Pixel 9 Pro Fold Review - The Best Foldable?..My Honest Thoughts After 72 Hours!

This is my first ever Pixel Foldable and I honestly can't believe how much I love it, using it for the past 72 hours I have a lot of things to say about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, so let's dive into it.

Enjoyed the video. I do have to correct you on one thing though… The Z Fold 6 and the Pro Fold have the same water protection rating. The Z Fold is IP48 and the Pro Fold is IPX8. The first digit is in regard to dust protection and the 2nd digit is water protection. The Z Fold has 4 for dust protection, which means it protects against “dust particles over 1mm in size”, which doesn’t sound like much of a dust particle to me. The Pro Fold doesn’t offer any dust protection. But, they both have the same scores and protection from water.

I saw you on Twitter and now you're on my YouTube recommended

I always maintain that nobody can do more than one thing at a time effectively not to talk of three. I think multitasking generally shouldn't be more than doing two things at a time.

Man i love this phone!! smooth and snappy! Got rid of my Z Fold 6

Just got mine. Was nervous going to a fold for the first time but I gotta say this is a game changer... I love it.

I loved it, and gave it back in 10 days. It Bluetooth is crap. Lost connection to my hearing aids, lost my Bose head phones at 6 feet, regularly lost my car's music system.
Google 9 Pro Fold Bluetooth problems.

Have this phone, love this phone. It may be my favorite phone I've ever had

Good review - so many kept focussing on specs rather the actual experience!

[montanaboom]

Got mine a few days ago... So far, lovin' this phone!

You need to add a correction caption for the waterproof rating section around the 6:50 mark.
Both the Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold are IP X8 rated, that means they can both be submerged in up to 1.5m of water and deal with jets of water.
The IP4X rating on the Galaxy just means the hinge is rated for dust ingress up to 1mm in size. That means it's only dust resistant against large 1mm+ debris, but useless against fine dust.

Neither should be submerged for long and neither are resistant to fine dust.

nice vid! how did you remove the google search bar ? tnx

[jimmyfiredragon]

First ! Great Video So Far Man ! Hope You Keep Up The Great Work !

[jebaker]

I found the hinge to be excellent and zero fingerprint issues. I wonder if you got a banged up unit. 🤔

I literally just picked up mine an hour ago from my local best buy about an hour away from you and just watching some reviews before opening it as I already have a p8p so not sure if going to keep both phones or the try out fold and if not at least get the free year of Gemini and then return the fold and get p9p xl

The overall difference between the pixel 6pro and this chonky boi is night and day from using it so far i am really impressed

Good initial review. Can’t disagree with any points as a pixel 9 pro fold owner.

[Ace]

Do you have a good recommendation for a case for the fold 9 pro?

[akshatmathur]

I have heard that the wireless charging coil is off center. Can you comment on it?

[emanuelneiconi]

Great review. It all comes down to personal preference. I absolutely love my Fold 6 and for me it's a better device overall. I also prefer the boxier look. Hoping for Fold 7 to be a wee bit larger and then it would be perfect to me!
I love competition for sure!

3:45 it's not just multitasking, it's things like app scaling, too. Pixel Fold also lacks any sort of reachability for one-handed use. Pixel Experience is awful on a large screen. I really wish reviewers would stop glossing over this, instead incessantly praising Pixel Experience's "smoothness".

6:40 that video was a jittery mess.

7:45 you're probably the only person in the world saying the Pixel Fold is one-handable and the Z Fold isn't. That is almost unanimously touted as the Z Fold's biggest strength as a result of its form factor.
