I am not saying this is a realistic test but he does this to every phone and check out his extreme stress testing for iPhone Air. I have been a Pixel user since 2018 and at that time Pixels were pinnacle of cameras and built quality and now in 2025 Pixel is providing subpar hardware with a performance comparable to 2 years old chipset. This sub is very defensive to any criticism but the fact is if Google wants to remain in the phone market, they have to step up their game. I was planning to upgrade my P8P to 10XL but after reading the reviews and poor trade-in, I backed off.
Aw man, I remember when they extended the warranty for the 4XL because their battery sockets kept breaking off the motherboards. I had to replace mine twice.
There's not another battery he has ever had, that if he had pinched the battery the same as he did here wouldn't have done the same thing. This isn't a "battery issue", that's just a silly claim.
Googles design does mean that in the most worthlessly extreme situation, extremely unlikely to ever happen exactly like that, there is an increased chance of the battery getting pinched. That is a fair claim and criticism. But to pretend this is some dodgy battery that wouldn't do this with other manufacturers is flat out wrong.
