The last one I was going to mention is a quick one, and ties into the software gripes - No Fingerprint sensor swiping. Immensely convenient and useful feature on the Fold 4. One I use every day, especially in tablet mode, and I wish it was here (But I figured I'd save you a segment and just type it here haha) I hope the video was helpful for you guys! Let me know if you're taking the plunge!
I'm a proud owner of a Galaxy Zfold 4, and man, I love this thing. Wanted to check out your video to see how the Pixel Fold compared and I got to say I'm surprised you loved the front screen of the pixel fold so much, it is way too small for my liking for a phone. When I first got the fold4 I thought the front screen was alot smaller than I thought at first but I love it now and honestly use it about 50% of the time if I am to be honest but compared to the pixel fold I really prefer the taller front screen as opposed to the shorter and wider but maybe that is just me. All in all, it's a very informative video, definitely giving a thumbs up 👍
Great follow up review. I am returning my pixel fold. The battery is the main reason as by 6pm my phone completely dies and if I use the inner screen more than it's worse. I do miss the multi app windows and features from samsung. I got a dent/scratch on the top inner bezel where the screen closes on both sides (didn't expect that). I'll wait to see what the z fold 5 has to offer.
Hey, Hamlet! Thanks for dropping in again, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I sadly agree on the battery 😔 Such a great device, sadly missing a few key things. I am eager for the Fold 5 also! It is nearing!
@@DavidAVelez1I also noticed it drains my galaxy watch more than when it’s connected to a samsung device. That was weird maybe its the extra apps and driver that is needed. Do you use a smart watch? If so, have you experienced that?

Great video. I use the fold 4 so I was interested in the pixel fold but watching other people's pixel experiences over the past three or four years has made it so I can't trust Google. I just wish the fold 4 had battery life like the s23 ultra
Hey, man! I watched your videos a ton when picking up my M3! Thanks for all of your help and content! I'm also a daily Fold 4 guy, awesome phone. And same! My wishlist for the F5 is battery and cameras 🤞
@@DavidAVelez1 ha well glad I could help you as well! Yes the S23U camera and battery are freaking amazing, but overall I had to go back to the folding form factor. It's so much better for one handed (closed) and two handed use

@@DavidAVelez1 I should point out that my iPhone 14 Pro Max is still the best phone and the one I use the most often. It’s the technology of the Pixel Fold that intrigues me and your video really helped understand the pluses and minuses of the phone.
Hey, Terry! I hope the video could at least give you an idea of what to expect, BUT ENJOY! Google honestly did a stellar job for their first go around. It's a great device!
I 100% agree, Terry! I'd say the Pixel 7 Pro is an awesome phone, but for $1800 here on the Pixel Fold, it's a hard selll. The Fold 4 is much more bang for buck and can be purchased for less money now
I dont understand how people are getting only 4.5 hours only. I can easily get 7-8 hours screen time with video calls, watching reels, a lil photography here and there, etc
I like your videos, but please don’t be like other reviewers and say things like ‘daily driving/daily driver’. It’s not a thing, it’s just an irritating phrase someone used and everyone now just follows. It’s a phone
Hey, Gamer! I am really happy to hear you enjoy the content! What do you mean about the daily driver? As in the phone doesn't actually drive? If so, I see what you mean! I guess I just figured it's such a common phrase (thus I can understand why annoying 😆) that people will understand the sentiment in relation to the device. I hope that makes sense! And I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
@@DavidAVelez1 thanks for the reply. The phrase ‘daily driver’ is a phrase used for cars, and someone thought it would make sense to use it when talking about phones and now everyone uses the phrase. But in relation to phones it’s nonsensical. ‘Main phone’ or ‘everyday phone’ makes more sense. The problem with TH-cam is once 1 person says something, everyone does it and then the originality disappears. Maybe I’m easily triggered but that phrase just irritates me 🤣
After my experience with the fold 3 these folding phone are not worth the price tag. The technology is still new and with the pirce of the fold or pixel you can get flagship device like S23U or iPhone 14 pro, a tablet, and an apple watch or Samsung watch. With this folding phone price tag the device needs to be good in all departments unfortunately its not. And finally these devices dont retain their value and in less than 6 months they will be mich cheaper
Hey, Federico! Hahaha, that's fair! But it's the closest thing at the moment and I had requests for it. Even so, the Fold 4 wins out in a number of different ways despite the year gap!
Regarding the fact that you find the screen of the Pixel brighter than that of the Galaxy, either you received a Pixel with ''exceptional brightness'', or it is your Galaxy that has a problem. And regarding the width of the Pixel when folded, it is not the width of the screen that people complain about, but rather the width of the smartphone itself, which could have been avoided with a less protuberating hinge or even a less wide screen by 3-4mm while keeping the same hinge 🤷🏽♂️ On the other hand, no offense to Google fans, but, Tensor G2 + the borders of the internal screen are inadmissible in 2023 especially at $1800, and for me, a Fold (mini tablet) without pen 🖋, has no interest.
Hey, Rolins! Well the Galaxy Fold has a peak nit brightness of 1,000 While the Pixel Fold is rated at 1,500. I don't always throw numbers at you guys (and just try and relate it to practical use) but I would say in my personal use I notice the brightness difference in direct sunlight. Both are usable, though! And for sure on the width! I think the width increase is marginal, personally. It feels really good in the hand (but that's purely subjective of course, not everyone is going to like it) And I agree on the Tensor 😭 Such a premium device, but only Med/MedHigh settings on games is a bummer, and it gets hot quicker than you'd like on an $1,800 device :/ AND NO PEN, YES! GREAT POINT!
