In a durability and bend test by JerryRigEverything, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s hinge remains strong, while the Ultra Thin Glass inner display scratches easily, even with fingernails. The aerospace-grade aluminum exterior and steel hinge add durability, but the device lacks dust protection, leading to hinge grinding when exposed to debris. The Pixel Fold survives a closed bend test, but the cover screen pops off during an open bend, though the hinge remains intact. Unlike Samsung’s Z Fold 6, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold shows more bending issues. A teardown reveals a split battery design, improved repairability, and heat dissipation challenges due to the plastic folding screen.
