Pixel Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold 4: Which is better???

[@samuelgyan8105]

Since I'm not buying this phone to use the cover display i will stick with the Z fold 4 , better software experience . Looking forward to Z fold 5 .

I'm sticking with the ZFold4 for sure.. From the sound of ZFold5, I might not make the jump..ZFold4 in my opinion checks all MAJOR boxes for me except the smaller front display.. other than that, The small bezels in the ZF4 is where the Deal breaker is for me with the Pixel Fold. It also look like multi trading in the Zfold4 is more Ideal too... That camera bump on the pixel Fold doesn't do it for me either.. Only reason I ordered the Pixel Fold is because I have to at least see it in my hand, try it out for a coyote of days and 99.99% chance, it's going to be returned. Will not cost me much to try it out(just a $50 VZW restocking fee). Edit.. I actually just canceled my pixel fold order after viewing this video . Saving myself the $50 restocking fee😂

Great review. I've been asking the same question, what does the Google Fold do that other foldables don't? The answer to that is, other than the Google experience and a different form factor, not much. In my view, the Z Fold is best for power users with its ability to truly multitask, availability of the S-pen, and Samsung Dex. The Pixel Fold seems more suited for those who use their phone for communication and social media, which is how most people use their phones, probably making it the better choice for most.

[@andyH_England]

Good summation. The Samsung Folds are not really for the core market as most people that can afford $1800 phones have other devices. The Pixel Fold is for people that will use the outside display 60-70% of the time and only use the inner display for specific use cases. That is what I will do (mine arrives today). I will do a little split-screen, just a bigger display means larger font for reading and less eye strain.

[@sambeam2404]

I think an important point this misses is simply the fact that it's releasing at all. There are some amazing foldables on the market in China, but in western markets, this is the first real competitor to Samsung. Competition is always good for the consumer, and even though I likely won't get a pixel fold, I'm very happy it's coming. From all the leaks, it looks like Samsung is getting way too comfortable being on top. The z fold 5 is looking like a very small change from the 4, and I'd wager that's a least partially to do with them getting complacent.

[@albertbolanos8794]

The fold 4 already the ultimate flex. Even with all its so called complaints the crease, the gap, the skinny outer display. Man please that crease is so unnoticeable and it doesn't effect anything about the phone. The gap idgf that it has .08 gap who really cares. The skinny display is actually somthing i enjoy i actually use the outter display wqy more the the inner but when i need its there. Then you add in Dex its basically a laptop. Not even sure if I need another phone for while. Now when or if they add the pen inside and let write on the cover display its probably gonna be the perfect phone.

[@frankd9945]

I'm with you

[@joacosoler8337]

Me too! Maybe, just maybe 3mm wider, but not more. Most people miss the point on the outer screen of a foldable, it's supposed to be a one hand friendly user experience when closed and a great inner foldable screen for productivity when opened. People, if you want a normal wide front screen when closed, why bother buying a foldable (and I mean the Pixel Fold is only 5.8", pretty small by today standards).

[@rhaibi12]

Nope. Love the cover display on the Fold 4… it’s one of my favorite things about the phone.

[@andyH_England]

I feel that angle is overplayed as I rarely use my £1800 device one-handed! Even my S23U I use it 99% two-handed when interacting as I have dropped phones before, the P7P lately, and they are expensive to fix (Pixel cost £250 for a new display)!

[@MrRight0930]

@amfrepo but if you have both hands free, why not just open it to use the inner screen? At last 90% of the time, I would open my fold 4 if I want to use both hands, it's not like I don't have two seconds to waste for unfolding the phone and folding it back after use.

That cover display on the pixel is perfect.....Its the only plus point it has over the fold 4. Multitasking on the fold 4 is better with the option of having 4 plus apps open as opposed to only 2 on the pixel... Nice device, but im more than happy with my fold 4.

