Blogger JerryRigEverything tested the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold smartphone for durability in his signature way.
Testing showed that the screen with protection Gorilla Glass Victus 2 starts scratching with a tool at level 6 on the hardness scale, and the internal display with Ultra Thin Glass technology — tool with level 2.
The body of the phone is made of aluminum alloy, and the assembly mechanism — from multilayer steel. However, when it comes into contact with dirt and sand, the mechanism starts to squeak due to the lack of dust protection.

But when trying to bend the device in its open form, the shortcomings became obvious: the rear panels on the left and right do not provide adequate resistance.
The problem, as it turned out, is related to the antenna in the area of the folding mechanism. During the test, the display detached from the case, although the mechanism itself remained intact.
Further, the blogger disassembled the smartphone, showing its insides.
