Earlier this week, the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro underwent what is now a traditional YouTube folding test and didn’t survive to tell the story, no less breaking in half. This is a similar story to what happened to the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate last year, so it’s not overly surprising, but nonetheless: most phones that pass the same folding test survive.

So what does it give? Why did the ROG Phone 6 Pro give way? This is what today’s teardown video wants to explore, while also giving us a look inside the phone.

The thing that stands out the most is a strange hole in the middle of the phone, which represents a transition from the rear glass to the vapor chamber below the screen. This is likely a way to let the heat out and not much else, although it definitely can’t help add structural integrity to the center of the phone, where it needs it most. The motherboard is stacked and the thermal paste is blue. The two batteries are connected to each other by a permanent tape.