[@ancientslav4863]

Pixel fold - "better" front screen (size to write and pocket), better inner display aspect ratio for media Fold4/5 - better multitasking aspect ratio of inner screen, 2 tiers better speakers, better software, better/stronger CPU, brighter screen, better inner display cover near hinge (pixel takes in dust), one handed typing on front screen

[@MD-wz8uz]

Great video. I've been waiting to see how these two stack up against each other. The Pixel Fold seems really impressive and has me intrigued. But I just don't see enough to make me want to give up my Z Fold 4. If I had any other smartphone I would probably give the Pixel Fold a look. But as it stands now, I'm gonna bold out and see what's up with the Z Fold 5.

@albertbolanos8794 The Pixel Fold looks like it's gonna be a nice one. And I am tempted. But I want to see how the Z Fold 5 stacks up before I make a decision. I was all about Google and the Nexus line for a long time. Then I became a big fan of the Note line. And I guess the natural progression for me was to go to the Z Fold series. Samsung has come a long way since the TouchWiz days.

I have both phones and deciding which one to keep or use. Wanted to see others opinions and I love your video and coverage. The camera color is far better on the pixel, lady in the z fold looks orange and not natural at all. The mic is so interesting. While stationed the pixel picks up more background noise as I can hear the cars drive by which on the z fold is less but when walking around with the cover display, the pixel did a better job on background noise. You nailed the decision factor, when you use the outside screen 5% of the time versus 60% the experience is becomes night and day. Especially when you have dust everytime you open the because of the gap. I love my samsung devices but when it comes to the fold I would pick the pixel.

Open up the Z Fold 4 and turn it sideways and it does what the Google Pixel does minus the Outdated thick Bezels. I don't mind the Bezels being thick if that 8 megapixel Camera was a 12 megapixels camera. But it beats Samsung 4 megapixels camera that is under a screen which means 4 megapixels looks like 2 megapixels.

The horrible battery life is a deal breaker for me. I wanted to like this phone but I need 6-7 hr screen on time guaranteed and reviewer are saying this thing taps out at a lil over 4hrs and it also has bad stand by battery life

It takes 2-3 weeks for the adaptive battery software to kick in. I saw a reviewer that had had it for 5 weeks and he said he is now getting 6-7 hours SOT. Most reviewers are using the camera non-stop so you should not take them seriously unless you spend an hour plus doing video and photos per day.

[@SwipeGameplay]

There's a few things missing in the comparison. Yes he said about the gaming but should have shown some benchmarks since a lot of people want to play top tier gaming. This comparison is going to be outdated in a few months anyway with the z fold 5. The battery life. From comparisons I have seen. One claims after a week of testing the pixel fold lasted them 4 hours on screen time and that was mainly using the front display not the inner display which is bad. The fold 4 has a better battery. And with the z fold 5 with the upgraded chip it will do so much better. Multi-tasking. One thing you missed. The pixel is limited to only 2 apps split screen. The z fold 4 can do 3. When you want to change your wallpaper on your inner display if you change it on pixel fold it also copies it to the front screen which some people don't want. Whereas the z fold 4 does not. If you are a content creator like myself I heavily doubt the pixel fold can video edit like the z fold 4. If you have samsung Dex alongside an editing program that can edit like lumia. I doubt pixel can do that. Plus as mention pixel fold does not have samsung Dex which is a game changer

[@arvandvarahram]

Everything he missed was intention. He used to be very objective but for whatever reason he decided to risk his credibility and lost it. The same goes for Mr. Mobile who said "Google has laid the groundwork for the future of foldables" while he exactly knows there was not one new aspect added by Google . No idea what Google has paid them because otherwise you simply can't explain the behaviour.

