The pixel phone is the first one I would consider. I like that it focuses more on the main screen than the folded screen. Because I only ever consider folding phones during the 10% of the time that I’m using my iPhone and feel like I want just a little more real estate for pictures or videos or something else like that. So I like the Google pixel is a normal phone until you want more real estate as opposed to the Samsung, which has a very tall and skinny shape… Of course, I don’t know if I can replace my iPhone with an android. Nothing against android, I’m just in an ecosystem. The bezels don’t bother me. It allows the phone hinge to close completely, I don’t mind the bigger bezels.

Yeah, I mean, the phone does get toasty. I just got mine ($500 on eBay, almost brand new) but given I already had a 7a, I was expecting that. It actually runs smoother than that device and is a great alternative if I want that Google photography but in a foldable. Still getting used to the heft though. Went away from the ultras with Samsung to foldables because of that. The fold 6 and OnePlus open are now light enough to feel almost normal folded and very maneuverable when unfolded. I'm sure the pixel 9 pro fold feels light when unfolded given the sheer square footage but Google is playing from behind on the weight front. Thank goodness the pixel fold has super premium build quality because otherwise, that weight would be VERY hard to justify

With regard to the under-display FP sensor, it adds costs as you will need one on each display, rather than one on the side as Google and Samsung do. These are expensive enough without further costs especially as ultrasonic licences from Qualcomm are not cheap. I am not bothered by the black sidebars on apps like Twitter and Instagram. I know some people get very upset, but even with the bars the apps are larger than on the front display and offer a better-optimised look as they are designed for phones. The black bars mean less battery consumption. I find that better than stretching the phone apps like Samsung does which looks unrefined. Of course, we all want tablet apps, but Samsung's stretch solution is not that. The Pixel Fold is far from perfect and is very expensive. You can nitpick easily but the sum of its parts far exceeds the Fold 4 for me due to the Pixel software (dictation, recorder, etc) and that front display which I found unusable on the Fold 4. If the Fold 5 had the same aspect ratio as the Pixel then the Galaxy would be a no-brainer, but that front display is a massive deal-breaker and I suspect that Samsung holding onto this design has cost them many sales. Thanks!

Hardware-wise I prefer the Fold 5. But I really wish I could have that pure, clean Android experience. There's too much bloat and too many duplicate apps with Samsung. Still, if you can get around that, I do think the Samsung Fold is a better device. Plus, Samsung was willing to give me $1200 credit for my trade in, so I only paid like $500 for the Fold 5. Now THAT'S a bargain. Maybe next year, I can trade in the Fold 5 for the Pixel Fold 2. Let's hope Google will have a good trade-in deal!

There's no "Google Advertising ID" that locks onto my web browsers with their advertising analysis and tracking. I don't use Google apps apart from their superb Google Camera app. It is in a "sandboxed" area that shuts Google out from monitoring EVERYTHING I do with the lovely camera on this phone. Mind you, the standard Graphene camera app isn't too bad, either.

I don't agree. You can do 2 apps at a time on the pixel fold as well as use picture in picture with the video streaming apps while having 2 separate apps open. The Samsung fold gives you one extra app...that's it. They both have task bars etc. So is Samsung better....yes but not by miles as your saying. They are very comparable. Also anything they are missing can easily be updated in software. You can't really fix hardware unless it's a complete new design. To be honest the s pen is the real only advantage that Samsung has and to be honest most people don't even use the spen as much as they say they do. I only used it to show off to people when demo the phone. Otherwise I was never really used. Just my 2 cents

@@chrisdpratt Nobody mentioned thinner only. They said smaller, and the vast majority mean smaller screen when they say this - which is why people will specifically also use thinner when they mean thinner talking about phones.

The best Google Fold review I’ve seen! Thank you! I can’t wait to get mine this week! Having used so many devices I hope the pixel fold will meet all my needs (which I think it will). The Z fold 4 came close, but, much like you stated the outer display drove me crazy. :)

What are you getting? After the initial learning phase and now on Android 14, I am getting 7-8 hours of SOT using the front 66% of the time, on wifi, 120Hz, and 33% brightness

It's a shame tjat the phone is so bad in many ways. 1. The bezels on the inner screen. 2. Bad display inner and brightness is low 3. Bad hinges 4. Awful creese the worst of all foldables. 5. Super slow charging 6. Their UI is not good either 7. Tensor chip is not good vs look at apples chipset or Qualcomm instead. It's like having Samsung exynos which is a terrible chip. Make changes and improve it for next foldable but keep the aspect ratio and you will have a superb phone for sure. Look at Samsung fold 6 coming soon and also oneplus fold and don't forget honor also. They have so much going for them. Come on Google you can do much better then this.

I just don’t understand the appeal of a foldable phone. Silly to me, but to each his own. Great job Mark.

Because it can switch between a phone and a small tablet. I dislike the larger tablets and a folding phone unfolded makes a great little tablet.

There's no way I'd pay so much for a pixel phone ! Pixels have never been the best all round quality devices . Don't get me wrong I like pixels. Visually it looks nicer than the pixel 7 or renders of the pixel 8 and I like the idea of the side e fingerprint reader.

Unfortunately the cameras, especially the selfie camera and the video quality is unacceptable compared to iPhone 14 Pro. So I will be returning it. Also without a case it's too slippery. Finally the battery recharge speeds are way too slow

Hello, I'm stuck between ipad air 5 / ipad 10th generation (logitech keyboard + apple pencil 1) or macbook air m1, both of which correspond to 25k. The results have not been announced yet, but the departments I want are law or psychology. I have collected a solid safe at home, I don't have a laptop or iPad other than that, and I can't take the safe and work with it. Which one do you think I should buy, everyone says ipad is more comfortable, they say there is no cost of copying in terms of presentation and working (as far as I have read from videos and forums) and this photocopying thing confuses me about macbook. Also, I am too involved with computers since I was 5 years old and I can write too fast, but I have no idea if I have difficulty in handwriting with mechanical writing. In fact, both are absolutely necessary, but we do not have that much, although we do not have them, but I will try to take them into account because it is important. Anyway, it's been too long, I'd be glad if you reply. 🫡
