The phone turned off during the burn test because the flame was exactly above the SOC and the phone thought that the processor was heating up

[yejoonstech]

So based on my comment from your durability test video, it looks like when you did the burn test, the flame was right over the part of the screen where the copper heat pipe was underneath. The heat from the flame transferred onto the heat pipe where it directly transferred onto the tensor chip leading to the phone feeling the abrupt change in temeprature and turning off immediately.

2:20 ! Zack is casually wiping all that sand and dust with an $1800 phone screen.🤣🤣

Love to test that battery theory Zack. But the Pixel Fold isn't available in Australia yet. But who knows maybe a busted one will show up on my desk for repair at some point...

I love the sound of torn apart foldables in the morning.

[wiseowl]

Of course corners were cut, you can clearly see that they’re rounded

"I mean, OBVIOUSLY the rest of the phone continues to rotate 360".

This fold folded more than other folders fold

[dethswurl]

I love how they gave him one of the apparently 400 review devices when they knew he would absolutely abuse it

[brickandgear]

The choice of aluminum over stainless steel could also be related to cooling. Aluminum has four times the thermal conductivity of stainless steel, so it'll keep that Tensor G2 much cooler.

I think i seen small "brush" like additions down the spine to keep the dirt out, at about 9m. I think Zack mentioned it in the durability test but it was interesting to see they could be there.

[saturnblue]

I think it's great that Jerry's able to assemble the phones again afterwards....
...most the time

[neshamlani]

Love your content zack, I really appreciate what you do and how you help all those are in need

[JonathanShook]

I suspect you missed some cam action in the spine, since the attachment points on the hinge appear to be keyed. If you look closer there, I bet you'll find something interesting.

[Mark-mupj]

The Fold certainly likes to fold in all the wrong places lol

[SammyGeek]

Made the switch from my beloved Samsung Fold 4, and LOVING it! The Pixel Fold is getting better every day for my use!

[johnnyx]

I'll be honest. This went better than expected and he was more....okay with it than I expected 🤷🏼‍♂️

[DanielPierce]

They don’t use solid blocks of aluminum, they use metal molding where the mold will have a shape similar to the finished frame that does need machining to clean up and finish the parts. It would be far too expensive and time consuming to start from a solid billet of metal, they want to machine for the shortest amount of time as possible.

Shout out to Zach for mentioning Hugh Jeffrey. That was cool.