[@tenwhite769]

Biggest drawback with pixel fold is problematic landscape design. 1. Most apps we used are portrait apps which don't scale properly to landscape orientation. Even if Google came up with a full screen hack (like zfold) stretching these portrait apps to a landscape screen will look extremely horrible. Don't forget, current zfold full screen hack is to go fullscreen in portrait screen. 2. With pixel fold there is the hassle of needing to rotate the screen to portrait if you don't want half the screen area being wasted by letter boxing. Not to mention, the need to rotate again to close the fold. 3. Even those apps with having landscape view support are not always optimum either as the fold is not a 10 inch tablet. These landscape optimized apps use half the screen to display main content (which is less than what you get on a candy bar phone). Even the KZbin app is better in portrait. It gives you a big size video on the top half and you can read comments below. In landscape view, video size is much smaller unless you go into fullscreen (which means you can't see comments at the same time). 4. When pixel fold screen is rotated to portrait (most usage scenario), having the crease on the horizontal is way MORE distracting than on vertical. When vertical content scrolls over the horizontal crease you will see the constant waviness/distortion which makes you feels like you gonna get seasick. And the horizontal crease will much more visible as the crease is at an angle to your eyes when you are holding the phone in portrait. 5. Even multi-window split view is worse than zfold. After deducting the status bar and app header and bottom bars, pixel fold has a short vertical area for content. In conclusion, Pixel fold sacrifices the inner screen and everything else for a SLIGHTLY better cover screen typing only. Totally stupid imo.

Most of the stuff we do on a phone does not need a large display, so even foldable, the front display remains the more important. You open the bigger display when you need that. Just because you can open a large display does not mean you should, e.g. responding to an email, checking the weather, running navigation, music controls, notifications, etc. I think the younger gen thinks that because you have a larger inner display you should use that all the time, but these are not designed for that, otherwise we would just have a small front panel.

And other main reason to consolidate reasons both physically and technically, having their phone but wishing they didn't leave their at home, visversa. Was a niche, now becoming a big bit in the market. As of now it's a race. Every maker having flip or folds from Samsung to the once dead RAZR, even apple has an entire division with over 1000 patients on making their foldable. Their the only main company without bc as usual they like to release perfection with anything new. In several years id bet they will be everywhere as every year they get thinner, bigger screens, best cameras. Then in the masses the prices drop. So in 2yrs when they all cost around an iphone, exact size, weight, thickness etc what would stop you or avg joe from buying apple fold, Google fold, Samsung etc? The worst sales pitch will just be it's the same as all standard phones but can open it if ever decide want more real estate. Back to the beginning I've had flip since beginning, wish it was stock bc year after year sell more n more and demand up n up I. E. Why the other companies started making them and why apple is too, for when that physical and economic day comes where folding phones may take dominance or preferred over normal aka brick/slab phones.

Awesome Review! I have the 4, looking into getting the pixel fold. It's about time to let samsung go. If you got the z fold, then you got the 5. It's not worth the upgrade.

[@sues293]

I've owned the zfold 2 3 4....one of my biggest complaints is the front screen, Samsung could eliminate it and I wouldn't miss it...its too narrow to be useful (for me). Not sure I'll do first gen google, but it checks alot of boxes for me!

[@kpehe100]

It is obvious that foldables should have almost as much access to the outer display as the inner display. Samsung must bring the height down and spread the size a little bit for users to enjoy the outer display.

[@bigheartbdbytahira4847]

I am already using samsung z fold 4. now is it ok for me? Or Pixel fold is better than samsung z fold 4. I want your advice. Thanks

[@jayslymtech2860]

Just got my pixel fold and so far I'm loving it

[@Istandal0ne1]

The Z Fold 4 has the best speakers I've ever had on a phone so I thought when I first purchased it. Anyways just wait for the z fold 5 to come out. That phones going to be a beast!

Love the pixel fold camera video quality though how smooth it is it's almost as smooth as a 4K hdr movie it's amazing 🔥

Samsung works better you can optimize apps to fit your inner display plus you have 3 app split screen.

