I've had my Z Fold 4 for some time now and got to spend some time with the Pixel Fold. It's amazing how much I missed all the Labs and Features Samsung put into the Fold, made my experience with the Pixel Fold suck because all the gestures were missing, lots of apps scaled horribly. So I'm happily back in my Z Fold 4 and loving life again 😂 PS: Also, the battery was miserable in the Pixel Fold, I use my phone hard for work, and the Pixel by 4pm is dead, my Z Fold 4 can get me to 9pm on a really rough day.

@DAVTech1 Your thoughts go a long way in helping me decide. I currently own the Z Fold 4 and I was slightly drawn to the Pixel Fold purely for the aspect ratio. But your video helped me settle my mind that the Z Fold 4 is right where I belong. It seems that one chief difference in Samsung and Google's approach with these devices is that Samsung is focused on that internal display experience and Google on the outward display experience. Even the way they come packaged proves this. My Z Fold came unfolded in the box, and the Pixel comes folded in the box. Interesting philosophy differences. I'll stick with the Z Fold and your video was very beneficial to me. As always, your content is superb and we're excited to see much more. Have a great day!

Ive had the Fold 3 then the fold 4 so been in that for 3 years now, so its just a novelty factor that the pixel fold has a slightly different form factor, if you open the fold and rotate to landscape the inner screen is the same size. Also people always seem to complain about the outer display being thin and narrow. But even before the fold I was an iPhone user and hated the wideness of the iphone pro max , infact the perfect iPhone form factor for me was the iphone mini. Now if you get an iphone mini and a samsung fold side by side, you will see the screen width is identical, its just a bit taller which is the perfect one handed use phone for just holding as a phone for typing texts etc. even when viewing feeds like twitter etc you see more with the taller display. Apps work amazing on the Fold as samsungs software as of late is just amazing !

I really appreciate your video! One of the few youtubers I've seen who just didn't say nobody should really need much more than what the pixel offers. Even though I don't think of myself as a power user, I guess I am. Because I use a good amount of the features that Samsung offers on their foldable. The three windows is practically a must for me. Along with as you mentioned the occasional bubble windows. I use all the multitasking capabilities with my side hustle. I find it invaluable! Unfortunate enough to be able to use both right now, especially since I pre-ordered. But I don't think I'm keeping the pixel full to beyond the return period. The camera is close. I'll admit to winning me over because it is awesome! And with kids having the best camera I can is of very high importance to me. But I can't have it be the only reason I keep a phone. So unless the pixel fold wins me over by the next 12 days or so, I'm definitely keeping my fold 4 and hoping the fold 5 provides some good camera improvements. I could go on but suffice to say thank you for your video and how you presented the information!

I have the fold 4 and was looking into the Pixel fold but the thing I can't go without is an ability to connect to a external screen. I use it often and the pixel fold does not cover it. I love the cover screen of the pixel, it doesn't bother me enough to spend another 1800 on a device that doesn't even have pen support. The Fold4 was designed to replace a ipad mini* and it has. But Dex is a big one - i use it to connect NREAL Air glasses from time to time as well as other monitors. Also, I prefer portrait, 3-way multi-window. But that cover screen on the pixel - so money.

Android 14 is bringing many fold features to the Pixel so a bit early to trash Google's software. One new feature will be a desktop mode and the ability to connect to an external display. The desktop mode may not be as good as DeX but will probably suffice for casual users. Other features include translation, allowing the app to translate on inner and outer displays for ease of conversation. There are lots of other stuff rumoured, so in a few months, you may want to rethink your doubt over the Pixel Fold software?

Thank you for such an unbiased review. I have a Pixel Fold on pre order and the main reason I chose it as opposed to waiting for the Galaxy Fold 5 to drop is because of the Pixel's dimensions. Particularly, when it's folded. I have nothing against the Nestle Crunch bar shaped Galaxy Fold when it's folded but I think videos aspect ratios will fare better on the Pixel Fold's front screen. Even with the Pixel's inferior Tensor chip and lack of customization, the front screen and flatness when closed, held a lot of weight during the decision making process.

The thing about Google is over the coming months, They will fix a lot of the software issues. Probably not all. Samsung is known for doing too much, and Google tends to keep things simpler overall. But every Pixel I've owned is always better several months down the road than it was when I first got it. I have the Pixel 6 Pro right now and it's arguably a better phone now than it was when I got it. So the fact it doesn't allow separate setups on the outside and inside displays for example doesn't worry me because I am pretty sure that will change over the coming year. It does bother me though, that they haven't fixed the overheating issue.

Hello Mister Dav, as usual a very honest comparison. In my opinion, the Pixel Fold is an excellent multimedia device and only a limited workhorse. For me, the purpose of a fold is to use the inner display. Thus, the size of the outer display does not play a role. This is not the case with the Pixel Fold, since the front display is only slightly smaller at 5.8" and the inner display is slightly larger at 7.6" than, for example, on an S23 Ultra with 6.8". I prefer the Z Fold 4. In addition, I work a lot of out of office so I can easily connect my Z Fold 4 to a display, have my external keyboard and mouse with me and can actually work comfortably from anywhere. By the way, I am very happy with the camera in every Situation. But as in the intro, the Pixel Fold is a great device, no doubt. But is it worth the price?

