Have had my Pixel Fold for about a month now and it's been nothing short of pleasant. Both displays on the phone are made by Samsung, so expect a pleasurable viewing experience. The inside screen has zero marks/scratches after a month of daily use. Cameras are similar to the Pixel 7 Pro, don't have any complaints what so ever here. Battery life is alright, not quite as good as modern non folding phones, but I'm still getting roughly 8 hours of screen on time per charge. With that being said, I've been able to go 40-48 hours without charging my phone on multiple occasions. Software experience is pretty light weight, no weird battery drain or preinstalled bloatware. Pixel Fold's fingerprint reader has been flawless for me, recognizes my finger every single time. 5G cellular signal has been pretty good as well. Paired with Google Fi (T-Mobile) I've never had signal strength issues both in and out of the city. Only complaint I could give is that the speakers are a little quiet compared to non folding phones. They're good clear speakers don't get me wrong, just not super loud.

This phone has been a great purchase. There has been a lot of criticism for this phone, but I believe that they are over exaggerated. The battery has been really good for me, and I don't notice the crease or the fact that it doesn't unfold 100% flat. I also find that the pictures are very good. I believe that this phone checks off every box I want it to and am grateful to Google for making it,

OK 1st gen phone, but clunky heuristics with fold

I was very excited to purchase this phone back in June 2023. The pros are obvious and stated by other users here as well as on CNET, Wired, CNET, etc.
On the flip side, the phone has fallen victim to the same fallacy affecting other first-generation novelties - focusing on the breakthrough feature but sacrificing both basic features associated with a smartphone. Moreover, the Fold (even when compared to the Galaxy) is quite rudimentary and lfalls short with heuristics that define the user experience interacting with a table-type phone.
Battery - Terrible as always. I’ve never had a Pixel phone where I didn’t have the battery saver on by defaults nd it still dies within 3/4 of my day without charge
No good case - Even , the front portion of the case easily loses its adhesiveness around the 2-3 mm border. This is more of an issue with the case, but the design of the phone itself does not allow for an appropriate case for the front panel
Front panel - Very difficult to backwards swipe to go to a previous web page when viewing in a broswer- will usually just translate to the next Home Screen panel
Fold display - this clearly a first draft and I wish I had waited for the third. So many issues:
Screen takes 2-3 seconds to “turn on” when unfolding the phone
Google tries very hard to describe the two panel feature, but it is FAR from self-explanatory. Moreover, even basic apps from Google do not function properly, with many text-entry app functions missing the keyboard for swipe or text (forcing me to fold the phone to the single display to have the keyboard pop up)
Several apps will take up 1.t5 screens
They keyboard, when it appears, has a humungous gap in the keyboard between the panels, making swype inefficient and unusable
Incompatibility between Gmail and Dropbox - this apparently is an issue for all Google / Android phones
Ongoing Android/iPhone MMS disconnect - leading to granular video appearing when Apple and Android users are together on MMS
Unlocked phones have data reconnecrtivity issues after switching to Wi-Fi for calling (no signal) but then having an issue with the Wi-Fi at the location itself. After a couple hours, once you leave the dead zone area and return to 5G/LTE areas, the phone can take hours to reconnect to Verizon. Even with toggling Airplane mode, SIM card, and multiple restarts
Awkward tapping of the rear horizontal camera panel to take a screenshot - absolutely inconsistent and clumsy
Significant lag in accessing text messages especially when you have multiple years of conversations stored)
Camera quality IMHO took a hit compared to Pixel 6 and predecessors
Verizon general signal issues.

Love the more landscape aspect ratio. I was worried about the glossy inner screen and the crease, but they really aren't a problem, even in bright conditions. Solid performance, and great photos.

The one problem I’ve had with all of Samsung foldable phones is the skinny outer screen and the phone being super thick. This phone is skinnier due to being able to fold flat. I like the wider outside screen it’s about as wide as my iPhone pro max but as short as a IPhone pro. We’ll see how it holds up but super impressed with google first into the fold experience.

This phone is by far the best foldable I've used. I've used many foldables every Samsung foldable since the first to the 4th generation. This one has it all beat. The price is a little high but to me is well worth it. If you're looking for a foldable phone, this cannot be beat. If you are a pixel owner looking for a foldable phone, this is the one!!
