I'll make it easy on you what are you trading in? How much is it going to cost you?
thanks man....I want to see which one I will like more.....the PF or the S23U.
Trade in value sucks it would better to sell the S23U rather than trade it in

As much as I love my S23U it's collecting dust right now. I may end up selling
That is a big endorsement! My S23U has been rock solid for me. It is a true workhorse and productivity beast!
I am just afraid I will not replicate that in the PF. Then the price and longevity is another concern as well.

I would've kept my S23U If it was working ...but I do love so many things about the PF and especially the on the go with form factor and stock UI...battery will not be a workhorse for you ....be prepared to bump charge ...

I've been easily making through the day with 4+ hours of screen on time and 20-30% left when it goes on the charger at night. I have brightness cranked up as I like a bright screen.
I make it till EOD on most days too but if I'm going workhorse mode it will need the bump...when I was using the S23U I could go to the second day easily

Whats been your iMessage Android client? Have you gotten BlueBubbles up and running...
I'd been on the Beeper waitlist forever and my number was finally called. Been using it for a couple weeks alongside AirMessage just to make sure everything is working correctly. So far it's been working great and I love the UI and functionality.

Thanks but I love your zoom shot which I can never get them that close or detailed
Wondering if it has to do with the amount of light pollution in the photos. That shot was taken on the beach in Florida. I can get pretty good ones at home as well as I live outside the city with alot of undeveloped land around me.

Yeah I definitely understand those concerns. I'd still say the S23U is the best device on the market at the moment. The PF just appeals more to the things I like. I prefer the Pixel experience and I love the convenience and utility of foldable devices. Battery life has been solid for me. I'm getting over 6 hours SOT with some room to spare. Not in S23U territory but not terrible by any means. I've been making the PF a workhorse as well but I'm not going to lie I miss the S-Pen from the ZF4. Still when putting together a list of pros and cons, I have zero regret. Call screen and Google Assistant are game changers for me. No harm in giving it a 14 day trial run and returning it.

Interesting, I’ve got accepted from Beeper… but I like all the features and everything that comes with BlueBubbles. Especially the two column layout… does Beeper have a two column layout when using inner display on the Pixel Fold?

I'm sure this borough is contributing to my photo quality

Unfortunately there is no two column layout. Not a huge issue for me as a large majority of my messaging is done on the outer screen. Still I hope to see it added in the future.

I was able to trade in my Razr at Verizon for $900, and att has 900 off no trade in required. You also might be able to get a better trade in offer at Best Buy.

was tempted to pull trigger due to the front display but in the end the chip and the device when opened and software is just superior on the fold 5. think value for money is better on the samsung.

Does bluebubbles let you edit messages? I noticed that beeper and sunbird don’t have that.

Yup! You’ll need to enable Private API in order for that work. I’ve done it for myself.. process wasn’t too complicated.

Is there a notification alert when we hang up on a call ? I'm not seeing it and it annoys me when I'm finished on a call ...
