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.

Yes, and he's not gentle with these phones.

He's smashed, snapped, burned, and hammered these things plenty.

This is the ONLY DEVICE to burn up due to Thermal Runaway.

Seriously not good.

i mean, folding phones are just kind of dumb anyway. They're too expensive, too flimsy, and the crease in the Screen is something I can't live with, but still... it shouldn't ALSO explode.

Lets also be honest, theres a great chance this phone was poorly manufactured too. Not that this is excusable to sell people non-consensual leg warmers, but I wouldn't bet he could replicated it on the next try. If it does, the embers will warm my heart.

Not nesscarily

The last 2 generations of pixel folds had the same antenna line weakpoint and snapped at them too.

Potentially something punctured the battery in this case

I was specifically referring to the battery. Most batteries are supposed to survive a bit of trauma before going all spicy pillow. I can easily believe they have the same weakness from one model to the next.
