I tried the Pixel 9 Pro Fold out for a couple weeks. Overall great concept but I’d like to have seen the inclusion of a better SoC and cameras. Reliability also seems to be a weak point according to the owner’s groups. They really need to work on that if folks are going to be expected to pay so much for a new device (or for a used one in the case of the original Fold mentioned in this article).
I’m actually on the P9PF rn myself since release so coming up on a year
Yea the SoC has been a disappointment, not terrible, but not good either. The first couple weeks were rough for battery life until the optimizations kicked in lol
Cameras are always on the “as long as they’re there” list for me LMAO but I have quite enjoyed the optical zooming on it lolol
It’s been pretty reliable for me IMO, but I also only unfold when I’m doing something that actually benefits from it, in contrast with my Dad who got a Samsuck fold who has to unfold it ALL the time because “The front screen sucks to use” LMAO so I figure his will probably break before mine just for that
Overall, for a Google 2nd gen product, id say it’s decent and probably the best out of the options I could get on T-Mobile in the states lol but there’s absolutely room for improvement
Cell phones are basically required in 2025 and this site is hyping a $2000 one that lasts a whole 6 hours?
I guess you didn’t read the article. They mentioned multiple times in the article that it sells for $500. At that price, they recommend it.
Used. It also says new is $2K. Who didn’t read the article again?
You, who overlooked that fact that they specifically did not recommend it at that price.
It’s still a $2K phone new. Even a $100 phone is expected to get more than 6 hours. At least make a halfass attempt to see the point.
This article isn’t about that, so clearly you did not read the article.
im gonna be real didnt read it either but I wouldnt have gone this far to defend something so silly, saying that "but is $2k!
