As someone who was clinging to small phones to not buldge out of my pocket, I was so fed up always having to carry as well a portable battery pretty much negating the reason I went with them in the first place. I bit the bullet and went for a large 6 Pro and there is no going back for me. I will happily have a little extra weight and buldge for reduction in my battery anxiety any day. Bring on the Pixel fold! :D
Same, I have always loved small phones with one handed typing that can fit into my tiny jeans pocket. Finally went with the Pixel 7 Pro and I got used to the size almost immediately.
Life not that bad if you change a few settings it gets better like apps you let run in the background and set bixby to use power saver when it's folded and use bixby for other apps like location to turn on when you open that app and turn off when you close that app using bixby right can gain you 2 hours
@Marcell Allen You spend so much money on the fold phone to just have to worry to manipulate the settings all the time? That's just ridiculous! Samsung can just make it wider and put a bigger battery inside.
@@develentsai3215 I get you with the making it bigger and it is sad that the galaxy has a bigger battery than the fold I'm with you on that Samsung phones as far back as I remember their setting always had to be changed around some
Foldable phones have been around for what 5 years I think it's very impressive what those phones can do you want longer battery get a Nokia those little bricks will last a week with a full charge and that was around the year 2000 crazy how the batteries back then lasted longer than today's phones 😂
The more square shape brings a HUGE PROBLEM in my opinion... Content consumption. How big do you want your black bars to be? My guess is they'll be huge in either portrait or landscape. Will the end result have a larger usable, effective screen than a Pixek 7 Pro? If not, what's the point?
It goid the way you use it works for you, but Be careful when using the phone watching videos outside in the sun. It will heat up excessively, of course, but the issue is when it cools down. The screen hardens and eventually cracks in middle.
OMNIPOTENT POWER! That's what I want. I have enjoyed the Samsung Z-Fold 3 now for a while. I would have gotten the default for but I feel like I'm still enjoying the Z-fold 3 enough. Don't forget to mention, the Samsung Z-Fold 3 is water resistant. What is the water resistance of Oppo and Google?
My Fold 4 battery lasts all day with heavey business use. I can travel all day with it using it to stream podcasts, read emails, text, read news... and regularly the battery will be around 25% by 9pm. I've never felt my Fold 4 had any less juice than other phones I've owned. Not a problem, and it's an amazing device.
Watching this on my fold 4, with moderate use, power saver on and no charge in between, some YT, tiktok, email, messages news, etc I have about 30% when I make it home from work (8am to 8pm)
Currently own the Fold 4 (as well as a 12 Pro max) & I definitely enjoy the tall approach from Samsung, still allows the device to look like an actual mobile phone.
IT SHOULD HAVE A REAR PROJECTOR CAMERA FOR WHEN HALF-FOLDED AND POSITIONED ON A FLAT SURFACE AND POINTED AT A WALL SO YOU CAN PROJECT AN IMAGE ON A WALL NEARBY. THE SAME COULD BE DONE WITH A PIXEL FOLD MINI.
You touched on a subject that I really wish tech reviewers would talk more about with each new phone review. That is how the phone will or will not work in different regions. Being in the U.S. it's cool to see a big variety of phone reviews/unboxing, however, it would be awesome if reviewers would tell what regions the phone was released for and what regions it may not function so well in (or not function at all in specific regions, say North America). I realize reviewers have a global audience, however, WE ALL STILL NEED THIS INFORMATION, IT'S VITALLY IMPORTANT BEFORE WE WASTE OUR HARD EARNED MONEY. PLEASE share those details with us and save us money, hassle and time. Any clue when or if Nothing will make a phone for North America with full functionality? (5g included). Thanks Lew.
I understand, I had the Fold 3, traded it in for a S22+, until the size and weight of a foldable is the same as a normal phone, I probably won't be interested in them.
weight is just like taking a 10 year step back in time, but you get two devices in one and that's why you buy it in the first place, now to give it native egpu support and docking and you'll never have to buy a desktop or laptop again.
I hope the double stack processors in these fold phones like Apple does it their mac mini max and create a super powerful tablet phone device. Make it unique.
Battery isnt really an issue. How often are you actually on your phone when you leave the house. It pretty much stays in my pocket or it's closed playing music.
For me, it's going to be difficult to beat my Fold 4. All these companies are behind with their hardware. I don't have a battery or crease issue with my Fold if anything, I would like it a little wider, even taller.
The fold 4 is a fat chunk of smartphone, absolutely horrible. Feels like 2 regular smartphones on top, way too fat. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 feels 1000x better.
@@Fammen1 No need to wish luck. Just prooves you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I tested both, the Samsung Fold, Xiaomi Fold aswell as the Honor Magic Vs. The Samsung one feels the worst. Beginning with the thickness, the ugly gap when folded...

