How about just following Samsung's lead and if you are offering $800 trade in, don't make someone pay $1900 and hope they get $800 back in a timely fashion?
Yep. The fact Pixel phones don't do video out from the type C port is appalling. I went from HTC One M7, to the Pixel 2, to the Pixel 7, and they're getting fewer and fewer features with every upgrade. Would love video out!
Android apps are just sooo bad though. Even the apps that are on both platform from big companies/developers, the polish of the iOS apps are leagues above the Android counterpart. Don’t get me started on the design of smaller/indie apps and the variety of them. Due to my job I rocked both Android and iPhones for so many years and I always loved Android OS but hated most 3rd party apps - which is like 80% of the experience of a phone outside of the web browser and photos app. After a while though I just really became annoyed at how bad Android apps were to the point where I used my Android phone only when I had to and eventually stopped rocking both phones all together.
It could be because I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra but if I owned a foldable phone based off the physical device only I would choose the Fold 6 every time. I like that design specifically. The outside screen is that box square look which I like.
@@elliekim6666 Fold 6 outside screen is too skinny. The OnePlus Open got it right. So much so that Google and Vivo just copied them. Plus the OnePlus Open is down to $1399 with trade in.
The passport size was superior. There's not much point for a square screen when open. Watching movies = thick black bars. Watching vertical videos on social media = thick black bars too. Lose/lose situation. They should've kept the passport size and pushed for software improvements for better compatibility. But at least overall it's still better than Samsung's Fold, I guess.

I am way too deep in the iOS ecosystem to ever consider an Android phone, but this is the first phone from outside the walled garden that I’ve wanted in years. I really hope Apple makes something like this because I would happily shell out the cost of an iPad mini and pro iPhone combined to get it, which is basically the form factor and the price point that this is at.
With the newer iPhones being E-SIM only in the US, it makes it that much harder to switch between Android and iOS. It’ll be a good while before Apple releases a foldable.
I don’t think Apple will ever make a folding phone. Just like they never made touchscreen Mac’s. It’s just got too many compromises for Apple’s brand, which is about consistency and reliability (obviously they’ve had major fuckups in the past, but they usually fix them quietly in successive models, such as the iPhone 6S being thicker after bendgate and the complete removal of the butterfly keyboard).
@@sigiligusYou’re right about their posture, although I think the normal sized iPhone that folds out into the closest thing possible to their iPad vision of an invisible sheet of glass might be interesting to them. The fact that they don’t seem to IP rate any of the iPads or allow you to use CarPlay with them suggests they are only interested in their use as a second device to be used while stationary and indoors where it competes with your laptop, desktop or Apple TV (given that most of what people do on the iPad is consume content and browse the web), so as usual the iPad is stuck in this awkward middle place between iOS and macOS. As a user of the iPad mini, I think Apple could make a great folding phone, but I know most iPad users see the platform trending more toward MacOS than iOS.
Same here. The passport design was perfect and had a great aspect ratio. All they had to do was make it lighter, instead we now have a ton of real estate that we don't actually need for most "tablet mode" tasks ie watching videos, reading, and light multitasking.
@@Lukeor the Open is a way better device, unless you're really concerned about warranty (which at this point would likely be over for the Open, anyways). Get a discounted Fold 5 or trade in for a Fold 6, or just keep the Open until the next Open comes out.
@@nickthaskater I'm sorry, but how do you know that? The phone is barely released now? The open definitely has a better processor, but other than that, the Pixel seems not bad at all.
I wish they'd offer easy battery replacement (removable), then these phones would have the potential to last 7 years. I know they want users to keep purchasing their latest models so won't but it would be nice.
After 4 years you'll have 80 percent battery health with a lithium ion battery now with a silicon carbon battery will last 6 or 7 years and you'll get 75 to 80 percent battery health
Xiaomi one plus and oppo will use honor silicon carbon battery on their next flagship devices meaning it's not worth buying Samsung Apple or Google pixel devices until they'll also switch battery technology
@AvnerTouitou-r7t regarding both your comments, it's why I mentioned a simple battery replacement so battery life would no longer be a massive concern 👍
FINALLY a positive video that doesn’t kill the vibe of a new launch. Most tech channels are so negative they don’t even give us a minute to appreciate the new tech.
Love the refinements they've done, but I don't really like the square aspect ratio of the inside screen. The more iPad-y look of the OG Fold was great in that regard.
The Fold 4 is a better device. If you want to move on, trade in for a Fold 6. It's a vastly better software experience and the hardware is more feature-rich, too.
@@carlbrenda6518yeah going directly through Google would def cost ya, but I'm going through my carrier and they're offering 800 for my pixel 7 pro. So if you have Verizon I would definitely consider it
I really like tge design, wish it had same cameras as pixel 9 pro, dust resistance like Samsung Fold, SD GEN 3 for Pixel and 6000 mah battery. This will be an ideal folding phone.
