One, I don't want to have to rotate my phone every time I open it. Two, it is so close to square that it still doesn't really hit the tablet feel as well as the original.

@@scaryifliteral I have the og fold and I am constantly rotating my phone to get the view to be better for most applications. Even Instagram and reddit just look better in a letter format. I really only like the aspect ratio of the og fold when viewing media or when using two apps side by side. I think, since most apps are designed for a letter format, it makes more sense to have the aspect ratio in letter when you unfold it instead of landscape. When you need landscape, rotating a phone shouldn't be too difficult. I feel like I'd have to rotate the p9pf less in its native orientation but media will always look better in landscape which can be achieved by just rotating the device.

I'll think on that one.

iirc, either thinborn or pitaka

I need to check back in with that launcher, when I tried it a while back I found it to be incredibly unintuitive.

I have all three and prefer the Pixel. It's okay to have a different opinion, it's really silly to say that anyone who doesn't agree with you isn't informed though.

Probably not

It's got the best screen on foldables currently in terms of colour, readability, brightness and accuracy. What? Also the software optimisation works great with the chip. The crease is barely noticeable when looking at it, too. Oh and the bezels are the same as the Honor Magic V3 so...Not really an issue bar maybe the front screen? Maybe? I agree the price is too high though.

I've felt the same way, since first seeing it. It looks like a worse open to me. It's not as refined, visually, to my eye. For me, the most important thing is multitasking, though. I use 3 apps at the same time regularly for various reasons and for an 1800 dollar second gen foldable only being able to do split screen, is actually ridiculous. I disagree with Shane so much on this. 😂 The fact that it costs as much as the top end options and doesn't have at least parity with its competitors is crazy. I don't care if most people only need 2 apps split screen. It can't do what its competitors can and it costs as much or more! The software Google is offering just doesn't mean as much to me, personally, as open canvas or hell, even one ui. I personally think the way Samsung handles 3 apps doesn't make sense because 2 are basically unusable, they're so squished. Open canvas makes way more sense on a traditional foldable setup. If you had a tri-fold with an actual tablet sized screen, then it wouldn't matter as much.

Sure, if you leave out the good stuff lol. Lots to like about the Open. Faster charging, Open Canvas, floating windows, less visible crease.. Besides floating windows and Canvas, Pixel takes software in every conceivable way for me. Assistant typing, Now Playing, Grammar Check, secure Face Unlock, Circle to Search, Magic Editor, Call Screening, etc, etc. Heck, general look and feel of the UI. Chinese ROMs always feel so sterilized to me. Pixels feel homey. Camera is more consistent, battery life has been a wash, Qi is nice to get back, Open screens should be bright, but they just aren't. (Z Fold 6 is brightest, which is weird lol). At the end of the day, both phones are tremendous. I just don't think it's helpful to strawman things like this. Things are a lot more nuanced than that.

That isn't real

They're pretty similar

@@scaryifliteral Maybe I need a new Pixel fold first gen then cuz the speakers are so much quieter than my 9 pro fold. Must be just my phone because my 9 pro fold is more comparable to my 8 pro than my fold.

It's from Pitaka. I think that issue is more to do with the placement than strength.

@@scaryifliteral Thanks! If it's the placement, that's a shame, as the "correct" placement for charging is the problem area for accessories.

I'm okay to switch to regular form factor, but I don't think I can deal with the bump shape, everything else on the 9 fold is not bad at all

Pixel

You are asking a Pixel fan which phone he would prefer?😅😅😅😅😅

Between those two, I would pick the Fold. But that's just me.