@@xig4385 Designing a flip phone with a 9:16 front-facing screen and a 16:9 screen when opened up would require careful consideration of several design elements, such as the dimensions of the phone, the size and placement of the hinge mechanism, and the layout of the internal components. Here are some steps that could be taken to create such a phone: Determine the overall size and dimensions of the phone. To ensure that the front-facing screen has a 9:16 aspect ratio, the phone would need to be taller than it is wide. Similarly, the opened-up screen would need to be wider than it is tall to achieve a 16:9 aspect ratio. Decide on the size and placement of the hinge mechanism. The hinge would need to be located at the center of the phone to allow the two halves to fold smoothly and evenly. The hinge would also need to be designed to allow the screen to rotate between the two orientations without damaging the internal components or the display. Design the internal layout of the phone. The internal components, such as the battery, processor, and camera, would need to be arranged in a way that accommodates the hinge mechanism and allows the phone to function smoothly in both orientations. Develop a custom display panel that can accommodate both aspect ratios. This may require designing a flexible or foldable display that can adapt to different screen orientations. Build a custom user interface that can adjust to the different screen sizes and aspect ratios. When the phone is closed, the UI would need to display information in a vertical orientation, while when opened up, it would need to adapt to a horizontal orientation. Conduct extensive testing to ensure that the phone functions correctly and that the hinge mechanism is durable enough to withstand repeated folding and unfolding. Overall, creating a flip phone with a 9:16 front-facing screen and a 16:9 screen when opened up would require a significant amount of design and engineering expertise. However, with the right team and resources, it could certainly be possible to create such a device.
@@BuddsSkyCam ngl i read all that, but idk why I feel like you used ChatGPT for this.. anyway, so you can produce such phones while preserving that edge to edge screen on the inside? Also, why that? When you can go 9:18 (yep 1:2 on the cover screen) while being 18:9 on the inner screen? Not here for debating, just discussing 😅
please tell me it will have a stylus. I need a stylus - that is the only way to beat out Samsung - there really isnt any other reason to unfold a device to a tablet size. STYLUS STYLUS STYLUS
Bigger batteries mean faster charging as well. Pixels are pathetically lacking in charging speed just like the fruity company. With the Samsung fabricated nodes, maybe even the bigger batteries may not last as long as Sammy's upcoming offerings. Sad state of affairs.
I just want an iPhone Mini sized phone that runs iOS, takes photos like the pixel, video like the iPhone, has 2TB of storage and a 3 day battery. What’s so wrong with that?
I wish Google had cancelled the Pixel 6. The phone can't make (or else drops) calls constantly. I paid $836.00 when it came out, and they strung me along until the day it went out of warranty when they told me to go **** myself . THAT'S why I bought an S23 and I Won't be back. And THAT'S why Pixels aren't selling. BAD MANAGEMENT at the end of the day, and they're too greedy and stupid to figure it out. Google needs to leave folds to Samsung, and stick to what they know. ..which is apparently policing CZcams (smh).
I'm still confused about the timer in the top right...
Me too man
I don’t get it. Please someone, tell me. What is it for?
I think it's to keep you watching... Subconscious attention grabber of some sort
Me too. It should really be in the top left.
Very confusing in the top right.
It's just for them so they don't stay on the same topic for too long. Doesn't seem to work tho.
Without a desktop mode pixel fold is a non-starter for me

It was the opposite for me I tried the Pro and hated the weight, made me dread using the phone. But yeah I agree with battery life, it was godly
Battery size won't matter if Samsung uses SD gen 2 and Google uses Tensor. Gen 2 is a game changer
Game changer without changing much of anything.
Need faster charging on the fold.the pixel 7 and 7 pro are to slow !
Having owned my fold 3 for over a year i can say confidently battery life needs to be improved, battery life has been absolutely terrible.

I consider it as a Microsoft Surface Duo except with a folding screen instead of two screens

I think industry should focus on rollable ones, its a superior design
Is a radio included?
Just wanted a little bigger wider cameras better maybe a Trifold
After all the bugs with Google pixel 7 and 7 pro I'll stick to the Galaxy fold 4 no issues so far at all and battery for a average user is great 👍
Actually I found that it's because there's a lot of s*** running in the background on mine all I had to do was disable it from the battery
It looks like the shape of the Microsoft Duo.
Fold 2 here, battery life is incredible 2+ years of ownership.
Better battery and bigger screen makes up for all that
Battery isnt really an issue. How often are you actually on your phone when you leave the house. It pretty much stays in my pocket or it's closed playing music.
Unless you are playing intensive gaming while running a small window for movies and or listing to music or discord chating
@@treebush yeah but you'd be doing that at home with a charger
The heavier the phone the more expensive it feels. However, with that back design, as pictured, it looks like a plastic toy.
Google pixel fold is NOT like other folds. But it FOLDS
