  • The new Pixel Fold is Googles first foldable phone, with an outside screen size of 5.8" and an inside screen that measures 7.6", that looks great for reading or watching videos. Google's computational photography brings great pictures with features like face unblur, magic eraser and night mode. But there are two major factors that may deter potential buyers.

    No, it's not a gimmick. Sometimes you want a huge display to view content, and sometimes you just want a regular sized display. It's nice to have both in one device.

    • @CraigsTechTalk
      @CraigsTechTalk  9 місяців тому +2

      That is how I feel too. Why wouldn't you want both if durability and price weren't an issue. Thanks for watching.

      It's a gimmick for now bc it's still new technology that's their trying to put in phones
      Hopefully in the future it becomes a feature of newer phones

    I love the foldable form factor as an artist/ designer. I was about to replace my iPad and iPhone but Google missed with no stylus at 1800 😅

    • @CraigsTechTalk
      @CraigsTechTalk  9 місяців тому +2

      I can see the benefits for an artist/designer. To have a foldable on hand for when ideas pop up or work needs done on the go. That is a great point about no stylus support.

    • @ahmadkaien
      @ahmadkaien 8 місяців тому

      You can use a regular stylus. Not sure if you’d get the same functionality in terms of drawing if you do on a flexible screen but you can def do some drawing

    The pixel fold is dope. Im loving it. Who dont need or dnt have a tablet. This is a good phone and a tablet. Best of both worlds. And it does have spen support on both inner and outer screen. Wouldnt use a sharp one on inner screen doe, just for caution.

    First, Craig, this is a great macro level review. Your ability to set aside free procurement reviewer mode and go into regular user mode is very important. While I suspect it is easy to do, few specifically do so.
    Second, I believe foldable phones have a long term future ahead of us. They may even become the largest class of smartphones at some point, at least until there is a flexy stretchy type of display that we can form into anything each time we use it.
    My limitation is that I am deep in the Apple ecosystem. So, until Apple launches one (probably two years before my prophecised flexy stretchy screen comes out!), I am unlikely to make the switch.

    • @CraigsTechTalk
      @CraigsTechTalk  9 місяців тому +1

      Thank you very much. I try to do my best to see it from a real customer standpoint. I thought this one is really important at this price point and with the durability. I am with you on foldable being the future. Why wouldn't you want a tablet on hand with your phone. I am like you and deep into the apple ecosystem. I cannot wait until Apple makes one. I do enjoying using google and this phone, but I still want a foldable iPhone. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the nice comment.

      @CraigsTechTalk  9 місяців тому +1

      I hope you are well Gareth. Good to see you. I don't think the video quality keeps up with iPhones. The photos are really processed. Where I think apple relies on the hardware to create the look. I might be totally wrong.

    A lot of buyers remorse in here. The review broke it down wonderfully. Apps not being optimized, the large bezels, and the phone not folding completely are all deal breakers. And for $1800? Not even batting an eye at this generation. Maybe next time

    • @CraigsTechTalk
      @CraigsTechTalk  9 місяців тому

    • @CraigsTechTalk
      @CraigsTechTalk  7 місяців тому

      I would get the iPhone mini. I say that as someone who is firmly in the Apple ecosystem. I like using Android, but it does have roadblocks in my work flow compared to my iPhone and other Apple devices. The second reason is that the screens are too fragile. I don't mind the crease as much as the durability of the screen.

    i love it. but i would rather buy the z fold 5.
    feels more premium. better build. and i hate those big bezzels.
    i dont care about the small and long front display. i see it as a tablet that i can also use as a phone.
    but i before i buy i just want the high end camera. :/
