Good to hear and I am too. I am finally starting to get back to grind mode like you have been on. Working on another video today, after work. I totally get that Jermaine. I understand price and I also probably have an idea of your reasons.
I totally agree. The first time that I realized the trash that is Tensor was when Android 13s Developer's Preview 1 allowed virtualization to run Windows 11. I was like TTTTRRAAASSSHHHHH. Then they added support for windows, more trash. Seriously, the overating of Tensor and Google needs to stop.
The Engineer drops the BOOM ON EM!! For a first generation Google device, they did well. And I am sure Google is ingesting all of the feedback that’s been put out there. So while I am sure the next one will remedy most of the shortcomings of current, and I can attest to a couple of them, I am still thoroughly enjoying this fantastic device! Loved how you brought out the sarcasmic commentary bro!! This was 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love mine I've had iPhone for the last 12 years. First time trying an Android at first it was a real love hate relationship with it 2 weeks after using happy I made the switch only thing I really miss is iTunes music store
OMG! You had me 😂 After having my Pixel Fold for about a week now, I can't believe those "issues" were anything to talk about. Pixel Fold is great and if they improve it even more it'll easily be the GOAT.
I’m the type of person that doesn’t care about the cameras as much as performance, cellular connectivity, screen quality, & battery life. I also wait until you & the tech community has to say about a device before I buy a device. I’m thinking about getting a work phone & I’m on the fence about the pixel fold or wait for the iPhone 15 pro max to come out.
I'm very pleased with my Pixel Fold. It's been better than the Samsung Z Fold series for me. The outer display is so much easier to use. My first Pixel Fold sat on the UPS truck for 12 hours in 115 degree weather before I got it. I haven't had any issues with the replacement I got. Phone manufacturers and carriers should make sure these devices arrive before 10am or noon, so that these devices don't get fried in extreme temperatures. I've had the same thing happen to a laptop I've ordered as well. UPS and FedEx need air conditioned sprinter trucks. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my purchase!
I am so glad that you like the fold. Yes, either they need to temperature regulate the trailer or make sure they are not sitting in the heat all day. Sorry that you went through it but glad it got resolved.
I was on vacation when you posted this. My reply didn't get through. I am so glad to hear that. It's an incredible device. I am amazed that they got so many things right out of the box.
Went on holiday to the Mediterranean coast, 3.5 hour car trip to destination, 30-35C temperatures throughout the 8 day holiday, sun every day....took a lot of photos., used it for navigation etc etc etc, the whole 9 yards as they say. The only time my pixel 7 felt hot was when I was lying on my back on the beach, holding it above my head against the sun for 20 minutes as I really, really wanted to get a shot of a seagull flying next to some tree canopies🙂 Still took the photos np too and worked normally throughout. Yeah idk, people be lighting bonfires under pixels maybe.
Thank you Aljosa. I will do a very serious video but I need to do a few to address the comments that I am getting. I have been able to use that functionality all the way back since the Motorola G series. People please RMA your phone or step away from the bonfire.
Yeah, the only issues I've run into are with heat and with occasional disconnections on cellular data. The heat is to be expected to some degree when it's that thin and I'm taking a few hundred pictures in mid-80s heat or, in similar heat, trying to run two simultaneous instances of Pokémon GO and UA-cam in a floating window.
Well played sir! LOL. I had to fight my own urge to run to the comments as soon as I saw the video title because I knew there was NO WAY Barry would ever make a video like this. I love sarcasm!
😂😂😂 Hilarious! I'm on my first 3 days of this phone. The bezel is fine. But damn, this phone is the best phone I've ever had. I'll be using the Camera a lot this weekend so we will see how it goes. Great video. New sub!
Josh, my battery life has been great. There were a couple of creators that had issues with battery life that was resolved with the Android 14 beta. Mine doesn't overheat with basic tasks.
Bruh 🤣🤣 this felt like impractical jokers 🤣🤣 I was like not my dawg LMAO. Then I remembered u saying it's in when I get the fold lol. Great video. Get em
That's a question for you. I prefer PixelOS, Color/OxygenOS, OriginOS over OneUI. Although shout out to Samsung for copying the notification shade from ColorOS almost verbatim on OneUI6.
Super Video, ich hatte das Pixel 6 und ab dem letzten Jahr das Pixel 7 pro und war vollends mit allem sehr zufrieden. Und auch deshalb weil sie für mich die besten Smartphones sind, habe ich mir auch das Pixel Fold vorbestellt, und freue mich wahnsinnig darauf. Und nebenbei bemerkt war ich bis vor 3 Jahren noch bekennender Samsung S-Serien Fan (letzte Samsung war das S21 Ultra). Aber die Google Pixel Smartphones haben mich voll überzeugt, und da stehe ich nicht alleine da. Von den Kommentaren lasse ich sowieso schon lange nicht mehr beeinflussen. Es gibt halt viele Märchenerzähler bei angebissenen Apfelfans und Samsungfans, die muss man nicht ernst nehmen! 😉☺
Well put and I am glad that you have been happy. I truly hope that you enjoy the fold. I am not a foldable guy but I love the fold. I didn't think that I would say that but it's true.
I wanted to give this video the thumbs up off the Snoh Alegra alone but you definitely had my ass in the first part. I actually played with the Pixel Fold today and yea its legit. Might try to get one in the future
Awesome video as always, i have been getting the same comments from people talking with them, its usually the chip, the bezels, etc... none of which have ever owned a pixel device or use their phone to their potential besides being on social media. Great video Barry get at em.
@@BarryJohnson right after I uploaded it I forgot to give you a shout out so I put in the description lol but was my first video really talking about a phone on a video really.
Thr king of sarcasm strikes again. This video looked and sounded so good on my Pixel Fold. Ive been impressed and super happy with mine so far. It's only been about 18 hours, but just about every complaint ive seen has been a non issue for me , thus far. I hope that you continue to do more of these style of videos and troll the haters. #pixelfoldgang
I mean, the photo samples look fine enough I guess, but there weren't any pictures of steps for me to know if the cameras are actually good. The fact that you didn't share any poorly composed photos of steps must mean you're hiding the deficiencies of Google's camera. Bias. Be better Barry.
Yeah I get you with the overheating. Thanks to Samsung fab this is an expensive pocket heater or it could be that Google engineers did not quite get the cooling system down pat. TSMC is what Google needs to use for their Chips. Bezels are needed for any tablet/large device. If you pay your propaganda uhhm I mean marketing department a couple of billion dollars, I am sure you could make the public 'love' the bezels and the purpose for them. I sure hope Google does not kill this project after two - three years. I have noticed that if the marketing is slick and persuasive, content creators will fall foul to the "shiny thing syndrome". On a different note, don't you loev how inovative the Fold 5 is. With no gap hinge and the multitasking navigation bar. WOW it is so worth the kidneys and liver that I paid them. 🙄🙄 As always love your take and that you use the device and you would normally then tell us the performance, without giving us specs and stats with "tests", all from the brands propaganda paphlet sorry, uhhm, I mean marketing material. Cheers.
Thanks for the breakdown SloMoJo. I also hope Google keeps it going. We need this competition to keep companies honest. Also, thank you for that last bit. That's what I try to do. I try to put myself in the shoes of the viewer. What can they realistically do with the device in an everyday scenario?
Barry if I tell you the amount of people telling me about over heating, tensor not powerful enough and yada yada yada. I would never buy a pixel again , luckily I own and use them as my daily Do they occasionally get warm on me yes but that has to do with what I do over all. Everything I do on my channel is recorded on a pixel device and I have never had it over heat or warn me when recording a video in 4k. I have had it warn me when I visited my mom when it was 110° and I was outside taking pics and video but that's all it was a warning never shut down ect. Would I want better battery optimization and thermal cooling yes I would always take improvement. People make it sound like the device is unusable and that's just plain nonsense. Great video I didn't believe your gibberish about returning it but had to watch it through just in case I was wrong haha.
See the thing you're just not understanding is that bezels being thick or thin can be the difference between genshin impact (which is one of my work apps) running at 30FPS or 60FPS. Likewise, Geekbench 6 which I have to say is my most vital work app, scores half the points on devices with bezels thicker than 1mm. Shame on you Barry, how dare you spread this misinformation. You know the pixel fold is just an unusable device. Sensors we would've thought were huge 5 short years ago, are no longer usable, for obvious reasons. On a 1/2" sensor it's impossible to get good pictures because it's a smaller sensor than 2019 phones like the LG G8X which had a 1/2.55" sensor. (Obviously larger) When it comes to tensor, I wasn't even sure if I should mention it given how obvious it is, but given the huge percentage of the population who spend 99% of their vital phone usage in geekbench 6, the throttling is a no go. Absolute flop. I can think of no other mobile chip that has thermal throttled ever.
@@BarryJohnson thank you. I forget one thing: this is just logic and reality and anyone who disagrees clearly never used the pixel fold or has done any meaningful work on mobile in their life. This could go on forever 🤣
Shock! Bezels for myself are fine, i don't get why people are so obsessed about it
Jermaine, it's literally insane. How are you doing my friend? I hope all is well.
@@BarryJohnson I am... Alive, how about yourself?
Also btw I would never get this fold myself xD but that has many reasons, including price.
Good to hear and I am too. I am finally starting to get back to grind mode like you have been on. Working on another video today, after work. I totally get that Jermaine. I understand price and I also probably have an idea of your reasons.
Tensor chips are trash and google phones are so overrated
I totally agree. The first time that I realized the trash that is Tensor was when Android 13s Developer's Preview 1 allowed virtualization to run Windows 11. I was like TTTTRRAAASSSHHHHH. Then they added support for windows, more trash. Seriously, the overating of Tensor and Google needs to stop.

