Next month: I Switched to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra... (HONEST Review)

[@Brian_Lau]

Lol, I'm dying 😂

[@eveylopez6742]

Guess he was lying in the other reviews. LMFAO

[@growwithanshuman]

everything is for views

[@_Kelvin_Kimani]

😂😂 this is work like any other job y’all 😊

[@Johiruldeen459]

Anything about them is never honest except for the honest thumbnail

[@flyingpj]

You’re the first reviewer I’ve seen say they like the outer and inner display having the same app layout. Everyone else would complain about it and I never understood why it bothered them so much. Your explanation of your organization makes complete sense and it’s how I also would arrange apps. I’ve been heavily considering switching from iPhone to this foldable and I think you’ve convinced me now!

[@jonvaliagas]

Don't get me wrong, customization and having more of it is nice. but to be honest, setting up a foldable can be a pain. And having everything done once, vs. having to do it twice is so much better (for me) and a reason why I like the Pixel experience on the Fold! :)

[@peoplesactionsnottheirword8760]

The complaint is that the option to change it does not exist

[@Synchrojikan]

I also prefer having them both be the same, but the option should definitely be there.

[@GlobalEnglishwithTanvi739]

Watching it from a pixel 9 pro fold now, I agree with all you said!!

[@J.B-is8fb]

Can you make a video comparing the iPad mini to the Pixel 9 pro fold? Basically the benefits and downsides or each? I have an iPhone and like the idea of a foldable, yet the price and durability concerns hold me back. Not to mention an iPad mini is literally a third of the cost of a foldable in the US.

[@CoachD77]

Damn, I want this so bad but I'm enjoying my P9P so much as well. Maybe in a few months. Nice update as always !!

[@jonvaliagas]

Thank you :) the pixel 9 pro is so so good though I didn't think anything would take me away from it.

[@chasrifflord]

Happy New Year, and I'm glad you're enjoying the Pixel 9 Pro fold 🎆

[@jonvaliagas]

Happy new year! Thanks for watching through and I know! It's so good!

[@abrahamroberts2040]

My favorite phone of 2024. Google is on the right track - I hope they go all the way with the next iteration. Thinner cover display bezels with more screen, lighter build, more colors, much faster charging, flagship cameras and improved multi-tasking software.

[@lardi_g]

🎆 great Video, I just switched today to the Fold 9 pro today as my main device. It's just such a nice device to hold and work with. i love it!

[@T3CHGY007]

I myself have been eyeing this device! Right now I have 2 phones, one being a pixel 8, which I love the software and battery on, and off course a tablet! This would replace all those devices! Waiting to see what the new fold 7 will be as well!

[@jonvaliagas]

It's so good, and same, very curious about samsungs foldable. If it somehow keeps the same aspect ratio its a no go for me though.

[@kramdens1967]

looking forward to updates on this video!

[@Rventris]

Right there with ya, I am most certainly loving the pixel 9 pro fold in my hand 😀 I also agree that some more customization options would be nice. Specifically I feel it would be nice if the aspect ratio settings for each app could be set for each screen and allowed custom values such as changing app height. Simply because some games go full screen without hiding the nav and notification bars, others automatically draw between the bars. Something to force the screen space used Is what I'm getting at I guess 😆

[@DinoRodriguez]

🎆🎆🎆 Sincere, realistic and objective commentary ... please keep up the great work!!!!

[@jonvaliagas]

Thank you! :) and thanks for watching through!

[@snarlz]

i have a 9 Pro Fold. I love it. They have 2 part cases no adhesive required. I own 2 of them.

[@smperl0c0]

What are the cases?

[@snarlz]

@smperl0c0 sorry posted to the wrong thread hang on I'll get you search terms

[@snarlz]

@@smperl0c0 and search ”Case For Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Hybrid Stand Cover With Stylus Screen Protector” those should get you the cases.

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

⁠your not quick 😂

[@snarlz]

I just got to the end of video, idk why but the google brnded charger from my old Pixel Chrome Slate charges the phone pretty quickly. Honestly other than that and the case, you gave a great video that stated my thoughts about the phone myself. My tablet is gathering dust on my desk!

[@simmysharma6845]

happy new year friend 👍😊. keep growing 🎉

[@Jasonfry15]

I like my profold. I just wish I could have different home layouts open and closed like the fold 6. Just give the option. I've really enjoyed everything about the fold. I don't feel like I'm compromising as much as some of the other foldables in the us.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

What about fast charging? How good is it?

[@maxkoglin689]

Debating on getting a p9pf but is it worth waiting for possibly a new one dropping during the year....

[@djjf45]

Can you take a selfie with the main camera, and use the cover screen as a camera monitor to see if you're in frame? It's the only reason I would use a fold, since selfie cameras suck.

[@timimarajh]

amazing work bro but is posble get ur wallpaper i love this one

[@danielarmstrong2144]

you know you can change the galaxy fold's inner homescreen to be the same as the pixels (ie, with the outer screen being just page 1 on the left etc) with a toggle in the settings, right?

[@RichEmbury]

Also enjoy the P9PF moving over from Samsung Fold 4, which I used for 2yrs. I do miss a lot of the Samsung extras for tweaking (Good Lock), most notably sound assistant and separate app volumes, and Samsungs much better multitasking options (popups that you can minimize to bubbles). That being said, the Pixel fold just feels nice in the hands, the full sized front screen. I also dont like Samsung's separate screens for fold/unfold..abd that narrow unusable front screen. Looking forward to the Vegas stuff. And yes 3000$ w/taxes for the 512gb version in Canada is highway robbery without top of the line everything and no extras in the box (like a case). It should at minimum have a free case to protect a 3000$ foldable? I shouldnt have to spend another $100 to do so.