@@DavidAVelez1 Regarding the brightness of the Pixel Fold, indeed, the figures announced by Google are higher than those of the Fold 4, but we all know Google at this level, the figures are never related to reality, and all the other testers have confirmed it. Regarding the width of the Pixel Fold, indeed, it is not necessarily the widest smartphone in the world, but we must remember that 95% of people use a protective case on their smartphone, and especially on a smartphone at $1800, the question does not even arise.
I get the reasons why google is opting for their own chip but i cant help but wonder how much the snapdragon 8 gen 2 could’ve done for this device not only in performance, but especially battery life
We will see with the Fold 5 as to battery life but my experience is that the Fold 4 is similar in battery to the Pixel Fold and the Fold 4 is also 4nm TSMC, similar to the SD8G2. The Fold 4 did not have the awful Samsung-made SD8G1 so the improvement from S22 to S23 will not be nearly as obvious from Fold 4 to Fold 5.
I've taken the pixel fold on a trip for 7 days. And I've not been more satisfied with the battery. It has a similar standby discharge rate as my iphone 14 pm. With daily use, by the end of day I still have 20% or more left. And if I don't charge it at night I'm left with 17% in the morning.
Just got the GPFold and have spent the last 24 hours comparing it to my Z4Fold, and I got to say I been going back and forth between which to keep! Seems the Pixel has this magical buttery flow when your using it, while Samsung is so feature rich.....hmmm which to choose? 🤔
Hahahah, you hit the nail on the head! Buttery UI and animations or featuresets 😩 I personally think the one with the latter has enough of the former that I would choose it instead.
Im debating between keeping used/renewed zf4 and a pixel 7 pro, or only keeping a new S23U. Leaning towards the former, more fun to play with both OS. Hopefully the second 2nd gen pixel fold fixes some of these issues next year
Ohhh, this is an interesting take! I like your first idea also 😆 Best of both worlds! I am crossing my fingers 🤞 hard that Google takes a jump with the Pixel Fold 2, they have an awesome foundation here!
Having used the phone since launch I agree with the reasons not to buy the Pixel Fold. To me those are basic compromises in battery, screen brightness, performance under direct sunlight and outdoors in general. This is not a good phone to use outdoors. All these basic compromises I feel makes this phone not worth its price compared to last year's Galaxy Z Fold 4 which I had no problems using outdoors. The Pixel Fold is nice to use as a second mobile device but for $1800 but unfortunately does not perform as good as the older $599 Pixel 7 and $899 7 Pro.
Hey dfksijjvjfioewksniwks! 😂 But there is definitely a lot of room for growth on the Pixel! Great foundation, and room to flourish. For like $1,300 I could see it selling more.
I agree $1,300 would have been a perfect price. I see that everyone says $1,800 but I count what comes out of my pocket which is $2,250 for the 512gb with the case and tax. I really love the form factor but it's not worth the price. Samsung gives a lot of discount and incentive to buy theirs. Like the z fold 4 they gave $200 credit towards accessories, huge discount on the galaxy watch 5 pro or free for non-pro, a $1k trade in value plus student discount.
l've had all the ZFolds but if Google would have come in at a lower (much lower) price point I'd try the Google Fold. To lose the use of my S Pen alone is a deal breaker. I use my S Pen ALOT. Maybe next year Google.....
I think this phone is going to be more meant for those who either really love pixel system. Or those of us who were really into the Duo but disapointed with the software. Im personally excited to get my pixel fold and trade in my fold 4 because of the form factor. It is going to be the best of the surface duo AND z fold. Which most duo fans went back and forth between. I dont think this will draw in a lot of iphone or regular android users, but mostly those who are die hard fans of foldables AND surface duo as well.
Just came across your channel while looking for Pixel Fold reviews - enjoyed the video and sub'd. I think I'll wait for next year's version of the Pixel Fold. Had the hardware been more in line with today's specs and not something from two years ago, I might have considered dropping $1800 on it.
actually the fold 4 is more clearer thrn the pixel fold but the pixel fold just get louder the pixel fold is a amazing phone but its not better then the fold at all I would never pick the pixel fold over thr galaxy fold the fold has so many features that take advantage of the galaxy fold inner screen
Good video. Being in Canada, no Pixel Fold. I am sticking with my Fold 4 until I see what the Fold 5 comes with. FYI, have you ever looked at One Hand in good lock? Gestures on it are SO much better for doing things like screenshots, pop window, split screen, pulling the notifications down, etc.
Hey there! Thanks for dropping in! 👋 I am eager for the Fold 5 also! I expect just further refinements than large upgrades, though YES! Good Lock has been awesome! Yet another bonus in the Galaxies pocket. Google has a solid foundation, but more room to grow for sure!
I had one for about 24 hours and thought it was a ton of fun, until I realized that the plastic of the inner screen has too much friction and the outer screen is too short. I found myself missing using my Pixel 6 Pro. As much as I really wanted to love it, the inner screen fragility and feel, plus the outer screen height and lack of third party app optimization, it just felt like an expensive toy. Also, this type of device really makes you realize how many websites are optimized for mobile screens and the desktop site doesn't make the difference I thought it would.
