Pixel 10 Pro XL Survives JerryRigEverything Durability Gauntlet

The findings corroborate Google's materials claims, including Gorilla Glass Victus 2, an aluminum frame, plus Qi2 magnets.

Overview

  • Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything published scratch, flame and bend tests on the Pixel 10 Pro XL, with the device showing no structural failure or noticeable flex.
  • The display and back glass marked at Mohs hardness level 6 with deeper grooves at 7, consistent with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 performance.
  • A 20‑second lighter flame did not harm the panel itself, though the oleophobic coating degraded, and the ultrasonic in‑display fingerprint reader continued to function after additional abrasion.
  • Hardware checks confirmed an aluminum chassis, a metal camera bar, and removable metal buttons, along with a visible Qi2 magnetic ring and an extra alignment magnet shown via viewing film.
  • GSMArena notes Google promises seven major OS updates for the model, with support projected through 2032.
