  • The new Google Pixel Fold costs $1,800 and has five cameras just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. So naturally we had to see how the cameras on Google's first foldable stack up against those on Samsung's 11-month-old Z Fold. And it isn't as close a competition as you might expect.

    As an almost 2 year owner of a zf3 my biggest complaint with this phone is the cameras. They are absolutely terrible and comparable to cameras about 5 years ago on flagship samsung phones. I'm really hoping for some better camera performance on the zf5 when it releases.

    You don't remember whether Fold 4's food mode kicked in, but still continue to compare the photos instead of taking a new one? You also compare 20x zoom against 30x zoom and say 30x zoom would look worse (what a surprise), followed by praising the super res zoom as a combination of hardware, software and AI, which is exactly what Samsung has been doing since thry introduced the 100x space zoom. The bias is just too obvious.

    When an $1800 phone cant play Fortnite for more than 15 minutes without crashing due to overheating but the Galaxy Z Fold 4 can run same game without getting warm it shows overall the power, thermals and battery efficiency are way behind the Z Fold series. The huge bezels and half-baked software give Android Honeycomb vibes.

    Most of these reviewers use favorable language when regarding the pixel fold, which was mostly finished for production in 2020. They delayed it, obviously. Google is the crown jewel in Silicon Valley so I understand using caution when criticizing theirs products. However the Fold 4 is superior in ways, instead of highlighting innovation such as a competitve under display camera, you simply point out the 4mp vs 8mp. Another example is all the reviewers leave the fold 4 in portrait (unfolded) when sidebyside with the Pixel fold giving the impression its better for media consuption. When in reality the samsung has a truly uninterrupted, SMALLER BEZEL display. It's seems disingenuous is all I'm saying.

      Yep traded in my Z Fold 3 for an S22+ and eventually just a plain S23U. People will convince themselves that they will use the inner display but once you open your phone (which is a pain in the butt) you literally need to sit by a charger because you can kiss your battery good bye.

      Hate it if you will, but the experience is great if you use it.

    I've used 5 different folding phones, I think Foldables are the next form factor given the use cases that folding allows. We need some advances in materials science and battery tech to help increase adoption of this form factor. For me the Pixel Fold's form factor/hardware and US software wins out over the current Samsung Fold package.
    I also prefer the Pixel color science

      While I would usually agree, the Pixel series has always been known to have excellent cameras (usually always regarded as one of the, if not THE, best cameras in the industry). Outside of Samsung’s Ultra series, their cameras in their other phones have always been considered good, but not the best. Their recently released mid-tier phones (A54) apparently has comparable cameras to their S23 and S23 Plus... which means it’s probably comparable to the Fold 4’s. So yeah, I could see why the Pixel would win this camera war. Rumor has it that the Fold 5 will use the same cameras... wish they would at least upgrade to the S22 Ultra’s 108 MP camera (if not the Ultra’s 200 MP lenses)... oh well. Maybe next year...
