability test. Now, the same reviewer has put the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold through an identical evaluation.

He starts with his usual scratch tests on the device, followed immediately by the flame test. He then pours loose sand and grit over the foldable screen and hinge area. Finally, he performs the bend test on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, demonstrating that Google made the same design mistake for the fourth time in a row.

As documented, the device cracked along both antenna lines just like the previous three foldables from Google. However, this time, the glass panel also came completely off during the stress test.

You can watch the full video below to see exactly why that happened and whether the new model will meet the same fate as the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which notably went up in smoke by the end of its extensive durability test.
