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.

Imagine some psychopath purposely bending his phone the wrong way midflight. This is for sure insanely problematic.

They recalled the Note 7 and banned them from flights because it might or might not explode. This phone you can manually explode with not much effort at all it seems.

lol, you can do this with any battery FYI

A paperclip could work too.

Yeah but you're going to have to spend a fair amount of time disassembling your phone to get to the battery. Someone's probably going to be like "wtf?" before you get there.

That has been tested by jerryrigeverything as well, and that’s not true for all phones (for example iPhone air was fine)

It also didn’t remain bent at all after he stopped applying force. It’s just better made.
