Except they released info on it like a week ago, and showcased it at io earlier today. Not to mention Google sent him this phone to show off and review. So him being able to show it, is because Google allowed him to do so
I have 0 issue with the wider bezel on the inside screen. Especially for a large display it's nice to have a little space to hold on to without blocking the screen
Completely agree. I don't understand the attitude regarding bezels. I have thin fingers but nothing bothers me more than apps having an anxiety attack because I'm trying to actually handle the phone or pass it to someone.
Looks like what the duo should have been. Shame Microsoft pretty much abandoned the device. But I always loved the form factor. I've used a fold forever, but these dimensions are what I loved about duo. So this is a day one purchase for me. Easy choice. Just hope that the kindle app automatically defaults to the two column (two page) mode like the duo did. That's going to be an IMMEDIATE buy if it does. Can't wait for more reviews.😊
@@liamfeatherstone924 They did bring the Duo 2 to market, but it looks like it is only available from resellers now. Or you can no longer buy one directly from Microsoft's own store at least.
I find it just a bit frustrating that Lewis and many other UA-camrs are basically ignoring the Surface Duo 2 and the fact that the Pixel hinge is practically identical to the Surface Duo 2. They are acting like no other device has a hinge like this, but Duo 2 did it first and technically better as it is a 360-degree hinge compared to the 180 on the Pixel. I wish Microsoft would have come out with a Surface Duo 2 with an outer display. That is the only thing other than a headphone jack and micro SD card slot that the Duo needs to be crowned the foldable king. :(
Dare I say it but I actually like the fact it has bezels. This is one case where they not only perform a function, but actually look really good as far as the software and look of the phone all come together. I think it's really well designed.
I like how they brought back the gray/silver finished color similar to the Nexus One. It was a must have phone at the time due to it being one of the first smart phones to break the 1Ghz CPU barrier.
Remember how the Nexus One didn't have "pinch to zoom" at first, because Steve Jobs was so mad that someone else dared release a touchscreen smartphone and was threatening to declare "nuclear war" (legally speaking) on Google? And it had a little trackball?
Google nailed with the form factor. Kinda like a throwback to those old 16:9 ratios, which comes in very handy in "smartphone mode". With Google doing the software work Im quite confident the Pixel Fold will take the foldable experience to another level.(at least for their formfactor). Bezels are a bit big on the interior screen but otherwise I love it. Also looking forward to Android 14 as it will bring major improvements for all foldable users(to some extent).
@@GroteGlon sometimes I wonder if we need all of the screening for the contents and gets lost when you’re watching UA-cam or Netflix or any kind of media watching that we do which is gonna be black bars anyways

I'm sure folks who like a wide phone will appreciate this. I appreciate the narrow form factor of the ZFold. I can text with one hand, feels good in the hand etc. So I guess everyone can be happy now
I loved the Microsoft duo but had to abandon it due to the software just failing all the time. Loved the hinge and the thinness. This seems to be close tl that but i imagine the software to back it up. I put in my preorder
I preordered the fold. I have very high expectations from this phone. I’ve used the z fold 4 and the only reason I returned it is because the front screen didn’t make sense and I end up using the front screen a lot. This form factor really appeals to me
@@lanerosalyn6815 I am 100% with @hardyanjan121986 on this one. I've had the Fold 2 for three years, and the single most frustrating thing about it is how narrow the outer screen is, because we don't want to have to unfold it for every little thing. I've got some pretty chubby digits, so texting or emailing on the outer screen is pointless, but it doesn't have to be if Samsung would give the Fold some Note-like dimensions.
The pricetag is a big disappointment. Only 3 countries get the pixel watch bundled with the phone in this price tag. Other countries where their currency is already weak due to rising $, other brands won't be worried as their prices are lower. Hopefully Google can slash their prices quickly in coming months.
As expected weve seen the unboxed phone on the first frame of the video! I like this channel for this! Other UA-camrs will take a lifetime to unbox a new product
I want to see how the Pixel Fold will do against the Z Fold 5, Oppo N3, Vivo X Fold 2/2 Plus, Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 3 and Honor Magic V2 later at a very expensive price for the specs it carries
I'm super excited for this I'm absolutely a Pixel Fanboy, and even though this ain't being offered locally, Google has omitted it from Australia's 🇦🇺 Google Store, I'll no doubt be importing one 👌.
Really interested, hope battery life holds up. The form factor is exactly what I wanted from a foldable. Only minus are the big uneven bezels on the inside to be honest. Hope this isn't too distracting in everyday use.
This is the phone I've been waiting for to finally get me to switch back to Android. The pixel 4 XL was the best phone I ever had. I've been wanting a fold for awhile, but I'm not a big samsung fan. Pixel however... I can get on board with this
Yes! loved my pixel 4 XL i used that phone until it literally gave up and wouldn't boot anymore and tried other phones and eventually came back to a pixel 7 pro.

Always an android guy, but my 3A XL was the best phone I've ever owned. Went back to Samsung on my Note20 Ultra 5G, pre-ordered my fold and I'm over the moon to be back on a pixel device.
