Google’s new generation folding phone, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, has enhanced the protection of the inner and outer screens and back cover this time, and the hinges have also been redesigned. Officials claim that the overall durability is three times greater than the previous generation. However, how durable is the new phone? YouTuber JerryRigEverything, known for his violent teardown tests, now has the answer.
It is said that the durability is increased by 3 times. Violent testing directly verifies the authenticity.
JerryRigEverything’s signature violent tests have always included levels such as scraping the screen and body with a blade, burning the screen directly with a lighter, and bending the phone with bare hands. Looking back at last year’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold, not only did the fuselage break directly during the bending test, but the battery was also damaged and smoking. The picture was quite shocking. So, will the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which Google claims is three times more durable, finally win back this year?

Judging from JerryRigEverything’s bending test, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold still failed to hold up in the end. The fuselage was directly broken, and the break location was the same as in past generations, at the antenna belt. It seems that although Google has strengthened the overall durability, this old problem has not been completely solved. However, the degree of damage this year is at least not as severe as last year. Although the screen panel also fell off, there were no more thrilling scenes of battery rupture and smoke coming from the fuselage. To some extent, this proves that the durability has indeed improved.
In addition, although the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is IP68 dustproof and waterproof, judging from the test results, it seems that the hinge still cannot withstand the intrusion of a large amount of sediment. Once too much sediment gets stuck, it may still cause damage.
Of course, it is almost impossible to use a mobile phone as violently as JerryRigEverything in daily use, but for consumers who are interested in buying Pixel 11 Pro Fold, they still have to be careful. After all, if a foldable mobile phone with a price of over 60,000 yuan is accidentally dropped or broken, my wallet may also feel heartbroken.