[@Sidh_techOfficial]

Do you need graphic designer for thumbnail editing

[@Chuchin619]

Been using it for a week now, love using it

[@ungr12pixels46]

This is a very good, clear and precise video.

[@TwoTone33]

Im in the process of returning my samsung fold after just 1 day use of it, I just find the samsung fold front screen is a little to small for me I dont want to have to open it up everytime I message someone cause the front is to small. I wish I would have gotten the google fold 9 instead cause I am a iphone user I just went back to my iphone 14 pro max until I figure out if I want this google phone or not, I just wanted a foldable phone and plus you really have to decide because the samsung phone is like 1,900 thats alot for a phone and the google phone looks more like my iphone I like my iphone 14 pro max cause I use the front alot but when I watch youtube and twtich making it bigger is better. Anyways is the battery good on the google phone?

[@spartacus1979at]

Does whatsapp support the half screen mode so I can use the bigger keyboard on the bottom half and have the chat on the upper half?

[@madrat5176]

Great phone, but I've got to give the edge to the OnePlus Open

[@rohiin]

Waiting for the oneplus open 2 ❤🎉

[@Shauryaaya]

cameras are shit on that thing

[@madrat5176]

@@Shauryaaya They’ve been great on mine in, day or night 👍

[@Shauryaaya]

@@madrat5176 I used that fold for a day, my friend bought it and offered me the device since I was with him all the day and he didn't want to bother with shifting the data then and there... I used the cameras and it was considerably worse than my pixel 8... and even my 7a felt a bit superior in terms of photos. The phone was quite heavy too... the cameras were something I wouldn't rely on tbh.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

​@@ShauryaayaAll foldable phones are, that's nothing new, lmao.

[@pd1664]

Hey, so wich foldable has been the goat? Oneplus? Did you try honor v2 v3? Peace!

[@HMZ991]

For me foldable replace a mini tablet so i do not need to carry 2 devices. And android tablet is usually weaker than mobile counter part unlike ipads. Hopefully pixel up their hardware game for Pixel 10 which supposedly going to have big changes.

[@noreply3904]

I have a Pixel 7 Pro today and i cant descide if i want 9 pro XL or the fold model

[@Pixels-xm4sm]

I just bought this right now, I hope it was a good idea got it for 1600 usd , thoughts?

[@KianFloppa]

google pixel best

[@kavinab6629]

Im confused because you can have samsunf fold series mirror the homescreen on both the inner and outer display

[@rayyfendi]

You can have dual wallpapers.

[@funkylosik]

i was thinking - what a nice content, but why is it looking like a slideshow. The closer look revealed 24fps. Smoother 30fps ftw, consider it ;)

I'm going to keep holding out in hopes of a Pixel Flip

[@BigJeffroeX438]

Since you stated you use social media for a living, how do you leverage to make money?

[@stephenmcgrew5448]

I've been an iPhone user for a long time but am looking to make a switch. I really appreciate your video. I'm seriously considering this phone for productivity.

[@GallagherChristie]

Camera is just not ok with me. I had OnePlus open, fold 4 and I'm.just done with them. The cameras suffer greatly. I'm using pixel pro xl now, I want to like the fold pro but until a foldable comes out with the top of the line cameras I'm not supporting them at this price.

[@ronaldmjmr]

Nice video and phone... Loved it. 😍 The word Honest may let people know that there might be other videos that are not honest. I do not think that word is necessary in the title.... That is just my perception! Keep up the good work!

[@Superman-xr1oh]

What a goofy thing to complain about, lol.

[@Kjk-lb1ox]

How do all the reviewers house two phones? Can the same phone number be used on two phones?

[@vin.k.k]

I hope reviewers stop tagging "Honest Review" in every video review they make. It has the opposite effect.

[@rohiin]

7.5w wireless charging ruins it for me.. Even my z fold6 got 15w, oneplus open 2 50w..

[@Prince_Sidon]

I've been using folding phones for a couple years now ; and would 100% switch to this one if it had: -thin bezels -Sharp corners (not rounded) -Snapdragon SoC, the latest -Faster charging (wired esp.) -One UI (for foldables) One thing that gets me off Pixel phones is the stock PIXEL UI. It's horrendous.

You can't have everything. You have to make a compromise somewhere.

I switched from honor magic v3 at pixel 9 ! I'm a paradise software now

[@Antoinemalone]

Lol I love the Chinese phones on some aspects but I can't do that software. It's just not it 😂 Love the pixels. They won't charge as fast and Chinese phones have a few other features over pixels, but they are still all around a better phone than Chinese ones.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

The Chinese phone have better hardware and screen size. Software can be fixed, hardware can't.

[@Antoinemalone]

@@Superman-xr1oh idk. I have a Xiaomi and pixel and had them both about a year and a half. Pixel still looks brand new, Xiaomi looks beat up, screen is peeling and breaking and I treat them both the same, even use the Pixel way more as it's my main phone.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

@@Antoinemalone I just wish Samsung and Google would start adopting the hardware that these Chinese companies are using. They're lagging behind. Like fast charging for instance. Why do the Fold 6 and Pixel Pro 9 Fold both have slow charging when the Chinese companies use much faster charging on their foldables?

[@Voltar78]

Good content.

[@johnmurphy3319]

No one needs this. Think about it. Too much bulk. This is legit a hobby phone if you have the money. I rather buy a drone.

[@helterskelzer3883]

The processor, software and front display quality isn't good enough for a foldable

Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@SoYoung24]

Honestly I still don’t see the point or utility of a foldable phone unless you don’t use computers at all and your phone is the only « computing » device you have so you want a bigger screen sometimes. In my case I stillluse my phone as an utility device when I need it so there’s nothing I really want on a foldable phone.