@@oskaveli662 I think like many potential buyers, YT creators are frustrated with Samsung staying with their design which every other OEM have moved away from, as customer feedback does not like it. It is too narrow and a turn-off for the majority. Samsung has tacitly admitted so, but it was too late for the Fold5, so we have another repetitive boring Fold5 that will not attract new buyers that could not stand the Fold 1-4. They are apparently redesigning the Fold6 to atone for the poor design and that will have a wider front display. Will it be too late by then as other OEMs are ramping up the competition?

I think the pixel just looks so short and squat... it almost looks fat! 😂😂 Have you seen the xiaomi mix fold 2? I think that is the best looking foldable. Not to skinny, not too short, and as thin as a regular phone! Plus it has an 8" inner display for a little more screen real-estate! If Samsung took the s23 ultra cameras and shape but scaled it down a tiny bit so that it wasn't quite as huge and made it a fold (with the s-pen built in) I would buy that in a heartbeat

I'm really looking forward to the OnePlus foldable. I've been wanting to buy into the foldable form factor, but never been a fan of Samsung One UI (tho ZF4 has some smart software). I thought Pixel Fold was going to hit the sweet spot, but disappointed with the price, lack of features, slow charging speeds and reported battery life. One Plus Fold is rumored to have warp charging which would be huge! I loved warp charging on my 8T.

Great video. First time visiting your channel and I subscribed. My thoughts on the phones: I sold my z fold 4 and purchased the pixel fold. I figured if I don't like it, I can get the z fold 5. So far I am loving the pixel fold. The size and outside screen are amazing. The only thing I miss is the extra features as you said. I was used to it on Samsung, like having folders in the app tray, secure folder (I kept work accounts in there so it wouldn't mix with mine) and animation wallpaper (it makes the pixel fold laggy). I only used the outside screen on the z fold 4 to make and receive calls, barely used it for anything else. I noticed I use the outside screen on the pixel fold a lot and only use the inner screen for video or heavy usage on emails, excel documents and such. Last thing I hated about the z fold 4 is the inner screen dust. Because of the gap, every time I would open the inner screen it was dusty.

I am just glad Google did not just do the easy thing and make another Galaxy Fold wannabe. Their design choice adds variety to the mix and from what I have seen, myself included, opened up "folds" to a fresh audience. As for what is best, there are pros and cons either way, and it is really about how you use your phone. My choice was the Pixel Fold as I buy these predominantly as a phone with the added value of being a tablet on the occasions it is called for. Most of my daily routine does not need a larger display, so the Pixel's better front aspect ratio makes that experience far more suitable for me. But either way, consumers can choose their design or some other metric that is more beguiling. The negatives by the YT collective on the Pixel Fold so far have seemed more nitpicking than genuine deal-breakers. Bezels are superficial, app optimisation can be solved by switching between landscape and portrait, and battery life within the first week is moot as it will improve (one reviewer that had it for 6 weeks was getting 6-7 hours SOT now). Also, performance, if you want a gaming phone then Pixels have never been for that target audience, the Pixel is about cameras and software. And so on... ...so the Pixel is not for everyone, but maybe for those that have been standing on the sidelines, unimpressed by the Galaxy Fold take, but now swayed by the common sense design of the Pixel Fold?

Had the Z Fold 3 and now the 4. I really like the wider outside display of the Pixel Fold. That would be my number 1 reason to change. It truly is a phone and tablet in one. I almost never use my outer display on the Samsung so I feel it defeats the purpose of having it. I'm also putting more wear and tear on the hinges and inner display opening it up for simple quick tasks all the time. Having said that, almost everything else about the Z Fold is better and more refined. Stylus support, Snapdragon, better battery life and software. I'm hoping Samsung sees the positive response to the Pixel and changes the orientation on the Z Fold 6. If the Pixel Fold 2 is a big step forward I may jump ship on Samsung if they don't go wide with the front display. At least there's competition now. I feel the Samsung Fold 5 is barely an upgrade from what I've heard and that's because Samsung has been costing for years with no competition.

I sent my pixel fold back the same day i received it. Its beautiful but way too wide for me to use one handed. The z fold has is a more refined product that really does work well. I hate the heft and bulk of the z fold but the heft of the pixel was on par with the z fold. If samsung could make the fold lighter and a but wider they would have the perfect folding device in my opinion. Pixel will catch up but they are not ready. Thanks for the great video.

Thank you for the review. I have heard nothing but disappointing things about the leaks for Fold 5. I have the 4 and looking forward to the 5. I recently took a look at the pixel in person. If you rotate the screen on the 4 it is the same size as the pixel when open. Also, I found the 4 to have a better-looking internal screen and brighter.

How about the most annoying thing with galaxy fold 4, when you open the big screen, it will be so dusty you have to clean it every time. Does the pixel also has the same experience? It look like the pixel has less gap so in theory it should be much cleaner? Or is it also still dusty?

What are your thoughts on the philosophy of the design language differences between the two? I have the Fold 4 and, to me, it really does seem like Samsung designed it with one-handed ergonomics in mind while the Pixel Fold seems like Google's hardware team were optimistic about the time you spend with their Fold unfolded. I haven't held the Pixel Fold in hand tho so I it's harder for me to envision their purpose vehind the design. More productivity vs media consumption? To me, that's what the hardware designs suggest.