Been a pixel user since Pixel 2. The Software has been a reason i will never go back to Apple. I used to be an Apple user but after bricking two phones i bought outright made me go back to Android. I used to have a Galaxy S21 Ultra and it was great but i did have fun with my phone. For the first time i will fork out the money to be an early adopter so we get more and updated Pixel Folds.
I 100% agree with you. It's a shame, it's overall a great device, but you can buy a Galaxy Fold 4 for less money right now with more features and better battery.
For their first gen device, I really think they did an amazing job. But for that money, I can’t let slide the gripes I have with it like those bezels or deeper crease BECAUSE I already know that other devices have done significantly better to have them not be as present. Not to mention I truly believe a deeper crease leads to more stress on the screen over time, there’s a reason I’ve only seen samsung screen crack along the middle vs any other foldable. Really looking forward to gen 2, they have a good form factor on their hands, yes yes yes to wider outer display, thinness, and gapless closure
Hey, Extra! I agree, awesome job for the first go around. And also agree that the price is so steep to not have those other complementary features and premium qualities (battery). Especially when Google has all the money in the world to make it top tier. Fingers crossed for next year!
The only reason you've seen "only Samsung's" crack along the middle is because they are the only Manufacturer selling foldables in all global markets and they currently have close to 90% market share vs their competitors who predominantly only sell in China. With a far bigger customer base than anyone else then it stands to reason you will hear "more issues" from Samsung users. If the issue was that bad, Samsung would have done a recall. As someone who worked in Mobile Telecoms in retail, marketing and repairs across a 15 year period, I can tell you this as fact. When was the last time you heard anyone complain or post videos about a failing Sony or Nokia devices? The answer is simple, you can't remember. Reason why? Both manufacturers have insignificant percentages of market share. That doesn't mean they have no defects, it just means it will be much harder for it to come across your radar.
G2 is a fundamentally pathetic chip. Not because of the performance or benchmarks but because of how inefficient the chip is in battery, ram management and temperature control. Pixel 7 Pro barely stays cool while opening common apps like Amazon, Mega or Artstation. Those who just gets a phone for making a video will probably won't notice these basic drawbacks.
Hey, Ray! You're 100% right, and I honestly should've deleted a bit deeper into that beyond just the gaming limitations. But I 100% feel the same drawbacks on the 7 Pro. I love that phone in a lot of ways otherwise, but Tensor holds it back. You'll see in the comments here people asking if the PFold gets hot and I unfortunately have to tell them yes haha. Much hotter, faster, during games and heavy Multitasking with videos and apps (not a ton of the latter in my experience, but I have experienced it) Thanks for the insight!
I would agree with you on mostly everything you said except on the brightness and sound.. The z fold4 has a Extra Brightness setting that makes it brighter, and the sound settings in the z fold4 for Dolby Amtos make its also sound better..
Hey there! I am also a fellow Thespian 😁 Well, was. I haven't acted in a while 🥹 But I think I address the Pixel shortcomings pretty objectively! The Pixel Gold got a LOT right, but it's lacking a tin in software (now that you mention it, though, I definitely missed huge by forgetting to point out Dex) But even in Fold-Centric features, the Fold 4 sweeps for sure
I've been using the Galaxy Z Fold series since the OG one (typing this on the Fold 4). I'm strongly considering it because of that full screenlike front display. I actually use my phone 50/50 open/close so it be great to have a front screen that would be easier to type on! The bezel around the inner display is a little bit of an eyesore but i can forgive it thanks to the higher quality selfie cam. I don't game and I'm not too picky with pictures on my phone so as long as general performance and cam is good I'm really leaning towards getting it. 🍑
I've had the fold 3 and 4 and I'm thoroughly enjoying the pixel. I miss Samsung software but I prefer the shape and size of the pixel. I use the outside screen at work and I love it. When I take breaks or have a moment to dive into some content or a book I open it up. It's harder to type on the inside screen and a little more of a hassle to hold one handed open but it's easy to get used to it. I turn if sideways which feels like the galaxy fold. Barely notice the bezels. Took about a week and now it feels more natural. I can give it a thumbs up and recommend it but maybe stick with Samsung and wait for the pixel 2nd generation. Kinks should be worked out by then.
Bro... the TH-cam algo sucks! how am i just finding your channel now?? I fully expected to see your sub count over 100k... it's coming man. I am a fellow small creator (only4.2K) subs so i appreciate the time and effort you put into this video!! Would be cool to collab on a live stream one day... talk about our favourite tech.
I have the fold 4 now and love it, but will likely switch to the pixel once the second one comes out. I would like to see some of those things get fixed and updated hopefully better battery. But I much prefer the passport notebook layout over my galaxy
great review I preorderd myself through verizon, and am choosing between this and the vivo x fold 2. I also hope they do add additional elements to the bigger screen. In hopes they add oppos find n split screen implementation. The swipe down with 2 fingers and the screen opens up and you pick a app from the main screen or drawer. Battery is ok since like you i have chargers around me all the time, and I use two phones usually. Question have you had any overheating issues?
Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective! I do hope they add those features you mentioned also. For overheating, I have not had a problem where the phone shuts off on me, but it does get MUCH hotter faster than the Fold 4
@@DavidAVelez1 ahh ok thanks for that information yeah I know the tensor g2 chipset does get a tad warm I had the 7pro and it did get a little nothing too concerning. I appreciate the response on this matter thank you again enjoy your weekend.
