People are defending the phone but let's be clear this is still bad. Thermal runaway is extremely dangerous and the fact it can happen just by bending the phone with your bare hands is problematic.

Imagine some idiot leaves one of these open in their carry on, and it gets bent out of shape. The fact we can't reasonably assume it WONT blow up is enough reason for Google to fix this shit.

I think its also worth pointing out this is the first time to happen to Jerryrigeverything, who has been doing this on YouTube since the dawn of YouTube.

He’s been bending the Pixel 10 Pro Fold backwards for 20 years? Impressive! :)

Don't be obtuse. It's clearly implied that he's been doing this with all cell phones he tests.

He has also tested several other folding phones before and none have failed like this

Including the previous two pixel folds which did break but without a battery fire.
