Never watched your videos, but it was refreshing. Not jumping on the big youtubes bandwagon bashing. You reviewed the device for what it can do and didn't make it such a big concern for the small things. I must say though, for $1799 its probably easier to complain, but at the resale market for a good Pixel Fold for $700-$900, its very impressive. If they priced these at $1299-$1399 they would have a sold a LOT more. Now the phones retail is still $1799 and an afterthought for most sadly if paying full price without some kind of discount from a carrier.
Great video. The Pixel Fold was my favorite phone of 2023, I haven't tested the OnePlus Open yet. But I agree with all your points on the Pixel Fold. There's definitely room for improvement but all in all it was a great first attempt at a foldable
You're back maaan, it's awesome ! Do you think you'll ever do some more Homescreen setups vids like back in the day ? I really loved them. Wish you the best.
I hear that all the time. but I use my Pixel fold open 80% of the time. it's fine closed, no complaints, and I usually keep it closed for picture taking, but I love it open. Very happy with it. I love it. I hate Verizon and will be leaving them soon, but I love the pixel fold.
Being a Pixel fan for a long time, I bought this phone twice and returned it twice. I just couldn't justify the price. It was a nice, premium piece of technology. Add on all the Pixel extras, and it seemed like a really solid everyday phone. I sometimes wished I had kept it, just wish it had a more up to date processor. I wonder what they are doing with the design of the P Fold 2.
They have ALOT to work on for the fold 2 thats for sure. I had waited years for this thing..huge google fan and folding phone fan but passed on it because it was so bad. Hope they really put some effort into the fold 2 this year. Excellent video though, well done!
Excellent review! Honestly I am going to pick one up from eBay for $800 and I think it was a worthy investment especially when pixel fold 2 drops i'm sure they'll be some hefty incentives to trade in
i will never understand reviewers need for a faster charging speed, 30 watts is more than enough for a phone especially on a phone that last all day, a faster charging spped if just gonna deteriorate the battery faster. I charge my phone overnight and thats enough for a whole day but even if i forgot to charge my phone overnight, i just put my phone to charge for 30 minutes and that about enough for all day
The Pixel Fold is beast mode running Android 14 beta QR2 is the calling software and other features makes more than others. Also adding Armorshield screen protector over the original is awesome.
I love my PF and have done since day 1. I too like the weightiness of it and the crease/bezels don't bother me one bit. Of course there are things I'd like improved but the majority are software based and hopefully Google will up their game and provide these.
This pixel fold was definitely a concept. Hence it is the only pixel phone to not be slash in price by nearly 40% after launch. Google has kept this phone as expensive as they could. The OnePlus fold is great, but their quality control is just bad and they are doing nothing about it. If Google could make a foldable like the OnePlus open with the T4 chip and drop the price then you have business. But with the good 5 always on sale now; it still makes sense to get the Samsung fold in the states for right now.
Glad I bought the fold during Black Friday sales as the new fold form factor is just like everyone else by all accounts. I bought the fold especially for its form factor and pixel software.
@@minhn2888 it’s probably worth waiting for the 2 now if only for a bigger price drop on the original. The biggest complement I can give the Fold is that due to the form factor and Google camera algorithms it’s the first fold or flip I’ve had I could use as my only phone. I love it.
Few questions: 1. Do you not notice the crease after using it for a while like in display front camera? 2. For the remarkable, are you able to use it in a dark room and brightness won't attract attention? Planning to use while writing notes in movie theater
I haven’t! Even though the ad for it in this video is sponsored, I’m thinking about doing a non-sponsored video of the reMarkable tablet because I genuinely like it that much 😅
Absolutely! Every aspect of the Pixel fold is better than the OnePlus open software updates. Long-term updates, cameras, video, AI size, build materials design and it's not Chinese. Cheap garbage OnePlus is dead to me since the OnePlus 7 pro. Just an upper phone with a different branding on it the crease also disappears when you open it fully. You can only see it from a very very tight angle
I guess the hype or craze for foldables pretty much died down, but I do see foldables like the z fold catching up if only they could provide more diverse aspect ratios, as well as improved cameras. So far Samsung pretty much improved a lot in terms of durability of folded screens, but they could do better.
I had the phone for around 6 months. I enjoyed it. Yes I noticed the display didn’t open flat for around 10 minutes. After that I didn’t notice it and the phone was amazing regardless
The automatic NO BUY regarding the Pixel Fold comes from it using a 2022 SoC. It's laughable. 🤣🤣🤣 The $1,800 price for any foldable phone isn't the problem. It's what you DON'T get for that price that's the problem.
Mine opens flat when opened. I went from a decade of iPhones to this. And the difference is staggering. Amazing. 😊😊
how its holding? I am thinking about switching iPhone 15 for this beauty
@@mateuszbazejczykdid you switch? I been thinking bout the pro fold 9

