Google Pixel Fold 6 Month Review

[TayWTech]

I wanted to add that I use the Inner-Display at least 60% of the time.

Such a well spoken guy and such a well made video. Why is it always the quality videos with little views. Glad youtube recommended this though

[BeesonsCars]

Subscribed not even 5 min into the video. You're incredibly well spoken and easy to follow along with. Keep up the work!

[leviandhiro]

The fact you dont need to open the phone as many times as the fold5 really helps the hinge longevity

Hey Springfield! I'm from Portland actually, so it's cool to hear we have other mobile tech nerds out here haha

[brianbryant]

Thank you for the great review. I purchased a pixel fold and have been watching different videos for tips, tricks, updates, etc. Yours was very informative. Plus, you have a great speaking voice--very clear. Great work.

I really like your video bro. Nice to hear an honest take from a real user and not just someone who used the device for a week and moved on.

[DannySilvester]

This is such a good video, I enjoyed it from start to finish!

I’m now a subscriber and I’ll be looking forward to more of your videos 👌🏻

[xerxestheii]

Been on the fence about what foldable to get coming from an S23 and this sold me! Just bought a pixel fold for $800

[everestsdriveway]

I think this was a great review, I got one for like 900 in total on eBay used. Love the thing!

[johnwoods]

Great video! Love how grounded your content feels. Looking forward to more videos

[denischiosa]

used Pixel phones in the past, but now I have a Flip 5 because I love to try new tech, and, I miss Pixels simplicity a lot :) . Wish that google has a pixel flip in the works

[HelgaZZr]

Excellent video and very eloquent, as most other commentators have mentioned.
Your employers dare not fire you for your videos.
On the basis of this one at least they are impartial and informative and would reflect well on your employer and would encourage me to become a potential customer...if i wasn't a Scotsman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 living in Madrid, Spain! 🇪🇦

New sub here. Just got my Pixel Fold today. Love it

I have become a Pixel Fangirl. I bought the original Pixel, upgraded to the 3XL, upgraded to the 6, and just upgraded to the original Fold yesterday. Ease of use is a 10 with the Pixel line of smartphones, plus i really like the GUI, and 'it just works.' I also have a Pixel tablet.

This is a very expensive device for me and I will treat it with great care. I bought a good protective case but will also pay attention to make sure I do not drop it.

Battery life is awful. I also got a good bundle deal on the Pixel Buds Pro but soon realized I need to turn off Bluetooth when not using them because of the battery drain. Also turned off Adaptive in the Display settings so the phone does not try to run at 120 Hertz. Just those two changes greatly improved the battery drain rate. High refresh is great but I am fine with the lower settings.

I know there will be many improvements when the next generation of the Fold comes out but 1) didn't want to wait that long; 2) like the form factor on this original Fold and am not confident the next one will keep the same measurements/ratios; and 3) I usually upgrade after 3 or 4 years, so the remaining time for system updates/upgrades for this original Fold is still enough for me.

Also, I really like fingerprint biometrics and 3-button navigation and would hate to wait only to find out one or both of these are being phased out. Example: where is my headphone jack? where is my SD slot? where is my removable/replaceable battery?

I still have a lot of setup and tweaking to do but I have great hope I will still be happy with this Fold a year from now. And two years. And three years. 👍

Thanks for the long-term ownership review. I feel like when you use phrases like "okay so the next disappointment is..." when describing a $1800 device...well that kinda speaks for itself. You shouldn't have any major gripes with the phone for that price. Period.

[brukkakefriedshrimp]

Know I'm a bit late on the video - I'm looking for a foldable phone to replace my work phone (company pays the bill, so price isn't an issue). In hand, I like the Google Fold way more than I like the Galaxy one (the Galaxy feels like I'm holding a candy bar). In that situation, would you jump on the Pixel Fold or wait for the new one (potentially) coming in the next few months?

[kevinpoinsett]

I'm dead after you jump cut to the charging cable wrapped around the phone 😂

[JosephWall]

What would you say about getting a used one for like $800? The Fold 2 is coming out soon enough, and I figure that as long as the inner screen doesn't break before that, Google should give back at least $800 on trade-in for this thing right? Then I get to use a Fold 1 for a few months and get my money right back out of it for a Fold 2 with a warranty and a protection plan. That's the dream, anyway.