As a long time note user that finally changed to using the ZF4, Samsung’s software nuances is what has keep me in their ecosystem. The form factor of the pixel fold and Oppo find N2 are my ideal physical footprint, but sammy have just nailed the software experience on large devices, and throw in the spen experience, I can’t switch. On a side note, have you seen who Honor’s next foldable? Great video as always.
GO BIRDS 🦅 To keep it real with You, ZFold 4 as of today. You can save a few hundred dollars for a smooth (Pixel is a bit more buttery) experience with a bit better battery and more features.
@David.AVelez Absolutely! Watching all of these pixel fold videos is so torturous. I pre-ordered mine through Verizon on the 29th of June, and it won't be delivered until the 18th of July 😭 Verizon was running a promotion that gave me $900 towards the Pixel Fold when trading in my old S21 Ultra. That was an absolute no-brainer for me as I have always wanted a foldable but couldn't justify dishing out that kind of money. I'm so excited!! Thanks for making such in-depth videos of the Z Fold and now the Pixel Fold. I think it time to finally hit that subscribe button 👊🏽
I like the size of the main screen... All Smartphones should have this small size... So convenient to travel... But it must be the best of the best... I want for my next one the zoom 10x optical and stabilized...
Thanks for the honest review, David - much appreciated. The Pixel Fold certainly looks like an interesting proposition, and I love the aspect ratio of the screens... buuuuuut, Google shan't be tempting me away from my Z Fold 4 this time around.
Sent mine back. Cover screen is to wide even though it looks like the same size as pixel pro 7. You have the hinge, thickness, and the weight. My fingers were fatigued quickly. The camera sensors are too small. Yes, it did good for point and shoot, but fell short of the 7 pro. Apps aren't optimized for inner display. The cover screen setup being mirror to the inner display sucks. Android is all about customizing and GF just doesn't let you do it like fold 4. Battery isn't terrible but if you push the phone it'll drop. I was getting about 6 hours of sot. My speakers were worse than the fold 4. Fold 4 has Dolby Atmos and were louder and had way better sound. Then the GF charges very slowly so topping it off throughout the day isn't ideal. Tensor G2 just doesn't do it for me at $1800.
I was able to get the pixel fold for free during my company having a contract with Verizon. Sometimes it's nice to get the hook up. I really enjoy the device as I'm using it as a second phone when I'm away from work. I daily drive An Phone most of the time work for me I'm being that I haven't used Android in a bit. I figured it was a good shot to give the fold a try. I have really enjoyed the device, but to be honest had I shelled out my own money, I'm not sure if I would have kept it past the 30-day trial. There's so many things to like about the phone and I don't really have major gripes, but there are quite a few little things that are not justified by an $1,800 price tag.
Hey, Jonathan! See, this is awesome! I was able to lay out the good and the things that need work, and you were able to still know for yourself that the Pixel Fold is great and works for you. I always say the best device for you is the one that does what you want and need it to do. Enjoy the Pixel! Google did an awesome job and I'm excited for the next iteration!
@@DavidAVelez1 I'm also excited to see where they go with their fold line now. I feel like I never used everything the fold4 offered. So now using the pixel fold I can appreciate it doing the basics right. The battery is really the only problem but like you I am always around a charger. I appreciate the follow up and your content is great!
I have the Pixel Fold ordered, ships tomorrow. But after having had the Fold 2 and now the Fold 4, I may go back to the iPhone 15 this year and just wait another year for some better specs and battery. I can't stand the garbage battery life on foldables. 🙅♂
My 🍑 should be here July 18th! Currently have an iPhone 14 pro max which I will keep as it’s getting traded in for the 15pm in September, unless the pixel can sway by that time.
Hey, Jerry! Sorry if that ruined the experience of the video for you. Which ways was it poorly lighted? I'm not a professional and constantly learning, so I am open to ideas and thoughts
@@DavidAVelez1 The video was so dark overall that features were hard to make out. I subscribe to quite a number of YTers and if a video is dark compared to what I'm used to seeing, it comes from the video and not my phone or computer . Do you watch your vids before you put them up ?
@jerryherndon2615 Oh! That is very interesting! I work on my Macbook Pro (at 50% brightness to keep things even) and also a large monitor that has a uniform mode to output what my Macbook displays and.... I can't say anything has ever appeared super dark on my end. It looks pretty normally lit like other channels (and I haven't had any other viewers complain about it) Sometimes I have darker, moodier shots but overall it seems well lit on my end. I am sorry, though, that you're experiencing that. I imagine that makes it hard/impossible to watch the entire video and probably ruins the experience which is not my intention of course haha. I put a lot of time i to content for you all. I'm really sorry about that, Jerry! I appreciate taking the time to let me know, though.
@@DavidAVelez1 thanks man! I preordered in early June, but it was cancelled a week before it was due to ship. Google gave me store credit for their mess up, but now I have to wait until September since they couldn’t restore my original order.

I'd say the Pixel 7 Pro is an awesome phone, but for $1800 here on the Pixel Fold, it's a hard selll. The Fold 4 is much more bang for buck and can be purchased for less money now
Mine failed after 5 weeks with 10% folded use
Go birds!!! Subscribed
I dont understand how people are getting only 4.5 hours only. I can easily get 7-8 hours screen time with video calls, watching reels, a lil photography here and there, etc
I would love to get a fold phone if i used my phone for more. I do very little on my phone which is why ive a iphone and ipad.
