Buy the Pixel Fold for $1449 RIGHT NOW!

[baddad]

I love my Pixel Fold the software experience, the cameras plus the updated changes very nice.

For me coming from Apple since the Z fold 3, the Pixel fold is the closest thing to Apple's OS so im sticking with it. Yes other devices are better but Pixel software experience for me is 🔥

Traded my pixel fold for the OnePlus open and I couldn’t be happier. The OnePlus open makes the pixel fold look like a beta project and I’m a big pixel fan.

Great video as usual. I'm STILL struggling to decide between the Open and Pixel Fold. Right now, I'm back on my Open and loving it but, at some point, I'll long for the pure Google experience again. 😂 Can we get these two phones Frankensteined together?!

I've just taken the plunge into the folding phone world. Gone from pixel 6 pro to this. It's amazing and I love it. The thing that's stressing me already is keeping it clean on the inside, good to see in your video that it's stronger than it looks. Dust and lint gets everywhere!!

I've got mine coming tomorrow and I'm super excited so it was really great to watch this and hear that after 6 months it's better than it was.

Great long-term review Shane, I completely agree with every sentiment. This phone was decent to good when I got it, and glad I held onto it, it's only getting better! Surprisingly, only damage is that microscopic pitting on the bezel, all screens are good! Can't wait for Google's next iteration!

Also night video is a bit too noisy, maybe it can be fixed in an update?

[VTheGuerrilla]

I agree 💯. I have all 3 foldables and the Pixel is my go to.

I personally still think it's the oneplus. I've loved the device since it came out, almost all reviewers love it too. You could see other companies kinda panic when it came out (samsung) and how some have added a permanent $300 discount for any device trade in (Samsung). I think the device has really set a new bar for foldables to complete with, and like you said, has become a rising tide in the hardware and multitasking department.

Nice timing, picking a fold up tomorrow! Had a Z Fold 4 for a time but it was unusable due to the outer screen size. Nice to see it wears well and that DB skin is gorgeous. Changing from a Xiaomi 13 Ultra and yes. I will miss the camera ....

Hi Shane, I also love my Pixel Fold! Now with the QPR1 update everything seems to work much better! With all the good new stuff!! I always simply love Pixel phones! Together with the Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds Pro I'm very happy!

Been daily driving the OnePlus Open for the last week, and I'm shockingly finding myself missing the Pixel Fold and I'll probably go back to it soon. The fit & finish of the Pixel Fold just feels more refined and premium, and I really do love the smaller/shorter form factor. Big one for me too is that while the lack of crease on the OnePlus Open looks and feels great, the anti-reflective interior screen of the Open (which I originally loved) now just pops a little less for me than the shiny interior screen of the Fold. The Fold just feels like a cozy phone, and I miss it!

As someone who works with email, excel, and a web browser, one plus multi tasking is really appealing to me. But the form factor of the fold seems great. Have you done a video comparing the two for a work setting??

I'm late to this game; ordered my Pixel Fold yesterday and it should be with me tomorrow... Needed a new business mobile as can't lose my iPhone 14PM due to having an AWU - But going to set up the Fold tomorrow and run it as my daily for a while and see how I get on.

All thanks to your videos I made this decision; it looks a superb phone & I'm a huge Android fan (still have my Pixel 4XL that I've had since brand new)!

I've ordered the Spigen screen protector and Slim Armor Pro case, which landed today, and already I'm excited as that width feels superb in my shovel-like hands!

Think I'll do an unboxing video and review as soon as I've got it up & running

Cheers 👍🏼

I decided to move to the Pixel Fold from my very old iPhone X, and I don’t regret a single aspect of that decision. I would have gone with the OnePlus Open but decided to go with the stock Google interface instead. I’ve owned stock Google phones before and I’ve been very happy with them. I’m looking forward to seeing the next iteration of the Fold.

I used to be a super die-hard samsung fan for YEARS. Im talking going way back to the Note 2 and every subsequent version. Never tried a Pixel and used to have a Fold 4. After using Pixel Fold for about 3 weeks, I am in love . From screen to the bouncy ness of the software of how smooth it is is incredible . I use kindle app and this phone is basically meant for reading amazingly well.

[kavinab]

Thank you for still talking about this amazing device. Alot of big tech youtubers seem to have got gotten this phone exists and not spoken about the software improvements since launch

[stevelitchfield]

Good summary and I agree with everything. The Pixel Fold will just keep getting better and better, if I know Google and its Feature Packs. And, in theory, those top/bottom dual cams should last longer than the more intricate Samsung and OnePlus hinge systems...
PS. Bezels are fine, as you say. I gives you slight more grip-ability of the opened out device.

Shane I feel like we are on the same phone journey. Blackberry, Both Duo 1 & 2 and now the natural successor (kind of) in the Pixel Fold. We seem to have the same urges in the phone world. As always thank you for your videos and regular updates on the devices we (odd balls/nerds) love.
