I’ve had the Pixel Fold for about a week now and have daily driven the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, 3, and 4 and flip 3 over the past few years. I have some pretty decent experience with American available foldables since they started really popping off.
I just wanted a place for people to ask questions and I can give some quick impressions about what I like and dislike about the new Pixel Fold compared to the Samsung foldables I had.
Pixel Fold Pros: Much more usable front screen Much smoother. Definitely have not run into as many glitches or hiccups or stutters as any of the folds that I used Software in general is much more cohesive and better designed Pixel exclusive software features Better camera in almost every category Folds flat and thinner Less noticeable crease
Pixel fold cons: Charges slower even using same charger Battery life is good but could be better. Hopefully improved with software updates Software is less customizable. bottom gesture bar cannot be hidden or have any app be in split screen the way you want it Screens have the same contrast I think, but the galaxies are noticeably brighter Pretty picky with the charging support and wireless chargers that can enable quick charging Bezels on the inside and a little bit of the outside are more noticeable, but that’s really not a bother
I’ll update this list more when I think about it, but feel free to ask any questions you have below!
I guess because I don’t have a tablet 😅 just never really had the need. But I can see why you’d like a bigger phone screen if you regularly use a tablet.
