Am I the only person kinda appreciate the one-handability that zfold 4 offers when closed?

Since I'm not buying this phone to use the cover display i will stick with the Z fold 4 , better software experience . Looking forward to Z fold 5 .

I'm sticking with the ZFold4 for sure.. From the sound of ZFold5, I might not make the jump..ZFold4 in my opinion checks all MAJOR boxes for me except the smaller front display.. other than that, The small bezels in the ZF4 is where the Deal breaker is for me with the Pixel Fold. It also look like multi trading in the Zfold4 is more Ideal too... That camera bump on the pixel Fold doesn't do it for me either.. Only reason I ordered the Pixel Fold is because I have to at least see it in my hand, try it out for a coyote of days and 99.99% chance, it's going to be returned. Will not cost me much to try it out(just a $50 VZW restocking fee). Edit.. I actually just canceled my pixel fold order after viewing this video . Saving myself the $50 restocking fee😂

Having used them both I just prefer the feel in hand and usability of the Pixel Fold. That cover display width changes everything.

ZFold3...The gap in the fold is a non-issue for me. I would like the ZFold to feel more like the S series, while folded.

Thank you !! I have the Samsung fold 4, but ordered the pixel fold, supposed to get tomorrow. Now I'm REALLY EXCITED to get it after seeing your video!! Love your work, keep it up!!

Happy with the Zfold 4 much better that my opinion

Great review. I've been asking the same question, what does the Google Fold do that other foldables don't? The answer to that is, other than the Google experience and a different form factor, not much. In my view, the Z Fold is best for power users with its ability to truly multitask, availability of the S-pen, and Samsung Dex. The Pixel Fold seems more suited for those who use their phone for communication and social media, which is how most people use their phones, probably making it the better choice for most.

Still rocking 😎 the z fold 2 and thank God no issues. Still have all the accessories ✨️ That came with it. Now the only thing u get is the phone in the box 📦 🙄.

Looking forward to seeing the stuff that matters. Like is it full screen when in Facebook or Instagram, does it feel more premium than the Z Fold 4.

I personally think the cover display is too wide and short on the pixel fold. I think I'll try out the pixel fold but I'm pretty sure I'll stick with the fold 4. And Google software will eventually upset me I'm pretty sure, can't risk it.

You missing Pen/Dex features? What about 3 app window support?

Seems to me that the Pixel Fold takes better pictures BUT the Z Fold 4 does video SO MUCH better!!!

What about inner screen not opening full i.e. not making 180 deg flat surface? Is it fine with you…

epic comparison, especially alongside the N2 👌🏼

I like the one handability of the z-fold 4 when it's closed. And I also like that it's taller when it's open. It seems easier to use as well cuz it's not so wide in the hand

Great comparison!!! Looks like I’m keeping my fold 4!!

Yeah, I agree! Is that form factor. The wider front screen is just ergonomically correct, than you can just open it for the larger display. Where the Samsung outer display is almost really just for notifications and maybe checking your inbox, etc. But am glad Samsung finally has some competition and consumers have options. As always great video Thunder E.

It's just hard to compare a phone that just came out to the phone that's been out a year. We will find out more of a better comparison when the galaxy Fold 5 comes out. Can't wait to see that video.

Have a z fold 3 and the wider outside screen on the pixel has ensured it as my next upgrade

Does the Pixel Fold allows you to play CoD Fullscreen on the inner display?

You probably should correct the part where you the Samsung fold 4 had a triple 12 megapixel camera setup. The main camera is 50 megapixels and it was the main improvement from the last gen folds

I have both phones and deciding which one to keep or use. Wanted to see others opinions and I love your video and coverage. The camera color is far better on the pixel, lady in the z fold looks orange and not natural at all. The mic is so interesting. While stationed the pixel picks up more background noise as I can hear the cars drive by which on the z fold is less but when walking around with the cover display, the pixel did a better job on background noise. You nailed the decision factor, when you use the outside screen 5% of the time versus 60% the experience is becomes night and day. Especially when you have dust everytime you open the because of the gap. I love my samsung devices but when it comes to the fold I would pick the pixel.

I've loved to get my hands on the pixel fold, since the pixel experience alone makes it worth it, but alas it's not available in my country so I got the fold 4, which I'm loving so far, and I'm hearing that the performance and battery is a bit better so I'm pretty satisfied.

That cover display on the pixel is perfect.....Its the only plus point it has over the fold 4. Multitasking on the fold 4 is better with the option of having 4 plus apps open as opposed to only 2 on the pixel... Nice device, but im more than happy with my fold 4.

