Some people asked me to post reflections on my .

I'm not sure it warrants a blog post in its own right, but I'm happy to share a few things:

  1. It's running @GrapheneOS flawlessly. I'm actually a pretty heavy user of Google's services, but not a fan of sharing more data than I need to.

  2. Having a larger screen to fold out is more useful than you'd perhaps think. I use my laptop less for non-work stuff.

Folding phone owners! How do YOU watch video on your foldable? I told a pal I preferred a "tent mode" setup, and they said i was crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww49P4PBl_w
I await your hot takes!

I waited for Android 14 AND app updates, and was close to naming this the "Folding Phone Camera of 2023", but what's going on with the sensors?
Should we grade foldables on a curve?

The VAST majority of folding phones sold now are "flip" style. Using a chunk of my review (and literal road trip test drive) to wonder about the consumer who might be a better fit for a mini-folding-tablet.

I know folks chuckle about old services like , but since being bought by a company, it's been nice to see them improve their mobile app, especially for tablets.
It's just embarrassing at this point how bad is on larger screens.

Couldn't help it. Had to take a creeper shot LOL. My first real world (not tech reviewer) sighting of a Pixel Fold 😅

Hey @acedtect where can I find your latest opinion on the ? I was looking to upgrade from my Pixel 6 Pro and trying to decide if I should go foldable or not.

At this price, are you still really repairing your , or are you merely salvaging a few of its old parts into a new phone? It’s the ship of Theseus 🙃 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/the-pixel-folds-screen-repair-will-cost-900/

Little purple flower on a vine.
It's tough wrapping my brain around foldable phones being so expensive, but also so thin they can't have the best camera sensors. At least they're not TOO far of a downgrade from the best phone cameras.
Pixel Fold is hanging in there well, especially for a quick shot.

When I upgraded from a Pixel 7 Pro to a Pixel Fold, Google was offering a free Pixel Watch with every Pixel Fold preorder. Since I already had one, I offered it up to my buddy Matt and he posted about it. Google saw it and did something cool and sent us both free new Pixel Watch bands! These look dope!

Thanks a bunch for sending us this @google!

Traveling light! So nice tackling audio edits from a foldable. We had all kinds of issues with my mic for this week's show, but I was able to balance it out a bit, without having to fire up a laptop. 😊

If anyone is interested in the phone and comparing to the , here are some side by sides. This is SD 1, I skipped SD 2 and am so far happy with the PF as a replacement.

The Pixel Fold has been really validating to use. I took a lot of flack for suggesting the Galaxy Z Fold hinge was the wrong orientation three years ago. I preferred the Surface Duo "book" form factor.
Now all these reviewers talking about how nice the Pixel Fold is for being a "digital moleskine".
I feel seen. 😊

As a Surface Duo fan, let's see how this lil bugger holds up 👍

Whoops! I mean, It's been out of the box for about an hour now, so here's my first impressions, unboxing, setup, review, full review, long term review, is it worth it, after the buzz, and comparisons with all the gooder samsung and apple devices that are more worth it for the monies!