The #1 reason to pre order the Fold was to get the free Pixel Watch. That helped absorb some of that $1800. At least the peasants can't afford it 😂
Hahaha, very true! I actually use my Pixel Watch every day (I have had it since it's first release)
Great point with the value!

I like your videos, but please don’t be like other reviewers and say things like ‘daily driving/daily driver’. It’s not a thing, it’s just an irritating phrase someone used and everyone now just follows.
It’s a phone
Hey, Gamer! I am really happy to hear you enjoy the content!
What do you mean about the daily driver? As in the phone doesn't actually drive? If so, I see what you mean!
I guess I just figured it's such a common phrase (thus I can understand why annoying 😆) that people will understand the sentiment in relation to the device. I hope that makes sense! And I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
@@DavidAVelez1 thanks for the reply. The phrase ‘daily driver’ is a phrase used for cars, and someone thought it would make sense to use it when talking about phones and now everyone uses the phrase. But in relation to phones it’s nonsensical.
‘Main phone’ or ‘everyday phone’ makes more sense. The problem with TH-cam is once 1 person says something, everyone does it and then the originality disappears.
Maybe I’m easily triggered but that phrase just irritates me 🤣

Only need one reason. Way too expensive hence poor value.
The price 😭
🍑 thinking of ditching the iPhone
Ditching the IPhone during Iphone season!?
But understandable, welcome to the Pixel/Galaxy Side 😁
After my experience with the fold 3 these folding phone are not worth the price tag. The technology is still new and with the pirce of the fold or pixel you can get flagship device like S23U or iPhone 14 pro, a tablet, and an apple watch or Samsung watch. With this folding phone price tag the device needs to be good in all departments unfortunately its not. And finally these devices dont retain their value and in less than 6 months they will be mich cheaper
If Samsung and Google would work together imagine what the hardware and software could be
I’m sure they do. It’s just not for sale.
nice
Hi there! 👋 Was the video good for you?
@@DavidAVelez1 yeah i am glad with your content👍keep going with your video and content✌️
You are comparing devices that are a year apart!! If you are going to compare devices wait for the z fold 5 then talk about it 😂…..
Hey, Federico! Hahaha, that's fair! But it's the closest thing at the moment and I had requests for it.
Even so, the Fold 4 wins out in a number of different ways despite the year gap!
So wait until the Samsung Z Fold 5 comes out before you make your choice.
Not a bad idea, honestly!
Using it now, don't buy it. It's terrible.

"Promo sm"
Regarding the fact that you find the screen of the Pixel brighter than that of the Galaxy, either you received a Pixel with ''exceptional brightness'', or it is your Galaxy that has a problem.
And regarding the width of the Pixel when folded, it is not the width of the screen that people complain about, but rather the width of the smartphone itself, which could have been avoided with a less protuberating hinge or even a less wide screen by 3-4mm while keeping the same hinge 🤷🏽♂️
On the other hand, no offense to Google fans, but, Tensor G2 + the borders of the internal screen are inadmissible in 2023 especially at $1800, and for me, a Fold (mini tablet) without pen 🖋, has no interest.
Hey, Rolins! Well the Galaxy Fold has a peak nit brightness of 1,000
While the Pixel Fold is rated at 1,500. I don't always throw numbers at you guys (and just try and relate it to practical use) but I would say in my personal use I notice the brightness difference in direct sunlight. Both are usable, though!
And for sure on the width! I think the width increase is marginal, personally. It feels really good in the hand (but that's purely subjective of course, not everyone is going to like it)
And I agree on the Tensor 😭 Such a premium device, but only Med/MedHigh settings on games is a bummer, and it gets hot quicker than you'd like on an $1,800 device :/
AND NO PEN, YES! GREAT POINT!
@@DavidAVelez1 Regarding the brightness of the Pixel Fold, indeed, the figures announced by Google are higher than those of the Fold 4, but we all know Google at this level, the figures are never related to reality, and all the other testers have confirmed it.
Regarding the width of the Pixel Fold, indeed, it is not necessarily the widest smartphone in the world, but we must remember that 95% of people use a protective case on their smartphone, and especially on a smartphone at $1800, the question does not even arise.

#TriplePeachParty 🍑 🍑 🍑
I get the reasons why google is opting for their own chip but i cant help but wonder how much the snapdragon 8 gen 2 could’ve done for this device not only in performance, but especially battery life
BINGO! I 100%, agree. Battery life would have been assisted tremendously, I imagine.
Hopefully Tensor 3 can step up their game
We will see with the Fold 5 as to battery life but my experience is that the Fold 4 is similar in battery to the Pixel Fold and the Fold 4 is also 4nm TSMC, similar to the SD8G2. The Fold 4 did not have the awful Samsung-made SD8G1 so the improvement from S22 to S23 will not be nearly as obvious from Fold 4 to Fold 5.
I've taken the pixel fold on a trip for 7 days. And I've not been more satisfied with the battery. It has a similar standby discharge rate as my iphone 14 pm. With daily use, by the end of day I still have 20% or more left. And if I don't charge it at night I'm left with 17% in the morning.