How did you get TikTok on full screen mode on the pixel fold display when opened?

The camera placement should be more towards the mid/side center (symmetry needs to change) with this form factor.

Subscribed for the good review and the Bleach wallpaper. 1 day to cour 2. Also in terms of foldables I'm waiting for the fold 5 to make my decision

Interesting critique , what was missing was battery size and usage comparison. Plus does the pixel offer the ability to change the displays, i.e., cover being different from internal. You might want two different looks.

Great video. I've been waiting to see how these two stack up against each other. The Pixel Fold seems really impressive and has me intrigued. But I just don't see enough to make me want to give up my Z Fold 4. If I had any other smartphone I would probably give the Pixel Fold a look. But as it stands now, I'm gonna bold out and see what's up with the Z Fold 5.

But does it have usb c display port alt mode output?

how is it versus the oppo find n2?

I am already using samsung z fold 4. now is it ok for me? Or Pixel fold is better than samsung z fold 4. I want your advice. Thanks

Very thin, but quite heavy right? I hear much heavier than Fold4. That's a big deal for something you will use as a folding tablet for watching movies or playing games.

The horrible battery life is a deal breaker for me. I wanted to like this phone but I need 6-7 hr screen on time guaranteed and reviewer are saying this thing taps out at a lil over 4hrs and it also has bad stand by battery life

The only thing that I'm nervous about with the pixel fold is the opened design makes it harder to use a pop socket as a stand.

Great video. I've been using the Galaxy Fold as a backup phone but the front display kept it from being my main phone. My pixel fold arrives tomorrow. Hoping to use it full time. Can you use the app bar if you are suing a third party launcher?

The craziest part is the cover and internal display's mic and quality. Pixel is much louder and sounds better.

Love the pixel fold camera video quality though how smooth it is it's almost as smooth as a 4K hdr movie it's amazing 🔥

I like z fold 4 folded design to pixel fold wide folded design. It's easier to hold and looks better

I would rather wait and get the upcoming Fold 5 or buy the Fold 4 with an additional discounted price.

The pixel takes better photos. ZFold takes better video. The pixel's microphones sound much better. The ZFold has better audio. At least from what I'm watching. If I had to choose, I like the size of the Pixel Fold. But I wouldn't be mad at having either.

I much prefer the Google pixel fold also for the reasons you mention, great review as well.

You can get a really good deal right now on the zfold 4 or if you like pixel fold wait until black Friday you can get deals on pixle phones

Mine is Galaxy Fold 4

It's about the software and that exclusive Pixel software features that makes this device, if you are used to using these, like myself, it's a Pixel all day, unfortunately for me Google has decided to exclude Australia from a local release, so I'll probably have to import one

That pixel fold audio is astounding during videos

i like the pixel wider screen but the fold 4 you get more for your money plus its comparing the pixel to last years z fold. few months the z fold 5 will be out which now closes completely and they got rid of the crease down the fully. plus from what i seen the pixel fold doesnt force scretch apps to use the inside screen. alot of black screen on the sides. its a great first fold for them and excited to see what the pixel fold 2 will bring.

Awesome Review! I have the 4, looking into getting the pixel fold. It's about time to let samsung go. If you got the z fold, then you got the 5. It's not worth the upgrade.

The only thing i would buy a pixel fold for is for graphene Os. but im happy a google foldable exists because now something like lineageos for samsungs fold could exist.

Just got my pixel fold and so far I'm loving it

I hope Samsung keeps it's Fold's overall form factor. Fits better in my pocket, better one hand use and better format for the inner screen.

for me, I'll pick the fold 4 cos I feel like most KZfaqrs are forcing the pixel fold to be better when it's actually worse, the compromise is too many for me to choose the pixel fold, I'll have to give up the s-pen which is the main reason I bought the z fold in the 1st place over the s23 ultra, I'll lose the one-handed useability of the cover screen of the z fold which I loved and preferred, an inferior chip cos I game a lot, an inferior fold software I mean way too inferior, outside the typing advantage that the cover screen of the pixel gives you, I feel like using social media apps would be worse, take Instagram for example, I would not be able to view a full video or picture at once because of the short aspect ratio while on the z fold, I can almost see two posts a glance. I feel like the pixel fold is a worse folding form factor, in my opinion, no offenses.

I don't think any phone manufacturer has perfected the demensions yet. The Fold 4 has a cover screen that's a bit too narrow but the inner screen is perfect, while the Pixel Fold seems to have nailed the outer screen but the inner screen needs work.

