A review unit of the Google Pixel Fold failed after just four days of use, with the display breaking down and a white gradient growing across the screen. The issue appears to be caused by debris entering a small exposed strip of the OLED panel not protected by film or flexible ultra-thin glass.

The incident raises concerns about the robustness of foldable displays, which are designed to be flexible and not as thick or strong as glass covering regular smartphones.