I am not sure why my replied didn't get to you Gino. Yes, I had to drop this one on em'.
I absolutely love mine I've had iPhone for the last 12 years. First time trying an Android at first it was a real love hate relationship with it 2 weeks after using happy I made the switch only thing I really miss is iTunes music store
Awesome congratulations! Believe it or not I have seen a lot of positive experiences from iPhone users. Reach out if you have any questions.
Great video, i was about to say What! Barry is returning the Pixel Fold.
LOL 😂😂
OMG! You had me 😂
After having my Pixel Fold for about a week now, I can't believe those "issues" were anything to talk about. Pixel Fold is great and if they improve it even more it'll easily be the GOAT.

Ayyyye, we are on the same page. I am loving it too. Thanks for swinging by Tay.
No problem!!! I always look forward to your insight
Just got my Pixel Fold last weekend. Been in love with it since! I can't believe Google did such a great job on a first generation phone

I appreciate you sir 💪🏽

Sorry about that Frank!
Great video Barry! I wasn't buying into the video title 😉
😁😁😁😁
You got me 😂 If I wasnt all in on the Oneplus Open the Pixel Fold would be my next choice.
Man, v that OnePlus Open is going to be fire. I say that as I type this reply from my OnePlus 11. Looking forward to that drop.
I didn't even consider this because of the bezels
Nice 🙂
Awesome video sir. Glad you don't always listen to the critics.
Ayyyye, we can't GG. Thanks for coming through.
Great Video Barry - Nice One !!
Thanks Jean Michel!
Not gonna lie, you really had me in the first half, Barry.😂

Likewise Rodney, likewise.