[@albertbolanos8794]

That can be fixed with software update and I agree the up to 3 apps is nice but not everyone uses that

Subscribed for the good review and the Bleach wallpaper. 1 day to cour 2. Also in terms of foldables I'm waiting for the fold 5 to make my decision

[@subzero_757]

epic comparison, especially alongside the N2 👌🏼

[@suavemasky]

That pixel fold audio is astounding during videos

[@michaelmayers3622]

People keep saying it feel like a reg phone . If inwanted a reg phone i would just buy a reg phone. I like a one hand experience. Giggty then when u need a bigger ill just open it cause it dont matter how big the ouside acreeen is ima be having it on open mostly. Just give me a bigger inner screen

[@DroidLocks6971]

I Love To Emulate retro games up to N64 on my z fold 3 and it looks better on my zfold3 than my $329.00 Dedicated Emulation Box Even When Hooked Up To My 4K Projector .

[@mxbblife_mu]

I was always the kind of guy who thought the Surface Duo 2 was better than the Z Fold since the Pixel Fold is closest to the Duo form factor the Pixel is obviously better.

[@MD-wz8uz]

May the good Lord help you. The surface duo???? 😂😂😂😂

[@mxbblife_mu]

@@MD-wz8uz What's so funny???? Duo 2 is easily the Best phone I ever used Especially after the Android 12L update. I also have a Fold 3 and Flip 4...Duo 2 crushes both of them in most situations. Go watch any Surface Duo 2 video in 2022 or 2023 and you'll see People love it...I know it sucked a lot in 2021 when it came out but since then Microsoft has been updating the hell out of it. I would never even consider getting a Google Pixel Fold but it's literally the only phone in the US market close to the form factor of Surface Duo 2... And 1 of my Duo screens is cracked.

[@J.D.Vision]

Cant wait for the "ONE+ V FOLD".

[@er1c_s1lv3r7]

The Pixel Fold is superior.

[@metallion0738]

I much prefer the Google pixel fold also for the reasons you mention, great review as well.

[@tlnu1225]

Having the bigger coverscreen is enough to make me switch from the Z Fold 4.

[@Wolf88888]

Let's talk about the gap in foldable phones, and just how truly important it is: I have owned a Galaxy Z Fold 2 for around two years. During that time, I have noticed the gap when my phone is folded. Not. One. Single. Time.

[@TheSocialGamer]

The Pixel is by far more natural you skin looks great on the Pixel and the Galaxy make the image darker.

[@Johnlmooring]

I’m grabbing the Pixel Fold as soon as T-Mobile opens Pre-Orders. I’m not a fan of Samsungs image processing.

[@m4rcolm]

For the epic. I really like the front display is bigger . I dont like the bezel on the inside. Samsung fold 4 i really live this phone. The only thing i don't like isbthe front display . I ended up using my iphone or open the fold 4. Just because i have to something quick. I give this opinion because i have fold 4 and iphone. Epic is catching up my attention. And is just for the front display. Im going tonwait a little bit on fold 5. Just to see what they offer or still makinfgthe same phone, just changing or moving around the cameras. Otherwise inwill switching to epic.

[@AmitSharma-cy7zt]

What about inner screen not opening full i.e. not making 180 deg flat surface? Is it fine with you…

[@Achilles2014]

I've been using the zfold for a while & I love it but I really like how the pixel fold looks. I'll see what zfold 5 has to offer then I'll make my decision!

[@dr_emmz]

we already know what z fold 5 has to offer so just make a decision already.

[@Boo13oo]

How did you get TikTok on full screen mode on the pixel fold display when opened?

[@strategygalactic]

There is no better. It's what fits your needs.

[@rusty9508]

Don't listen to Samsung fan boys. I had a Samsung fold for 2 years made the switch the the pixel fold and it's not even close how much better the pixel is. Make the change now!

[@israelgonzalez5166]

Does the Pixel Fold allows you to play CoD Fullscreen on the inner display?