Id say techno pantom v is the right aspect ratio while the pixel folds asoect ratio I'd say it kinda feels oldly short and I did wish it was a bit taller, the zfold is too tall and this is the nice in between, the zfold id say is the best foldable in the market its just about perfect when comparing to other foldable, the onoy major complain i have is the form factor like its an okay tablet but basically a tv remote when folded imagine putting that against your ears looks like your using a tv remote as a toy phone to talk to people, even the sony xperia smartphones feels like a tv remote and zfold being more narrow

There's a few things missing in the comparison. Yes he said about the gaming but should have shown some benchmarks since a lot of people want to play top tier gaming. This comparison is going to be outdated in a few months anyway with the z fold 5. The battery life. From comparisons I have seen. One claims after a week of testing the pixel fold lasted them 4 hours on screen time and that was mainly using the front display not the inner display which is bad. The fold 4 has a better battery. And with the z fold 5 with the upgraded chip it will do so much better. Multi-tasking. One thing you missed. The pixel is limited to only 2 apps split screen. The z fold 4 can do 3. When you want to change your wallpaper on your inner display if you change it on pixel fold it also copies it to the front screen which some people don't want. Whereas the z fold 4 does not. If you are a content creator like myself I heavily doubt the pixel fold can video edit like the z fold 4. If you have samsung Dex alongside an editing program that can edit like lumia. I doubt pixel can do that. Plus as mention pixel fold does not have samsung Dex which is a game changer

Open up the Z Fold 4 and turn it sideways and it does what the Google Pixel does minus the Outdated thick Bezels. I don't mind the Bezels being thick if that 8 megapixel Camera was a 12 megapixels camera. But it beats Samsung 4 megapixels camera that is under a screen which means 4 megapixels looks like 2 megapixels.

12:10 Screen size and aspect ratio are two completely different things. What you're praising is the aspect ratio of the outer display.

The Z Fold 4 has the best speakers I've ever had on a phone so I thought when I first purchased it. Anyways just wait for the z fold 5 to come out. That phones going to be a beast!

I've owned the zfold 2 3 4....one of my biggest complaints is the front screen, Samsung could eliminate it and I wouldn't miss it...its too narrow to be useful (for me). Not sure I'll do first gen google, but it checks alot of boxes for me!

There is no better. It's what fits your needs.

Z fold 4 user here . Still like zfold 4 better . And samsung store and service center already all over the world .

Cant wait for the "ONE+ V FOLD".

Samsung for me the spen is a game changer IMO but the 5 needs to step it up

I will decide after your six month review.😉

I heard someone's pixel fold broke in less then a week

All time iPhone user here, stopped upgrading on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Even with the launch of the Pixel Fold, I’m going with the ZFold 5. Can’t beat Samsung Dex with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and RDP or Windows boot.

great video the pixel fold is amazing but it's not better then the fold 4 and when the fold 5 comes out it's gonna be better even if the pixel fold was 500 dollars I still wouldn't get it over the fold

The chicken looks tastier on Samsung zfold4 nice 'n' golden.

It is obvious that foldables should have almost as much access to the outer display as the inner display. Samsung must bring the height down and spread the size a little bit for users to enjoy the outer display.

The fact that this only has 2k views is a dang shame! Great work on these vids, keep it up.

I Love To Emulate retro games up to N64 on my z fold 3 and it looks better on my zfold3 than my $329.00 Dedicated Emulation Box Even When Hooked Up To My 4K Projector .

in my opinion oppo find n2 is the best foldable phone ever but i wish they'll drop the global version in the near future

Samsung works better you can optimize apps to fit your inner display plus you have 3 app split screen.

People keep saying it feel like a reg phone . If inwanted a reg phone i would just buy a reg phone. I like a one hand experience. Giggty then when u need a bigger ill just open it cause it dont matter how big the ouside acreeen is ima be having it on open mostly. Just give me a bigger inner screen

I'll stick to my Surface Duo 2, Google is close to having me but maybe not just yet.

As nice as the pixel fold looks I'm going to go with the Galaxy simply because of my usage and the fact that I'm a little leery about buying a first year product from Google...

As a dude with little kids the cameras are pretty much everything for me, I'm on a pixel 7 now having come from a 6 (with a brief stint using the Flip 4) and it's made me realise how much I need solid flagship quality cameras. Problem is in the UK the fold is close to $2300 ... So that's just too rich for me, especially as I've noticed a big decline with the performance of my current and last Tensor devices, I think in 12 months time when prices start to drop these will be a compelling buy.

