Google Pixel Fold

Thin when folded and unfolded ; Some of the best foldable cameras around ; Pixel software is unmatched

Very visible crease on inner display ; Odd approach to app support ; Very expensive

The Google Pixel Fold is a good-looking alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, but with issues with the hinge, crease and more, it’s clear that it’s a first-gen device with improvements needed. It would’ve been somewhat more acceptable had the...

When apps utilise the 7.6in display properly it's glorious ; Much larger front display than Samsung Galaxy Z Fold ; Decent cameras for a foldable phone

Insufficient use of screen sizes, buggy software ; Big and heavy device with sizeable screen bezel ; Runs hot, battery drains fairly fast ; Considerable price tag

The Google Pixel Fold's larger-scale front display will appeal to many folding phone fans, as it sets it apart from its Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 competition. However, with software that fails to maximise these two large displays, large screen bezels,...

No-compromises front screen ; Excellent construction ; Great-looking big screen ; Great cameras and photo tricks

Huge bezel around the tablet screen ; Takes a little push to lie flat ; The price takes some explaining

The Google Pixel Fold is an excellent, multidimensional handset that feels equally at home as a beefy smartphone or a pint-sized tablet, and it marries that versatility with strong performance and stellar photography. If you think of the Pixel Fold as...

Palm-friendly form factor and sturdy hinge ; Continues the Pixel’s run of cracking cameras ; Mostly streamlined software

Very visible screen crease with big bezels ; Mediocre battery life and charging speeds ; Folding rivals do split screen much better

A fantastic form factor and streamlined software, but the Pixel Fold feels like a first effort in several key areas.

Excellent cameras ; Great screens ; Google apps optimised for big screen ; Gap-free design

The price ; Many apps not optimised for tablet mode ; Heavy for a phone ; No stylus support

The Pixel Fold is an impressive device, especially for a first generation. There’s room for improvement in software, though this relies on app developers as much as Google. The biggest turn-offs are the price and hefty weight, though these are...

Shockingly long battery life ; Rival-beating cameras ; Incredible Super Res Zoom ; Slick, premium design ; Great display

Solid build quality Great cover display size Barely any gap when closed Beautiful displays Fantastic cameras Fast performance

Cover display scratches easily One-day battery life Poor wireless charging options

“The Google Pixel Fold has a lot to love. With a comfortable design, excellent displays, and fantastic cameras, it's a true contender in the foldable race.”

It folds like a book! Wider screens make it much nicer to use than Samsung’s Fold4. Multitasking is easy. Excellent AMOLED displays. Good battery life and performance. Smart software. Nice cameras. Lengthy software support.

Too expensive. Camera preview on front screen disables the inner screen.

Reliable Pixel cameras ; Landscape form factor is great for videos ; Very usable outer display

Questionable durability ; Heavy and pricey ; Limited multitasking features

The Pixel Fold’s heaviness plays a big part in this. It’s uncomfortable to use it folded for very long, even if the outer screen format feels more natural than the remote control-esque Galaxy Z Fold 4. You notice its weight in your pocket, tote bag,...
