@aaroncanter it has no S Pen support because the phone is meant to kill Chinese fold. Ablooms is design a take on that side of the market. That's why it has no s pen support
I got my Pixel 9 Pro Fold recently, i noticed the first few dyas the battery was abysmal, but after the few days were done, i found my pixel is lasting 24-36 hours without charge. Why i went pixel 9 Pro Fold - Samsung experience for me seems more convoluted in many aspects, not to mention the bloatware i dont need at all, i really miss old Samsung where they cared about a clean UI experience, My phone is a phone, not a gaming device for me, productivity isnt about Games its about real world experience of the average users, most people dont need floating screens (Yes i have that enabled from Dev Settings), but the average person doesnt need 4 apps on one screen as it becomes harder to read or do anything. If you want productivity in that kind of way a Tablet or a PC would be more useful in these cases. Most users dont have the fold for opening it constantly, i find on average i only open it when sitting down, which is 10% of my daily experience. the 90% is just the front screen use only. I find my experience on a Pixel device smoother over Samsung devices and more consistent and cohesive. I like the fact the wider screen is easier to use as it reminds me of holding my normal slab phone.
Well said. As you can undoubtedly tell by my videos, I'm of the same mindset. The outside wider screen just only makes sense. I'm not one to play games on my phone either, so that's why the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is my phone of choice. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on the video. I do appreciate your support. 👍
Great video! I tried the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and ended up selling it on Swappa this week. Here's why I went back to the Z Fold 6: Performance: The Z Fold 6 is noticeably faster and smoother. Software: Samsung's software is more polished and intuitive. One-handed use: The Z Fold 6 is easier to manage with one hand. Pixel 9 pro giant bezels are annoying. Gaming: The Pixel 9 Pro Fold struggled to run games smoothly for me. Customization: I missed being able to customize the cover and inner screens separately, which you can do on the Z Fold 6. Only 4 apps in a row on the cover screen is ridiculous. If I hadn't used a foldable before, I might have been okay with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. But after experiencing the Z Fold 6, there was no comparison for me.
I haven't noticed an issue with the new cellular chip, but then I live in a valley where we have strong service. I thought they went with a new radio to prevent that with the 9 series phones. I'll do some checking on that, I'd like to know if there is an issue. Thanks for being that up and tuning into the channel. I appreciate your support!👍
I was deciding between the fold 6 or magic v3, ended up with the Samsung which has been already durability tested by my nephew. He likes to turn it to a "tent". Overall I'm happy with the phone and the narrow screen is not that bad either because I find myself using it a lot.
You can never go wrong with a proven foldable with a long track record like Samsung. I used the tent mode a lot back in my Surface Duo days. The large unmatched screens made it awesome to watch content that way. Thanks for sharing and supporting the channel with your comment. 👍
What I want to know is the Android Auto Performance. For example does it warm up? does it slow down or give error when in extensive use. have the Pixel 7 pro and that's the issue i have is performance with that and I travel a lot for work. so Music GPS on Android auto maybe running youtube as well lol
I actually don't have any vehicles to use Android Auto with, that is to say, I don't have any compatible Android Auto vehicles. But I have used it in all other scenarios you listed there, in my car on a tablet mount. I have not had any issues with it overheating in any combination of use. My Pixel 9 Pro does seem to run cooler than my Pixel 8 Pro did as well, so I think the cooling chambers along with the new processor is helping the 9 series quite a bit. Oh yeah, and I have yet to get an overheating warning during 4K video, which is something that happened all the time even on the Pixel 8 Pro. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment. I appreciate your support. 👍
Not even a competition, have both and Fold 6 is the king of folds. Ye, some folks like the "larger" screen but thats´the good with a fold..small in pocket and large when you fold it up. I do use it more for fun tho, a fold can´t handle my own daily use. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience with both folds. It's funny how when I use either one I always miss something about the other. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your support. 👍
You know I didn't even mention those. I guess that goes to show how much I use them. 🤣 That's not to say they aren't great features cuz they are. I just don't have a use for them. Thanks for calling those out. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks for your support. 👍