Oh my. This Fold looks so delicious but it's just so expensive. Still feels like we're a couple of years away from this tech becoming affordable enough for most people.
Google did a hell of a job with their new fold. Still perfectly happy with my OnePlus open. But if I was going to buy a folding phone for the first time today the pixel 9 pro fold would be my choice. At least until the open 2 drops next year.
That's what I'm saying😂 I had a fold 3 and upgraded to the fold 6 and for the most part, I completely disagree with the general feelings towards Z Fold 6 I think it is an amazing phone and in my opinion, still has the best software experience. A fold phone can't offer while being at worst. The third best hardware foldable
Fold 5 to Fold 6 brought a faster, more efficient chip, a better ultrawide sensor, a wider cover display, square-cornered display inside and out, in a thinner and lighter package. What do you mean "not different at all"?
@@nickthaskater not big enough changes though when this fold still has the better cameras, screen size and is even thinner, Sammy needs to step it up they’re getting cooked
@@Isaac-fp1nx I dont see getting cooked. Samsung has a better processor. DXO tested these cameras and Samsung came out on top. DXO is the benchmark, Form factor is subjective. I like the slimmer form factor. People get hung up on the 5 to 6 changes but when someone never owned a fold it doesnt matter. I got my fold 6 because Pixel prices are too high. With Samsung incentives and discounts for students I paid 800.00. If I traded my old phone in for Pixel it would of been 1600.00. Oh BTW does Google replace your inner screen if you break it for 200.00 Samsung does. Lets not talk about Software. I liked the passport format.
My problem with this release is they didn't do anything to make the software better for the fold. Pixel fold has by far the worst multitasking and software to use it unfolded. They didn't show any improvements here. Hardware will only get you so far, software is what brings the experience.
I'd take this form factor with Samsung software, and 5000+ mAh battery. Fix the fundamental flaws with the ribbon cables and display stress-cracking after 6 months, then I'd consider it.
I'm still very curious about whether or not Google has added any new multi-tasking features to this year's Fold. The last one could only run 2 apps side by side. The One Plus Open uses OpenCanvas which lets you quickly swap between multiple full screen apps and the Galaxy Fold (Which handles multi-tasking my favorite way of the bunch) allows you to go all the way up to 3 apps split screen for multi-tasking and floating windows on top of it. I believe the best use case for a foldable phone is for mult-tasking, not to just have a giant phone.
Im the poor man's tech nerd. Pixel 9 pro was released, so I bought my wife the pixel 8 pro. Fold 9 was released, so I'll get the Fold 8 ... Save so much money for good tech. Still gets updates
I feel like I'm the only one who actually thinks the name Pixel 9 Pro Fold makes much MORE sense... This is the "9" lineup of Pixels, the phone has all the "Pro" features and it "Folds". What's not to understand? I think reviewers are too fixated on the fact that this is only the second incarnation of a foldable Pixel, but regular people simply don't care. They care about the "generation" and "form factor" only. Fold 2 would have been confusing to them.
Wow, glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the reviewers fail to appreciate how nice it is that Google standardized the naming of the Fold. Years from now, "9 Pro Fold" is going to tell everyone with even the bare minimum familiarity with the Pixel line exactly where this phone stands in comparison to other pixels. Just calling it the Pixel Fold 2 would only help you compare it to other Pixel Folds.
One thing the reviewers never mention when talking about foldables interior screen aspect ratio is that you can rotate them 90 degrees to get a different experience.
Am I the only one who loves to see single slate phones in the passport format? I tried to write something using my friends phone and was awesome to text on the wider screen.
Its neat but the main display is too small which is why i get the bigger pixel phones and that price tag is way too high. If they made it the same size as the pro XL and it was like $1300, then maybe I'd be interested.
Im really liking the idea of a foldable phone😄 the app function was bothering me when i heard it because i would like them to be full screen. Im waiting to see what Apple has this year, probably no chance for a foldable phone this year but if they ever do im curious how it would be.
People complaining about the price, but samsungs z fold6 is $100 more expensive than this, but this one have better camera, smoother UI, larger and better inner display, 7 years android update, better AI, etc. if you dont like the price and keeps complaining.. no one is forcing you to buy it 😒
This Pixel Fold is really beatifull. It is definitly a better design then the samsung and one plus ones. I think if apple decide to join the folding phones race, they would definitly do something pretty similar to this. I am definitly buying this new pixel if i decide to stay on android in the years comming.
@@dukeonwheels the point is that it's not "amazingly thin" - it's on par with every other foldable already on the market (thicker than some in the Asia markets).
