Hopefully things get better for you

Just for show ...You can smell the coffee in the background, needed to get thru the editing.😄

Nope. Black tea. To your point, a higher caffeine content tea for the editing session

good luck with that. I mean it, not trying to be sarcastic. when you open the pixel, it opens in landscape due to the nature of the phone being shaped that way. and most apps don't open automatically in landscape. so you're left with a "candy bar" effective real estate in the center of your out folded pixel. People knock samsung for making their fold so slim. well, now yall know why. Boom.....

I am loving the regular s23 so much. I can easily master it with one hand.

​@@braskabani8011but s23 isn't a flagship :( Need better flagship phone options with good reachability.

Wouldn't it be kind of pointless for it to unfold completely flat due to the camera hump? Not being a smartazz. Genuinely asking because it seems that it wouldn't be able to sit flat even if it were able to open a full 180°

@@jasonmcelroy1938 it's true that the device will not sit flat. But the way this one unfolds, it gets to about 178 degrees causing the slight bend to be really distracting in tablet mode.

@@spencerrugg7704 Gotcha. Guess I'll have to wait for mine to come in to really understand. Do you have a case on yours?

Thank you for the kind words! Means a lot 😄

Glad you liked it!

I appreciate that. My peers all put in a great deal of work into their content as well, so I would like to spread some praise around to them too. I have my opinions and my own reactions, like anyone, so I can only hope that they resonate enough with people or are at least presented in a way that isn't too polarizing.

There are a lot of great promotions online

I know. I agree there's just something super special about pixel phones😊

Only one screen at a time, at least for now. I would like to think multiscreen camera usage can come in a feature drop at some point

The Pixel Fold shares the same launcher concept as the Duo I.e. The phone mode launcher is the same as the big screen launcher, just two windows of the launcher side by side. With that as a foundational piece it should be relatively easy to launch an app on one side of the screen and see one window of your homescreen on the other. A shame Google didn't copy those great ideas from the Duo.

The Samsung fold is 21 to 9 on the outer screen I think

@@junoperberry and 3x8 is 24. In the ballpark, it is splitting a portrait screen vertically which yields tall and narrow. Splitting 4:3 into 2:3 or 3:7 (3:8 for the math) are approximations. I prefer the 2:3 for both media consumption and reading.

@R.B. 2:3 is probably the wrong aspect ratio for most media, most things are either 16:9 or 21:9 Sometime 19.5:9 if they're made specifically for iphones

@@junoperberry I've done the math, buried in some comment long ago, and 2:3 isn't great for 16:9, but it also isn't bad. It is the same for 4:3 content. In fact, there's not a great many horizontal pixels you gain, but for 2.1:1 or similar stretched screens, you waste a lot with black bars on the left and right. That is even worse for 4:3 content, or forgive me for suggesting, 1:1 or portrait framed content that someone was thoughtful enough to reframe for 16:9 landscape. Bleh. With a foldable, the argument is that you just unfold the device to take advantage of the inner 4:3 screen, something you couldn't really do with the Duo or Duo 2 unless you like the gap, but you don't really miss that much when you consider that most folks with the Z Fold don't usually rotate their unfolded screens to landscape anyway. The 4:3 aspect of the Z Fold unfolded to portrait is about the same width without the significant black bars. The Pixel Fold actually solves both of these concerns by unfolding to landscape. You gain the extra horizontal pixels without rotating, giving it a slight advantage over both the Z Fold and the Duo. For the same reason, using the Pixel Fold in Tabletop mode, or the Duo in a tent posture, or as I like to use, a modified tent posture which is like the laptop posture with the keyboard folded back, provide better media displays. I'm hoping that the Pixel Fold makes it really easy to force use of the cover screen with the device partially unfolded, I saw that it had been shown for some apps like the camera, but I don't know if it can be used for just any app in that mode. I think that will provide a similar use case, but then the camera bump will be a factor that the 360 hinge of the Duo solves without complication and it provides access to the volume rocker on the top of the screen.

Oh I can actually answer my own question as I had my prorder delivered yesterday. Yes, similarly to the Pixel 7 family, the Fold also allows for dual eSIM use. Can even have a plastic SIM in too, just needs deactivating within settings.