I prefer the Pixel Fold because it is more user friendly and easy to use. That is plain and simple to me. I do not need too many gimmicks or multiple screens floating around which is too much for the eyes anyway. Simplicity wins in my book.
Amen, sometimes KISS is best. Keep It Super Simple. I've never found a use for a floating window. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate your support! 👍
That may be a little difficult to get since it will not be available globally. It's also a little pricey with little changes. Usually the SE models are cheaper, not sure why Samsung went the other direction.
I stopped using my Z-Fold 6 mainly because of the disappointing camera. Basic snaps are fine, but the zoom is just terrible. After it ruined enough shots I went back to my slab phone.
That is one area the Z Fold truly fails. The cameras are below standard when they should be flagship at least. Which slab phone do you use? Thanks for watching and sharing. Your support is much appreciated.👍
Thank you for your kind words. That's exactly what I'm going for on all my reviews. Most of us enjoy the phones as our daily drivers, so looking at them that way only makes sense to me. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate your support for the channel! 👍
After a lot of back and forth, I decided on the Pixel. So far i am really enjoying it. I didnt think i would use the AI features very much, but I use Gemini so much.
Once you get it down and figure out where the AI best supports you, you get hooked. I love it. I have a OnePlus Open that was defective and sent back to the factory. It took 2 months to get it replaced. I just got it back and I'm working on a video on the comparison between that and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It's looking like AI is going to be the determining factor. Once you really get wrapped into it, it's hard to let go of it. Thanks for tuning in to the channel. I appreciate your comment and support. 👍
Honestly that's what most or a lot of tech people say so that really wasn't anything new but good information. I don't understand why people are not talking about the honor V3 with it being global. Hands down the best phone by far..
To be honest, I’m already stretched with my budget since I have to buy all these devices out of pocket. The Honor V3 is one of those outlier devices that just isn’t as popular in the US, so it wouldn’t bring in as many views as some of the other ones do. It took a while for the OnePlus Open to gain enough attention to really spark interest, but the good news is that it's starting to pave the way for other manufacturers. So, it’s only a matter of time before we see more global devices catching on. In my next video, I’ll be diving into why buying devices outside of the US can be a bit risky. I know I haven’t covered everything here, but hopefully, this gives you a clearer picture of why the interest just isn't there yet. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your support! 👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 Ironically Honor Magic V3 is gathering massive global “following” and will actually get you more views than Z fold and Pixel right now.
The bluetooth on the fold 6 is attrocious. Half or 1/3 the range of S24U. I wanted to try out z fold 6 and its so bad I decided to send it back the NEXT DAY and customer service wants a $108 restocking fee. BEWARE.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I haven't tested the Bluetooth range, I'll have to do that now. That restocking fee sounds ridiculous. I hope you got out of paying that. Sorry for your bad experience.
Google make the best Android phones.. Samsung's are full of bloatware.. doubling up on loads of native Google apps! Nobody needs Bixby or Samsung Cloud on a Google device 🤣
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 I should clarify that. Google makes the best software, Samsung the best hardware for Android phones. If they didn't bundle in so many conflicting apps, may of which can't be removed. The Samsung would be a clear a winner.
I sold my Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold and kept my Z Fold 6 and Honor Magic v3 (Global)
I'd love to check out an Honor Magic v3. I'm concerned they're getting a little thin these days. I wonder how durable it is. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Interesting, what made you do that
Is honor magic v3 better than z fold 6?
A fold 6 has a great software suitable for foldables…also the camera bump is small which makes it a lot more handy and compact
You're not wrong! It does need a case so it can sit flat. The new Z Fold 6 SE looks good.
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 yeah but I’m surprised no s pen support

You basically sums it up for me. I have the same thoughts. Hate the bloatwares of Samsung so baaaad.

All valid reasons for you to go Samsung. Thanks for sharing.👍
Pixel all the way..Gotta have the larger screens. Great video, thanks!
My thoughts exactly. 👍
Another thing people need to consider is the actual cellular service. I’ve heard a lot of people saying the pixel still has poor connectivity issues.
I haven't noticed an issue with the new cellular chip, but then I live in a valley where we have strong service. I thought they went with a new radio to prevent that with the 9 series phones. I'll do some checking on that, I'd like to know if there is an issue. Thanks for being that up and tuning into the channel. I appreciate your support!👍
No it doesn't. I used both and the pixel significantly improved the reception and cellular connectivity
This is not true and where did you get this info from ? the new pixel 9 series are exceptional with cell signals.
I was deciding between the fold 6 or magic v3, ended up with the Samsung which has been already durability tested by my nephew. He likes to turn it to a "tent". Overall I'm happy with the phone and the narrow screen is not that bad either because I find myself using it a lot.

And now we have the Fold SE, who's getting one?
That may be a little difficult to get since it will not be available globally. It's also a little pricey with little changes. Usually the SE models are cheaper, not sure why Samsung went the other direction.
@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 yes plus losing Spen functionality is a big one.