Good that you didn't. I had 10 iterations of iphones and never had issues or broke it. I went and bought 3 versions of Samsung phone for the last 4 years and each broke one way or another. I'm on a pixel now.

@@dadsofgaming5118 the big one is visual voicemail. Samsung claims to do it but never seems to get a transcript. IDK maybe it's the combo of Samsung and Google Fi
@@dadsofgaming5118I recently got a s23 ultra and definitely miss quite a few pixel features although the ultra is a better phone, for one the always listening feature is extremely useful especially as a music lover, Google's voice to text is so far ahead of any other device it's crazy, I'm sure there were a few others that I miss too
Im so proud of the google team and how much theyve achieved over a short time. Keep in mind google made the most legendary comeback with the 7 pro, thier second flagship. They failed with the 6 series, they listened to the audience, and fixed everything with the 7 series. Not only that but immediately after came out with a fold and a tablet. What a legendary company man😂😂😂
Legendary comeback? Really…let’s see it drop without mass issues first. We have to remember this is a 1st for them. Samsung still has a few issues on their 4th version.
They fixed the biggest problem of the galaxy fold, and that was the small narrow screen in folded form, was unusable for me because of that, this is WAY more practical, however the price is way higher than I expected....🤦♂️
For me the best foldable is the Microsoft duo. Two separate screens with the minimal hinge down the middle. A lot better than any foldable generic screen.
@@uwont4gitme I have had two separate folds and two surface dou #1 and #2. The Duo 2 is a solid device, it is the only two productivity first driven Android device on the market.... That being said they are not continuing the item as it was originally imagined so the pixel fold is where my dollars are going.
As I watch this review on my Samsung galaxy Z Fold 4. I think I'll wait for the Z Fold 5 comes and and pass on first Gen Foldable phone. I'll definitely check Googles Fold phone out at the store. It don't look to bad.
This looks incredible. A considered approach and a great 1st shot at a foldable. Unfortunately I’m insanely deep in the Apple ecosystem, so hopefully they build one soon! I really want this!
There are rumors of apple making a foldable not sure if it's confirmed but some rumors are around but they say it won't happen if it happens won't happen till 2025 who knows tbh it's all rumors but I'm intrigued by apples take if they do it
I think Google took a step back on the inner display design with the bezels.. it reminds me of the old portable DVD players or the old flat screen TV with the bezels.. I will stick with Samsung or go with the Xiamoi Mix fold 3..
You seem to be excited for basically the same features found on folding devices prior. While the form factor ratio is much usable IMO when closed, a lot of features have been done before. We should just be excited that the folding market in the US has competition.
Such a great review. I preordered mine! I appreciate how you have been loyal to the google brand during the ups and downs beta life like most of us. Unlike some channels (cough mkbhd cough Neistat cough) that ran to apple the first chance they got.
Mini laptop with RTX 3080 laptop price. He’s really a good salesman..had me thinking about buying this which is something at this price point, I normally would have avoided the pitch like it was a timeshare! A real likable character. In person he’d be a sales beast for sure. I love the way he shows the camera comparison to the 7pro but what you see is how good it looks next to their current flagship. Didn’t do a comparison to the fold 4 which is a very nice looking product. A + sales job. The only problem he’s got is that the product is worth half the asking price.
I've been using the Z fold 3 for a quite a long time now. I skipped the Z fold 4 because it just didn't seem like it was worth the upgrade. The chinese (or where ever) foldables have that very inticing wide fold over samsungs thinner fold, and I've always wanted that on a phone based out of the U.S. I'll probably pick this up when (if) the price ever drops.
The thin front screen has always been my biggest issue with the fold. The fold 4 has made that outer screen more.... acceptable, but it's not perfect. The pixel looks like what I loved about the duo paired with why I keep using fold. Like they had a baby. I will be buying it.
Google needs to really learn how to create a very reliable and clean phone before they go into making a folding phone. Their normal phones have enough issues already.
@@macmanmpls i know siri is dumb, i had the 14 plus then i switched to the fold 4 but i really want to try the thrully android software, not the samsung skin. Pure android
I'm so sick of all these folding phones coming out with no headphone jack.I want a folding phone but I don't want one that does not have a headphone jack
I do think that the form factor is much better than the competition, but I don't think they're going to disrupt the market as much due to the crease sticking out in the unfolded mode. Apparently Samsung have fixed the crease in the up and coming galaxy fold 5 but we'll see!
Why is the bezel unacceptable if you watch a movie or UA-cam or anything on any foldable phone you’re going to have a black bar someplace which is like a bezel.
