4800mah just wont cut it. I'll be interested when they can squeeze at least 6000mah inside these foldables

Anonymous, 10 May 2023Youtubers will be calling best foldable, while clients will... moreTrue. Best is.to ask users in the real world how it works. Not youubers, instagrammars or tech site writers.

Don't much care for the design. When it comes to foldable phones, software and UI are what make the difference. But having said that, the Pixel Fold's top and bottom bezels are rather hideous.

Anonymous, 10 May 20237,95cm wide. Too big. Awful ratio chosen. Even the upcoming fold5 is 6:5 aspect ratio for inner screen, if I remember correctly.

People are saying, just wait for V2 or V3. Maybe I will. First generation products mostly suck. And you pay the most for them that might be filled with bugs. Let them refine it a couple more times.
My biggest concern is if I wait...What if it gets bigger and bigger like the Z Folds? I've read last year that the Oppo Find N3 to be released this year will only get bigger. Oppo may never return to the size of the first two gens.
Maybe I'll wait for V2 or V3. I felt Pixel peaked at Pixel 2 XL and 3 any way. But I do hope they maintain this size for a couple more generations. I think that would be cool if Google offered us free Google Photos uploaded in OG quality for life like they did to Gen 1 Pixel owners.
I think first gen owners deserves a perk like that again and not be used as guinea pigs for Google's beta products. They're paying so much upfront when Pixels are known to hit rock bottom prices in 6 months since they have terrible resale value.
Can pick up a Pixel Fold for $800 in perfect condition from OfferUp by December. I saw a Pixel 7 go for $300 only a few months after release. That's half of its MSRP. Pixels are the cheapest to buy from sites like OfferUp or Mercari since nobody really wants them like people who want Apple or Samsung.

Anonymous, 10 May 2023I think it is funny ppl always blame samsung for 8xx chips.... moreI assume that you know little about the semicon industry. I am more than happy to educate you that most image sensors are ANALOG and analog doesn't need cutting-edge process. You are comparing apples and oranges.
and for the memory, it's the same. CIS, MEMS, Flash, RF, they need different processes. Samsung fkd up with logic process. Same factories? Maybe, but definitely different lines.

It's strange that the periscope camera only has 10.8 megapixels. For example, they could have chosen at least a 16 megapixel sensor.

The more I see the Pixel Fold, the more I like it. Would get it in white as I enjoyed the silver iPhone X I had with a clear case before selling it after 3 months because battery life was so bad. I need to wait another 6 months to get the Pixel Fold at half the price or so. No way I'm paying $1,800 for this. I'm still paying off my Flip 3 from 2 years ago for another year.
Google needs to push for trade-in deals. The reason I like it is because it's small when closed like a Find N and N2. The big bezels don't really bother me. I'm hoping Zvelsiem makes a faux leather case for it. Covers the hinge completely. I really enjoy the feel of their cases. They're usually out of stock with their Z Fold/Flip cases.
On AT&T, they're very selective with which phones working on their 5G network, so I can't import an Oppo Find N2 or vivo X Flip. My only foldable choices are really from Samsung and maybe Motorola. At least Pixel Fold offers a different alternative for those who don't want Samsung. This is really what the Surface Duo 1 and 2 should've been.
This Pixel Fold was delayed for nearly 2 years. It was supposed to come out in late-2021 but Google focused pushing the Pixel 6 series more. I guess it was worth the wait like Top Gun: Maverick.

Since this is the most expensive in the Google mobile phone line up, it would have made more sense if it debuted a new CPU before the 8/8 Pro

Google is everywhere but their phones are not available anywhere outside rich nations. Can you not offer them via 3rd party authorized distributor or telecom carriers or even online availability?

If Google was trying to compete with the Royole Flexpai for the world's ugliest and most awkward foldable, they succeeded.

This is worth 1050 or 1100 best. Basically two Pixel 7 Pros merged into a foldable. Tecno Phanton Fold better and cheaper at cost of UI

Anonymous, 10 May 2023Because phone companies like to decide what size, design or... moreThey do not. They know what sizes sell more, then eliminated the least sold sizes. Just like iphone 13 x 13 mini sales ratio was 7:1 ..

AnonD-546724, 10 May 2023Y’all must understand, while bezels whiners are laughable, ... moreLiterally nobody cares about this stuff anymore. All flagships perform the same, i can't tell the difference between exynos 2100 or snapdragon or whatever. What does bother me about this device is the outdated design compared to z fold 4
