Google Pixel Fold Review | One Month Later...

Reviewing the Google Pixel Fold bendy phone after one month of testing, including a couple of weeks of using it as my full-time mobile. Does the Google Pixel Fold really have the best camera of any foldable, how's the battery life and is it worth that £1749 UK price??

For a first bendy smartphone, this is an impressive accomplishment. That design is different enough from the crowd, while the Pixel Fold also boasts Google's usual excellent camera setup. You can shoot in any conditions and get realistic pics, although The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is best for video.

That performance is similar to the Pixel 7 series, with the Tensor G2 once again running the show. Battery life is generally good for a foldable phone, although the Google Pixel Fold did die before bed on a couple of days with lots of video streaming.

Apps and Android in general still don't always play nicely with a bendy smartphone and that's just as true here. I'm sure this will improve over time but right now the full and split-screen experience on the Pixel Fold is rather borky.

Have you been using the Google Pixel Fold? Let us know below and check out my reviews of other bendy smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (coming soon) and Honor Magic Vs right here!

Thanks mate. I will wait for Pixel Fold 2.
I absolutely love Google take on foldable, but price tag and un-developed app for it are huge let down.

[ucheubani]

I just enjoy listening to you. You really crack me up with your references. Awesome job 👍

Uncle Spurt, where's the classy suit and 1 million subs changes promised?😆

I picked up the Pixel Fold today. I also have the 8 Pro. The Fold is an interesting device. The cover display is fairly comfortable to use. The haptics aren't as good as the 7a, 8 or 8 Pro. When unfolded, it's good but not great. It's not optimized for most apps. I'll see how the battery life is. I wouldn't recommend this for most people. The 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8 and 8 Pro all provide a more familiar factor for most folks. If you're an enthusiast, or you're big into foldables, you'll probably like it. Watching videos on it is enjoyable.

What you call a 'sweary' finger (clever), I call my driving finger, as I it is deployed frequently every time I drive.

Cheers Spurt. I'll be waiting for the next version of this device

Currently using the Pixel 6 Pro and love it. Ordered the Pixel Fold for the Black Friday deal of $400 off. Should be here next week and I can't wait to try it out.

love it Chris - how many euphemisms can you get in one video!!

[camotech]

Nice to have some Uncle Spurt on a Monday ❤

[michaelgeorge]

That phone cost more than my first two cars combined 🤣

[HighIgnition]

As always really nice video, you should do a follow up video after a year to see if all or most of the issues you saw on this review were solved by software updates, even though there's a newer model in form of the Pixel 9 Pro fold!

I came here to praise the choice of Muichiro on the wallpaper 🙌🙌

I never had a problem with heat on mine here in the USA you get it 900.00 Att. and 800.00. You have to turn off adatptive charging in setting and you phone charges faster at 30 watts. If your running andoid 14 beta your getting up 2 days battery running cool all the time. Google tweeks in the software is awesome. The cameras software is best of all foldables hands down. I'm loving using compared to my Z fold 3.