@@guadalupe8589 Its much better to sacrifice a relatively more comfortable grip (its not like the thin bezels are unbearable, they are still very viable) than to lose the significant amount or 'polishness' of design
@@gparizek156 Its about the design, how monumentally better the thin and most importantly - the symmetrical bezels look compared to this forehead and chin and even thick side bezels, ruins the entire aesthetic department , thin and symmetrical ones look extremely better when you just look at them, let alone the process of using the device. Device is intended for much more than just media consumption, your argument is extremely inferior
absolutley buying this after diving into videos for a couple days. its just the exact size i want plus all the features and things i want to use it for is what i wanted samsungs fold to be. price is steep but hey what foldable isnt expensive.

Didn’t do a comparison to the fold 4 which is a very nice looking product. A + sales job. The only problem he’s got is that the product is worth half the asking price.
… with the price of a 4090
I've been using the Z fold 3 for a quite a long time now. I skipped the Z fold 4 because it just didn't seem like it was worth the upgrade. The chinese (or where ever) foldables have that very inticing wide fold over samsungs thinner fold, and I've always wanted that on a phone based out of the U.S. I'll probably pick this up when (if) the price ever drops.
Google Fi offers $700 off with their service
I'm sure it will. Google phones always go on sale.
Who needs this. Buy an iPad. Whats this, like $1000? Hahahah $1800 I had to google that. 😂😂😂
I think the aspect ratio here makes more sense than the z fold's 🤔
The thin front screen has always been my biggest issue with the fold. The fold 4 has made that outer screen more.... acceptable, but it's not perfect. The pixel looks like what I loved about the duo paired with why I keep using fold. Like they had a baby. I will be buying it.
Needing 2 hands when folded and unfolded? Lol. Whats the point?
Google’s metaphor with the wallpaper. Wings, folded.
Google needs to really learn how to create a very reliable and clean phone before they go into making a folding phone. Their normal phones have enough issues already.
Yeah. I can already feel the massive mess this phone is going to be.
I've never had a pixel, what sort of issues do they have?
No issues with my Pixel 7?
I just got a Pixel 7 Pro 3 months ago. NOW I want a Pixel Fold. I'm really happy with the Pixel 7 Pro. I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Howdoyoulike the software?
@@johnnygoni7402 I like it. Does what I need to do and WAY smarter than Siri.
@@macmanmpls i know siri is dumb, i had the 14 plus then i switched to the fold 4 but i really want to try the thrully android software, not the samsung skin. Pure android
I'm so sick of all these folding phones coming out with no headphone jack.I want a folding phone but I don't want one that does not have a headphone jack
Loving the new set
Simply the Best folding phone right now, no doubt
Really nice case you have for the Pixel Fold
This is like I imagine how the Microsoft surface duo 3 should be.... Nice
Wish pixel fold has an s-pen like feature.
⭐️*⭐️*⭐️*⭐️*⭐️
I love the pixel 7 pro. I returned the s23 ultra for this phone and I don't regret it at all.
I do think that the form factor is much better than the competition, but I don't think they're going to disrupt the market as much due to the crease sticking out in the unfolded mode. Apparently Samsung have fixed the crease in the up and coming galaxy fold 5 but we'll see!
And HUGE bezels
@@giovannirattin5884yall are whining too damn much about the bezels.
@@giovannirattin5884 the bezels really aren't an issue
Who gives af about a line down a screen that u barely can see lmao. Its a line
@@b2bgood870 Its the small things that matter when buying something of that price
I haven't been this excited for a foldable since the z fold 2...way 2 go Google
That bezel is unacceptable when literally every other company offers much better design in that department
I like they have those bezels, something to lay your thumbs on. It's a positive and is one of the reasons I'll consider getting one
Why is the bezel unacceptable if you watch a movie or UA-cam or anything on any foldable phone you’re going to have a black bar someplace which is like a bezel.
Dude, I want a good speaker and front camera
+ Now you have OFFICIAL Android software for folding phone
@@guadalupe8589 Its much better to sacrifice a relatively more comfortable grip (its not like the thin bezels are unbearable, they are still very viable) than to lose the significant amount or 'polishness' of design
@@gparizek156 Its about the design, how monumentally better the thin and most importantly - the symmetrical bezels look compared to this forehead and chin and even thick side bezels, ruins the entire aesthetic department , thin and symmetrical ones look extremely better when you just look at them, let alone the process of using the device. Device is intended for much more than just media consumption, your argument is extremely inferior
With the big bezel why don't put the speaker in front of you and should include a head phone jack
We've come a long way from the first gen folding Samsung Galaxy.
Just watched the whole video! Super excited for it!
The video came out 6 minutes ago
I love the background music 🎶...really a nice phone
How rich people talk- When I don't have a tripod then I can use pixel fold for a stable video! 😂😂😂
absolutley buying this after diving into videos for a couple days. its just the exact size i want plus all the features and things i want to use it for is what i wanted samsungs fold to be. price is steep but hey what foldable isnt expensive.
I preordered the 512GB version weeks ago and it should be on delivery at any moment. I'm so excited.
Dno about this form factor. I like the fact that the Samsung fold is really slim in the hand when folded. This looks very wide.
The wider side of the screen is a good thing, for viewing documents, photos, videos for example, less tiring for the sight !
All photos look blue