Personally, I think the new phone is too thin when unfolded. Instead of advertising it as "the thinnest foldable" they should have made it a useful thickness instead, and then they could have also not dropped down the size of the battery to as well. I don't understand this obsession of phone companies to make thinner and thinner phones. They are really getting hard to hold properly and feel good in your hand.
There are hundreds of millions of ppl who look at the camera when filming themselves, one quirky guy looking all over the place except the camera isn’t something that needs this kind of social correction
They should have kept it at passport size. Samsung's Fold is on its 6th generation. Why put yourself competing with that while you already had something unique.
Hi mate, is there a desk top feature? I use a mini blue tooth keyboard and mouse but currently have the pixel fold which doesn't have a desktop feature. Have Google managed to add this to this model?
Already ordered mine, but I'm a bit skeptical about the design coming from the OnePlus Open. The bezel on the hinge side seems huge on the 9 Pro Fold compared to the Open. Hope it won't bother me...
What price are you waiting for foldables to drop down to?
$800 sounds reasonable
How about just following Samsung's lead and if you are offering $800 trade in, don't make someone pay $1900 and hope they get $800 back in a timely fashion?

(clears out my ears) did you say $1800? LOL… Good luck with that. Remember the Nexus 5? Ah, the good ole days.
HTC really outdid themselves
HTC's rebound is stale and boring. Coming out from the grave they should have done a better job
Personally, I think the new phone is too thin when unfolded. Instead of advertising it as "the thinnest foldable" they should have made it a useful thickness instead, and then they could have also not dropped down the size of the battery to as well. I don't understand this obsession of phone companies to make thinner and thinner phones. They are really getting hard to hold properly and feel good in your hand.
There are hundreds of millions of ppl who look at the camera when filming themselves, one quirky guy looking all over the place except the camera isn’t something that needs this kind of social correction
I hope the new one won't break as often as the old one😅I've had 4 of them with the exact same problem
I wish Pixel phones also have a similar software lie a Samsung Dex or have a laptop mode
My only concern is the smaller battery from last year. Will the new chip compensate? Again Google misses the bullseye perhaps. Time will tell
Bro threw his height in in case any shorties watching, however unlikely that it 😂
With a phone trade in and a $400 rebate, I'm able to shave off about $630 dollars from the original $1799 price point. So it's not too bad 😊
Same in the UK. £1700 with £560 trade in brings that price right down
Why, was the phone u trading in free?
@@terryd8692 eh, was the phone your trading in free in the first place?
@terryd8692 so £1140 and the £1,500 phone you gave them, so £2,640. Bargain
@@dizzydella1 2 year old Pixel 7 Pro. £560 for that is a pretty good deal I reckon
“…..this is the way…” lol
This looks awesome
Bruh, look at the damn camera when filming...
Right?? Jfc I came to hear about a foldable phone and left angry that eye contact was never made.
Guys, he has a lazy eye
They should have kept it at passport size. Samsung's Fold is on its 6th generation. Why put yourself competing with that while you already had something unique.
Hi mate, is there a desk top feature? I use a mini blue tooth keyboard and mouse but currently have the pixel fold which doesn't have a desktop feature. Have Google managed to add this to this model?
Honestly the coolest looking phone since the OG Samsung fold...
"i just hope the speakers are better".... YOU MEAN THIS ISNT A REVIEW VIDEO!? JFC
Hate the rounded corners, specially when folded.
The price is…*spits milk everywhere*
What?!!?
Poor?
@@LakeNell 🙅♂️🎩🤮🧄🤔🚂
Ordered one. Just because it's the first foldable that looks decent. It's still too pricey for what it is.
who signed this off?? A big channel like the verge could at least use a teleprompter
Just think a minute how awesome this phone could be if Google Stadia still was around :O omg!
Already ordered mine, but I'm a bit skeptical about the design coming from the OnePlus Open. The bezel on the hinge side seems huge on the 9 Pro Fold compared to the Open. Hope it won't bother me...
I'm feeling the same way
@@carriebeary8 yeah, I'm torn. Not sure if I should cancel my order or not.
OnePlus Open is a better Fold
When does the embargo end for this phone, been waiting for a long time now...
The background music is too loud.
Planning to get one...
Im going to stick with my open plus next year leaks for open 2 😅
I hope they come up with a clamshell varient
Every fold looks so unnecessary! i love the flips btw!
Wait, did I have too much to drink or the Verge cheaped out on a hand model and that thumb stood out?
Gotta have it 🎉
Beautiful phone - but, it’s a droid 😂
that passport design is not new, the surface duo had the same design.
Yeah cool cool, but i feel the OnePlus Open will be a better choice
They should've just called it Pixel 9 Fold
"this is the way" which is samsungs design yeah ? 😂😂😂. Fyi the narrow front screen on the new fold is so good
Wait, McLovin is doing TH-cam now?