Love the design of the Pixel Fold. That aspect ratio, and the lack of proper upgrades to the Galaxy Fold, were some of the reasons I moved to the Duo 2. Thank you for the comparison. I can honestly say, although I want to upgrade, it looks like I can hold tight and look at the Fold 5, One+ Fold or see what/if Microsoft decides to do next. Thanks again.

Very good video everyone trashes the g2 chip but like i have said before hands on side by side you cant even tell a difference and if you see benchmark specs its crazy how a g2 chip stacks up to better processor. Anti google people are the only ones who talk crap and never owned one. 💯 Waiting for my fold to get here in the morning

Let's talk about the gap in foldable phones, and just how truly important it is: I have owned a Galaxy Z Fold 2 for around two years. During that time, I have noticed the gap when my phone is folded. Not. One. Single. Time.

I've been using the zfold for a while & I love it but I really like how the pixel fold looks. I'll see what zfold 5 has to offer then I'll make my decision!

Biggest drawback with pixel fold is problematic landscape design. 1. Most apps we used are portrait apps which don't scale properly to landscape orientation. Even if Google came up with a full screen hack (like zfold) stretching these portrait apps to a landscape screen will look extremely horrible. Don't forget, current zfold full screen hack is to go fullscreen in portrait screen. 2. With pixel fold there is the hassle of needing to rotate the screen to portrait if you don't want half the screen area being wasted by letter boxing. Not to mention, the need to rotate again to close the fold. 3. Even those apps with having landscape view support are not always optimum either as the fold is not a 10 inch tablet. These landscape optimized apps use half the screen to display main content (which is less than what you get on a candy bar phone). Even the KZfaq app is better in portrait. It gives you a big size video on the top half and you can read comments below. In landscape view, video size is much smaller unless you go into fullscreen (which means you can't see comments at the same time). 4. When pixel fold screen is rotated to portrait (most usage scenario), having the crease on the horizontal is way MORE distracting than on vertical. When vertical content scrolls over the horizontal crease you will see the constant waviness/distortion which makes you feels like you gonna get seasick. And the horizontal crease will much more visible as the crease is at an angle to your eyes when you are holding the phone in portrait. 5. Even multi-window split view is worse than zfold. After deducting the status bar and app header and bottom bars, pixel fold has a short vertical area for content. In conclusion, Pixel fold sacrifices the inner screen and everything else for a SLIGHTLY better cover screen typing only. Totally stupid imo.

my guy you did the illest example of two phones which let people witness themselves

For the epic. I really like the front display is bigger . I dont like the bezel on the inside. Samsung fold 4 i really live this phone. The only thing i don't like isbthe front display . I ended up using my iphone or open the fold 4. Just because i have to something quick. I give this opinion because i have fold 4 and iphone. Epic is catching up my attention. And is just for the front display. Im going tonwait a little bit on fold 5. Just to see what they offer or still makinfgthe same phone, just changing or moving around the cameras. Otherwise inwill switching to epic.

How much is the pixel

Waiting for fold5 first

In my opinion the screen being wider in the inside you might as well just buy a tablet That's why I think the squarish shape of the Samsung fold is a little bit better especially in terms of aspect ratio because a lot of people who use Samsung Galaxy phone just turn it sideways when it's open anyway which makes it wider

Still prefer the fold 4 feels and design

There is no room for comparison..in fact, I did not work on the Pixel, but by owning the Fold for a period of more than six months, I became attached to it in everything, the greatest thing that Samsung offered was DeX mode ..tnx SAM

Almost jumped... as fold 4 front screen is just too cramped... but no differentiation on pixel fold between front and interior screens for layout are baffling and a deal breaker.

3:24 uhhh galaxy z fold 5? I think your script was off bud :) Just constructive feedback :)

would vote for Pixel, Samsung's design and gap between drives me crazy :)

The Pixel is by far more natural you skin looks great on the Pixel and the Galaxy make the image darker.

If people don't want to open the bigger inner display, why bother buying a foldable

I like the pixel fold better than the galaxy fold but I’m not into foldable yet When the internal screen gets more damage resistant And not to mention coming from Samsung,I don’t want a android for awhile.😊

I’m grabbing the Pixel Fold as soon as T-Mobile opens Pre-Orders. I’m not a fan of Samsungs image processing.

I was always the kind of guy who thought the Surface Duo 2 was better than the Z Fold since the Pixel Fold is closest to the Duo form factor the Pixel is obviously better.

The Z fold 4 has good bass in my opinion

Ill stick with samsung phone the pixel fold looks to small when closed plus i also have a s23 ultra
