Several videos and images purportedly showing ‍exploding and burning Pixel 10 Pro Folds circulated⁣ online, further fueling ⁣the ⁢controversy.

While Google has not officially confirmed the extent of these issues, the company has ⁤acknowledged receiving ⁢reports of overheating and stated they are investigating the⁣ matter. As of⁣ December ⁤31, 2025, a⁤ formal recall has not been issued.

Historical Context and ⁣Previous ⁢Pixel Issues

This isn’t the‌ first time Google Pixel phones have faced durability concerns. Previous models, including the Pixel 4 and Pixel⁤ 5, were criticized for various hardware issues. However, ⁢the severity⁣ and⁢ frequency of reports surrounding the Pixel ‍10 Pro Fold appear‍ to ⁣be significantly higher.

Given the history, ​this is not at all surprising.