#🍑Pixel gonna trade in my S22 Ultra in for it!

I hope the video was helpful for you!
🍑🍑🍑
Joe on the #PeachPatrol 🍑 😆 Do you have one yourself?
Not a peach, but a Pixel 😂
Just got the GPFold and have spent the last 24 hours comparing it to my Z4Fold, and I got to say I been going back and forth between which to keep! Seems the Pixel has this magical buttery flow when your using it, while Samsung is so feature rich.....hmmm which to choose? 🤔
Keep 'em both.
Hahahah, you hit the nail on the head! Buttery UI and animations or featuresets 😩
I personally think the one with the latter has enough of the former that I would choose it instead.
Hahaha, if you have the 💰 💰 💰 This is the way 😆
Im debating between keeping used/renewed zf4 and a pixel 7 pro, or only keeping a new S23U. Leaning towards the former, more fun to play with both OS. Hopefully the second 2nd gen pixel fold fixes some of these issues next year
Ohhh, this is an interesting take! I like your first idea also 😆 Best of both worlds!
I am crossing my fingers 🤞 hard that Google takes a jump with the Pixel Fold 2, they have an awesome foundation here!
Always the 🍑 - the Pixel fold is amazing
Hahaha, #PeachGang 🍑 😂
I take it you're loving yours!
Having used the phone since launch I agree with the reasons not to buy the Pixel Fold. To me those are basic compromises in battery, screen brightness, performance under direct sunlight and outdoors in general. This is not a good phone to use outdoors.
All these basic compromises I feel makes this phone not worth its price compared to last year's Galaxy Z Fold 4 which I had no problems using outdoors. The Pixel Fold is nice to use as a second mobile device but for $1800 but unfortunately does not perform as good as the older $599 Pixel 7 and $899 7 Pro.
Hey dfksijjvjfioewksniwks! 😂
But there is definitely a lot of room for growth on the Pixel! Great foundation, and room to flourish. For like $1,300 I could see it selling more.
I agree $1,300 would have been a perfect price. I see that everyone says $1,800 but I count what comes out of my pocket which is $2,250 for the 512gb with the case and tax. I really love the form factor but it's not worth the price. Samsung gives a lot of discount and incentive to buy theirs. Like the z fold 4 they gave $200 credit towards accessories, huge discount on the galaxy watch 5 pro or free for non-pro, a $1k trade in value plus student discount.
At last someone talking sense about this second rate overpriced device. Do some people simply WANT to be ripped off?.
ZFold4 by Samsung seems more premium and refined. OneUI is great on the Fold4
l've had all the ZFolds but if Google would have come in at a lower (much lower) price point I'd try the Google Fold. To lose the use of my S Pen alone is a deal breaker. I use my S Pen ALOT. Maybe next year Google.....
I think this phone is going to be more meant for those who either really love pixel system. Or those of us who were really into the Duo but disapointed with the software. Im personally excited to get my pixel fold and trade in my fold 4 because of the form factor. It is going to be the best of the surface duo AND z fold. Which most duo fans went back and forth between.
I dont think this will draw in a lot of iphone or regular android users, but mostly those who are die hard fans of foldables AND surface duo as well.
$1800 for a device with second rate specs and big developing distribution problems?. Hell no.
I got it after 1 day I am returning it
Hey, Arthur! After 1 Day 🤣

Seriously, please explain 🤔
@@jaewannjosephright.I wanna know
Just came across your channel while looking for Pixel Fold reviews - enjoyed the video and sub'd. I think I'll wait for next year's version of the Pixel Fold. Had the hardware been more in line with today's specs and not something from two years ago, I might have considered dropping $1800 on it.
actually the fold 4 is more clearer thrn the pixel fold but the pixel fold just get louder the pixel fold is a amazing phone but its not better then the fold at all I would never pick the pixel fold over thr galaxy fold the fold has so many features that take advantage of the galaxy fold inner screen
Good video. Being in Canada, no Pixel Fold. I am sticking with my Fold 4 until I see what the Fold 5 comes with. FYI, have you ever looked at One Hand in good lock? Gestures on it are SO much better for doing things like screenshots, pop window, split screen, pulling the notifications down, etc.
Hey there! Thanks for dropping in! 👋 I am eager for the Fold 5 also! I expect just further refinements than large upgrades, though
YES! Good Lock has been awesome! Yet another bonus in the Galaxies pocket.
Google has a solid foundation, but more room to grow for sure!
Glad i found your channel bro. Love it. Keep crushing it
I had one for about 24 hours and thought it was a ton of fun, until I realized that the plastic of the inner screen has too much friction and the outer screen is too short. I found myself missing using my Pixel 6 Pro. As much as I really wanted to love it, the inner screen fragility and feel, plus the outer screen height and lack of third party app optimization, it just felt like an expensive toy.
Also, this type of device really makes you realize how many websites are optimized for mobile screens and the desktop site doesn't make the difference I thought it would.
Been a pixel user since Pixel 2. The Software has been a reason i will never go back to Apple. I used to be an Apple user but after bricking two phones i bought outright made me go back to Android. I used to have a Galaxy S21 Ultra and it was great but i did have fun with my phone. For the first time i will fork out the money to be an early adopter so we get more and updated Pixel Folds.
That’s wild for $1800 you would expect much more in the battery & software department. Def wouldn’t even consider buying this at all 🚫🚫
I 100% agree with you.
