The Google Pixel Fold is exactly what Pixel superfans have been waiting for, even if Google weirdly skimped on some specs and features.

Been a fold user since the launch of fold3. Currently using fold4. I love the tech and the big screen

[@Tater1722]

Just a heads up for the selfies on the outer display. You can use the volume buttons for the shutter.. good initial review!

[@gleebeevonkordke2068]

If you close the phones, most of the time is because you are finishing working on it, so it make sense. There is no reason to switch between inside and outside screens IMO. But configuration should be available.

The Pixel Fold is Already King of Foldables in my opinion if you care about Better Cameras, Clearer display somehow, and a Book set up with the inner Screen. Plus Android works better on a Google phone. That's all the main things that matter. Now Z Fold 5 will be King if you care about S Pen, Excessive Multitasking that your average customer won't use, and a inner display with no bezels. The Pixel Fold Flaws are only in the beginning. It for very hot day 1 but after that it adjust and doesn't get hot no more, the fold opens up all the way just a hair away from all the way but so does the Z Fold 4. Unless there are a few defective devices out but mines is Perfect. I had the Z Fold 2, Z Fold 3, & Z Fold 4 and taking photos on the Pixel Fold you instantly know it's a Superior Camera.

I keep hearing about the screen brightness issue and idk, I was at the lake near me on saturday, with my iPhone 14 PM and I was using it a few times at max brightness and could also barely see its display, and this is my only point of comparison. Tbf though, I am hardly ever outside to begin with.

didn't LG have a duel screen phone a few years ago that look very much like the fold

[@rusty9508]

Pixel fold is one of the best pieces of technology I've ever had. Don't listen to the negative comments and it's also miles better than the Samsung phone.

[@bigdrews4360]

Have u had the Z fold and do you like pixel fold better?

[@Mcdoogle-vo1um]

I feel like complaining about not being able to do more than 2 apps is pretty first world like “oh no I can’t do 3 apps at once” not saying you’re like that but from what I’ve seen from other videos they make it seem like such a big deal when it’s not

[@demarcuscuzo]

Nice stuff Kerry. A lot of good pointers and not 15+ minutes long. Would you recommend the Pixel Fold or Samsung Z Fold5?

[@RealAaron317]

Great review the pixel fold is an amazing phone yes it is but it's not the best foldable that's still the Galaxy Fold 4 and when the 5 comes out it's gonna be even better. Users are only saying it's better cause of the front screen and yes it has a better front screen but the galaxy fold does so much more better and takes advantage of it as a foldable phone. The fold can also summon multi-window with a 2 finger swipe from the edge on top of the taskbar and multitasking page methods.

[@omarnieves2030]

That's goofy fold 4 and 5 def better

[@jrwagh333]

Why does this look like it's dubbed in English.