I was going to sell my Pixel Fold and just keep the OP Open, but your thumb nail is making me want to keep it now
Anything you want to know about the Open? I have one, I'm honestly intrigued by the Pixel Fold. .

Zach pls do more home screen setups bro been your fan from like 4 to 3yrs bro am from kenya
I am loving the fold
Many people love it, many people hate it.
That is always what's gonna happen.
People who hate it don't have it

But it is not even 30w... 21w is the maximum speed for Pixel Fold

What charger was that? Also is there a making the "Pixel Fold Mine" video?

My inner screen broke 3 weeks after I bought it. To make matters worse it got lost in the mail on its way back to Google.
So what happened after that? That’s not really a Google thing that it got lost in the mail

Fold 2 needs to be the size of the Find N1 or 2 .
Keep it passport-like.
I got mine at launch no trade in Att 900.00 that's it carriers deals still have my Z Fold 3 on the shelf too.
Good vid and info. Thanks.
yes: 1st gen product and pros and cons
yes: one of the best foldables around.

How has it been? Recommend it? Or recommend waiting for Fold 2?

Hi Zach! hope you are doin fine & we'll get to see you soon with your awesome customization videos 🥔
I love the look of this phone im mad that i swtched to the 8 pro
As soon as you said emulator I was all in. I NEED that
Few questions:
1. Do you not notice the crease after using it for a while like in display front camera?
2. For the remarkable, are you able to use it in a dark room and brightness won't attract attention? Planning to use while writing notes in movie theater
How about the reception?? Signal issues?? Heat?
Good. Not for me. Warm.
Awesome vid! Have u retired from customization and app vids?
Thanks! Not quite. More like an extended break lol. I'll be back with customization videos this year!
@@ZachAnderson LETS GO!! I like all of your vids but those are my fav. Keep up the good stuff and I hope 2024 treats u well!
When you gonna do the review of the one plus 12?
Have you reviewed the Remarkable Tablet? I couldn't find it in your vids. Thanks!
I haven’t! Even though the ad for it in this video is sponsored, I’m thinking about doing a non-sponsored video of the reMarkable tablet because I genuinely like it that much 😅
@ZachAnderson Sounds good! I'm looking forward to it!
Nice video, where do you get the music from?
Thanks! The background music? From Musicbed
What's the name of that wallpaper app you're using?
Bring pixel fold to Australia 😢
I really don't like the outter display on the galaxy fold. Also I'm not a fan of Samsung UI. It's just too much going on here.
excellent work, better late than never 👌🏼 😎
$900 bucks to repair the inside screen. nearly double the repair cost of the Samsung fold or one plus open repair
It's a solid phone, just too heavy.
The Pixel Fold 2 will look more like the One Plus Fold.
Nah. You don't know Google if you believe that lol
What is the name of the weather widget you use in your video?
it's from Today Weather! - bit.ly/2o6aGyO

2 in 1. Smartphone and tablet.
They need a foldable flip the size of the mi max 3 .
How u do tht dark mode 📳
Complete black
Nice 👍

You sound a little different today, you okay bro Zach?

It’s from pitaka

It's not flat when open, it hurts my soul. I had a hard time watching this video just because it's no flat.
I had the phone for around 6 months. I enjoyed it. Yes I noticed the display didn’t open flat for around 10 minutes. After that I didn’t notice it and the phone was amazing regardless

@@allanmcintyre989 I really want to get this phone,is it worth it ? Hope you reply👍
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M what? Both the Z fold 5 and the Oneplus Open fold flat.
@@allanmcintyre989how is the battery life?

What weather widget is that you have on the home screen? Thank you for this video. Tired of people bashing this device.
8:08 I'm gonna need know what game is that 🥔