[@7kitt772]

would vote for Pixel, Samsung's design and gap between drives me crazy :)

[@raifordkenneth15]

great video the pixel fold is amazing but it's not better then the fold 4 and when the fold 5 comes out it's gonna be better even if the pixel fold was 500 dollars I still wouldn't get it over the fold

[@MrJoshuapoon]

The Pixel fold is better in the aspect ratio and camera. But I will stick with my Z Fold 4 because of the software.

[@mellonjohns224]

I like the pixel fold better than the galaxy fold but I’m not into foldable yet When the internal screen gets more damage resistant And not to mention coming from Samsung,I don’t want a android for awhile.😊

[@oburney2607]

If you going to like the pixel fold just because of its form factor and the front screen you might as well just get a pixel 7. I have a z fold 4 and I love it and I don't find any issues using the front screen, I think people who has a problem with it using that as a cop out excuse .

[@GhostShipInc]

I have a Fold 3 and a Surface Duo 1, which is close to what the Pixel Fold design is. Fold is for personal, Duo is for work. You get used to the cramped keys on a candy bar phone depending on the size, but after using a wider display's keyboard, you appreciate the difference. Using both daily, I would much rather have what the Pixel fold offers in terms of screen size. The Z fold cover display works, but in terms of quality, it's the better screen than the inside one, especially for games like Call of Duty, for example. I found myself wanting to use the cover screen to play the game instead of the inside display, but couldn't really use it because of the aspect ratio. I suspect the same will be true for the Pixel Fold, since the screens are technically different, but the aspect ratio on its cover screen will allow you to enjoy games in a better aspect ratio than on the Z fold's cover display. I don't think it's a cop out all. Samsung has an opportunity to improve on the cover screen. With all of the features it offers, especially the use of the S Pen, I believe if they make it more usable, the Z fold series will be better than the Pixel fold.

[@chipdex]

I have the Fold 4 and I like it a lot but I ordered the Pixel Fold because I still have trouble typing on the narrow outer screen. Also I had a Pixel 6 Pro before and I miss the Pixel-exclusive features as well as the camera. The Pixel Fold has 5x optical zoom vs 3x on my Fold 4. I like the s pen (I used to have a Note) but since it's not integrated I don't really use it. Main point is that it's not a cop out to dislike the narrow cover screen. I tried switching to iPhone recently and my main reason for not doing so was trouble typing. Those of us who paid a lot of money for our Folds are not eager to take a hit by switching so soon. So if we're doing it the reasons are likely legitimate.

[@oburney2607]

@chipdex I understand everything what you are saying, however, what I mean about cop out is that people keep saying the screen to narrow but people knew that before hand and still bought the phone anyways so that's a cop out to me because I have big hands and I don't have no issues typing on the keyboard on the front screen. I have had blackberry phones, palm trio phones, sidekicks, etc never had a problem typing. I know this may sound silly but it depend on the type case you have on the z fold that makes a whole lot of difference.

[@umeumeume]

​@chipdex how can you have trouble typing on your zf4? Samsung's expandable keyboard is massive and ridiculously customizable.

[@GhostShipInc]

@oburney2607 all good. I understand where you are coming from. I brought the Duo and the fold knowing the limitations and issues with them. I absolutely knew the keyboard on the fold is smaller. I used it daily for a year and a half before I switched to the S23 Ultra as my daily personal phone, but the decision wasn't due to the keyboard. It came down to realizing that about 95 percent of the time I used the cover display instead of the inner display. Whenever I did use the inner display, the aspect ratio and screen quality didn't meet my expectations over time. I figured I was better off with a better daily experience with a normal candy bar phone than a folding one. I don't expect that to change much when I buy the Pixel Fold, but the key difference for me is that I should retain to some degree with what the S23 Ultra gives me daily, but when I need to, get the benefit of having a folding screen. I believe the Pixel Fold, while not perfect will get me closer to the ideal use case for a folding phone than what the Z fold 3 gave me, and I'm looking forward to getting one and trying it out.

[@garyharris9750]

Ya....I'll stick with my zfold3. Will upgrade to the zfold5. Google needs to catch up......Goodluck Google.