It's a shame, it's overall a great device, but you can buy a Galaxy Fold 4 for less money right now with more features and better battery.
For their first gen device, I really think they did an amazing job. But for that money, I can’t let slide the gripes I have with it like those bezels or deeper crease BECAUSE I already know that other devices have done significantly better to have them not be as present. Not to mention I truly believe a deeper crease leads to more stress on the screen over time, there’s a reason I’ve only seen samsung screen crack along the middle vs any other foldable. Really looking forward to gen 2, they have a good form factor on their hands, yes yes yes to wider outer display, thinness, and gapless closure
Hey, Extra! I agree, awesome job for the first go around.
And also agree that the price is so steep to not have those other complementary features and premium qualities (battery). Especially when Google has all the money in the world to make it top tier.
Fingers crossed for next year!
The only reason you've seen "only Samsung's" crack along the middle is because they are the only Manufacturer selling foldables in all global markets and they currently have close to 90% market share vs their competitors who predominantly only sell in China.
With a far bigger customer base than anyone else then it stands to reason you will hear "more issues" from Samsung users.
If the issue was that bad, Samsung would have done a recall.
As someone who worked in Mobile Telecoms in retail, marketing and repairs across a 15 year period, I can tell you this as fact.
When was the last time you heard anyone complain or post videos about a failing Sony or Nokia devices?
The answer is simple, you can't remember.
Reason why? Both manufacturers have insignificant percentages of market share.
That doesn't mean they have no defects, it just means it will be much harder for it to come across your radar.
G2 is a fundamentally pathetic chip. Not because of the performance or benchmarks but because of how inefficient the chip is in battery, ram management and temperature control. Pixel 7 Pro barely stays cool while opening common apps like Amazon, Mega or Artstation. Those who just gets a phone for making a video will probably won't notice these basic drawbacks.
Hey, Ray! You're 100% right, and I honestly should've deleted a bit deeper into that beyond just the gaming limitations. But I 100% feel the same drawbacks on the 7 Pro. I love that phone in a lot of ways otherwise, but Tensor holds it back.
You'll see in the comments here people asking if the PFold gets hot and I unfortunately have to tell them yes haha. Much hotter, faster, during games and heavy Multitasking with videos and apps (not a ton of the latter in my experience, but I have experienced it)
Thanks for the insight!
I would agree with you on mostly everything you said except on the brightness and sound..
The z fold4 has a Extra Brightness setting that makes it brighter, and the sound settings in the z fold4 for Dolby Amtos make its also sound better..
There is a question I have regarding this device is it dual sim?
Yes it does! At least here in the US from my understanding
Why does it seem like you are making the pixel phone to be a better devic. You can do so much more with the fold four don't even mention dex
Hey there! I am also a fellow Thespian 😁 Well, was. I haven't acted in a while 🥹
But I think I address the Pixel shortcomings pretty objectively! The Pixel Gold got a LOT right, but it's lacking a tin in software (now that you mention it, though, I definitely missed huge by forgetting to point out Dex)
But even in Fold-Centric features, the Fold 4 sweeps for sure
I've been using the Galaxy Z Fold series since the OG one (typing this on the Fold 4). I'm strongly considering it because of that full screenlike front display. I actually use my phone 50/50 open/close so it be great to have a front screen that would be easier to type on! The bezel around the inner display is a little bit of an eyesore but i can forgive it thanks to the higher quality selfie cam. I don't game and I'm not too picky with pictures on my phone so as long as general performance and cam is good I'm really leaning towards getting it. 🍑
I just don't see the point of two forms being two handed. That totally defeats the purpose of the phone. Z fold has it right I think
I've had the fold 3 and 4 and I'm thoroughly enjoying the pixel. I miss Samsung software but I prefer the shape and size of the pixel. I use the outside screen at work and I love it. When I take breaks or have a moment to dive into some content or a book I open it up. It's harder to type on the inside screen and a little more of a hassle to hold one handed open but it's easy to get used to it. I turn if sideways which feels like the galaxy fold. Barely notice the bezels. Took about a week and now it feels more natural. I can give it a thumbs up and recommend it but maybe stick with Samsung and wait for the pixel 2nd generation. Kinks should be worked out by then.
Bro... the TH-cam algo sucks! how am i just finding your channel now??

do you daily drive the fold 4 with a case? if so which one? awesome video by the way
Hi there, Andy!
I actually use the default Fold 4 case from Samsung! Bit pricey, but the SPen slot is great (or being able to swap put the kickstand)
I have the fold 4 now and love it, but will likely switch to the pixel once the second one comes out. I would like to see some of those things get fixed and updated hopefully better battery. But I much prefer the passport notebook layout over my galaxy
Hilarious that there is no real test of its phone characteristics. Silly..it's a phone..
Hi there! Would you mind elaborating a little bit?
Hey, is the pixel fold 5x zoom decent vs zfold4 and vs p7p?
Hi, yes! I have a camera comparison in my video from last week!
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
Cool review👍 you have a weather man voice😁✌️
Hey, Roger! I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed the video!
Hahaha, the voice is all my Mom and Dad's DNA 😂 I can't take credit for it haha
great review I preorderd myself through verizon, and am choosing between this and the vivo x fold 2. I also hope they do add additional elements to the bigger screen. In hopes they add oppos find n split screen implementation. The swipe down with 2 fingers and the screen opens up and you pick a app from the main screen or drawer. Battery is ok since like you i have chargers around me all the time, and I use two phones usually. Question have you had any overheating issues?
Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective! I do hope they add those features you mentioned also.
For overheating, I have not had a problem where the phone shuts off on me, but it does get MUCH hotter faster than the Fold 4
@@DavidAVelez1 ahh ok thanks for that information yeah I know the tensor g2 chipset does get a tad warm I had the 7pro and it did get a little nothing too concerning. I appreciate the response on this matter thank you again enjoy your weekend.
As a long time note user that finally changed to using the ZF4, Samsung’s software nuances is what has keep me in their ecosystem. The form factor of the pixel fold and Oppo find N2 are my ideal physical footprint, but sammy have just nailed the software experience on large devices, and throw in the spen experience, I can’t switch. On a side note, have you seen who Honor’s next foldable? Great video as always.

@David.AVelez Absolutely! Watching all of these pixel fold videos is so torturous. I pre-ordered mine through Verizon on the 29th of June, and it won't be delivered until the 18th of July 😭 Verizon was running a promotion that gave me $900 towards the Pixel Fold when trading in my old S21 Ultra. That was an absolute no-brainer for me as I have always wanted a foldable but couldn't justify dishing out that kind of money. I'm so excited!! Thanks for making such in-depth videos of the Z Fold and now the Pixel Fold. I think it time to finally hit that subscribe button 👊🏽
I like the size of the main screen... All Smartphones should have this small size... So convenient to travel... But it must be the best of the best... I want for my next one the zoom 10x optical and stabilized...
Thanks for the honest review, David - much appreciated.
The Pixel Fold certainly looks like an interesting proposition, and I love the aspect ratio of the screens... buuuuuut, Google shan't be tempting me away from my Z Fold 4 this time around.

Jalen revenge Season 👀
Sent mine back. Cover screen is to wide even though it looks like the same size as pixel pro 7. You have the hinge, thickness, and the weight. My fingers were fatigued quickly. The camera sensors are too small. Yes, it did good for point and shoot, but fell short of the 7 pro. Apps aren't optimized for inner display. The cover screen setup being mirror to the inner display sucks. Android is all about customizing and GF just doesn't let you do it like fold 4. Battery isn't terrible but if you push the phone it'll drop. I was getting about 6 hours of sot. My speakers were worse than the fold 4. Fold 4 has Dolby Atmos and were louder and had way better sound. Then the GF charges very slowly so topping it off throughout the day isn't ideal. Tensor G2 just doesn't do it for me at $1800.
I was able to get the pixel fold for free during my company having a contract with Verizon. Sometimes it's nice to get the hook up. I really enjoy the device as I'm using it as a second phone when I'm away from work. I daily drive An Phone most of the time work for me I'm being that I haven't used Android in a bit. I figured it was a good shot to give the fold a try. I have really enjoyed the device, but to be honest had I shelled out my own money, I'm not sure if I would have kept it past the 30-day trial. There's so many things to like about the phone and I don't really have major gripes, but there are quite a few little things that are not justified by an $1,800 price tag.
🍑 For sure! Loving my pixel fold. Great review and it only reinforced me keeping it over my fold4.
Hey, Jonathan!
See, this is awesome! I was able to lay out the good and the things that need work, and you were able to still know for yourself that the Pixel Fold is great and works for you.
I always say the best device for you is the one that does what you want and need it to do.
Enjoy the Pixel! Google did an awesome job and I'm excited for the next iteration!
@@DavidAVelez1 I'm also excited to see where they go with their fold line now. I feel like I never used everything the fold4 offered. So now using the pixel fold I can appreciate it doing the basics right. The battery is really the only problem but like you I am always around a charger. I appreciate the follow up and your content is great!
I have the Pixel Fold ordered, ships tomorrow. But after having had the Fold 2 and now the Fold 4, I may go back to the iPhone 15 this year and just wait another year for some better specs and battery. I can't stand the garbage battery life on foldables. 🙅♂
My 🍑 should be here July 18th! Currently have an iPhone 14 pro max which I will keep as it’s getting traded in for the 15pm in September, unless the pixel can sway by that time.
This video is too poorly lighted to watch . Surely you noticed.
Hey, Jerry! Sorry if that ruined the experience of the video for you.
Which ways was it poorly lighted? I'm not a professional and constantly learning, so I am open to ideas and thoughts
@@DavidAVelez1 The video was so dark overall that features were hard to make out. I subscribe to quite a number of YTers and if a video is dark compared to what I'm used to seeing, it comes from the video and not my phone or computer . Do you watch your vids before you put them up ?
@jerryherndon2615 Oh! That is very interesting!
I work on my Macbook Pro (at 50% brightness to keep things even) and also a large monitor that has a uniform mode to output what my Macbook displays and.... I can't say anything has ever appeared super dark on my end. It looks pretty normally lit like other channels (and I haven't had any other viewers complain about it)
Sometimes I have darker, moodier shots but overall it seems well lit on my end.
I am sorry, though, that you're experiencing that. I imagine that makes it hard/impossible to watch the entire video and probably ruins the experience which is not my intention of course haha. I put a lot of time i to content for you all.
I'm really sorry about that, Jerry! I appreciate taking the time to let me know, though.
