I got a sweet 20% discount from Google and traded my 7 Pro in so be a lot cheaper than eBay. Plus warranty 😁 which I may need given I go away to Cornwall in September with it and beaches and foldables... 😑
Got a tip for us?

Right there with ya brother. There's things that aren't perfect but I love the form factor and the little things Google adds to the device that you mentioned that are so valuable to me. Of course I wish the bezels were just slightly smaller. I love that Z Fold display when unfolded. I would like brighter displays like the ones on the Z Fold. But in the end I just love using this device from the outer display, the inside one when I need it, the camera. Its been an all around joy to use. The thing that will keep me hanging on to it is the improvements that I know will come in the future. Google didn't just throw out a foldable to say "look, we did it". They are going to continue to refine the experience through software updates and 3rd party apps will be optimized in the future. The potential of this device has me really excited.
Keep you a backup phone handy for the beach. I took mine on the beach for a week and it survived but sand gets everywhere no matter how much you try. A couple of grains got to the inside display on mine and when you close it the sand will leave little pits on the screen or bezel. Not a huge deal but I do notice them on occasion.
Yep 100% looking forward to improvements indeed my friend...
Battery life is one thing that's definitely improving.
Nice
.. I’m running good with battery as well.. definitely plenty of the heavy lifting with my phone
This is good to hear since I'm getting a porcelain on Monday. Lmao. I'm putting android 14 on it immediately.Nice.. I’m running good with battery as well.. definitely plenty of the heavy lifting with my phone
just set up new in 14 ....
That's the plan! I wish I hadn't returned my obsidian but I really wanted the porcelain to begin with lol and now I can wait for the pixel watch 2 or try out the 6 classic.Exactlyjust set up new in 14 ....
Anyone have experience with using a galaxy watch with a pixel?
Wait what? 😂
So you returned the original Pixel Fold.
Ordered ZFold 5 and watch
Now another Pixel Fold?
Giving up on the ZFold 5 already?
This sounds like a normal day in the Android section of MacRumors. 😁
I'm using my Galaxy watch 5 Pro with my PF right now and it works great. I like the Pixel Watch better but it's so small

Hahaha ha yes well for one this whole Visible thing has irked me, I did finally get a physical Sim shipped to me after 90 minutes of trying. But and I should have known this but this cover display is irking my soul. I tested out typing on it for a good 5 minutes and holy typos batman!! Plus the watch is super delayed. I just prefer the build of the pixel fold. I have crapped on every pixel because I have never liked the designs but holy heck Google knocked it out of the park with the fold design. It's like iPhone levels of sexy
Yes it is lol. I'm a hot mess at the moment.This sounds like a normal day in the Android section of MacRumors.
Cool are you pretty much able to do everything? Are you using the latest connectivity also?
I know certain health features won't work but I don't care about that as long as I can do phone calls, listen to music, use nfc for payments when leaving my fold behind I'm Gucci.
Yep it does everything I need just fine. But man I'd pay a small fortune to have my Apple Watch Ultra work with this phone
Haha I know what you mean. I love my apple watch ugh. Apple just nailed the wearable while Google and others are trying to catch up.

Except he’s still two chess moves away from end game
Using the S23U today. Man if I had to choose between these two it would be tough. 😬
Loved S23U ...great phoneUsing the S23U today. Man if I had to choose between these two it would be tough.
Still loving this phone after almost a month. I have my Flip 5 all set up now too, and even though I play around with it some, I just can't bring myself to swap Sims yet, the pixel is just so enjoyable to use.
I was going to pick up a flip 5 yesterday but decided you know what let me just enjoy this phone I enjoy it too much and I know I'm not going to get enough usage time with the flip...
We some tech hoarding MFs up in here lmao
I'm not part of tech hoarding group lol. I personally avoid doing the most (no shade to those who do)... I enjoy the minimalist approach, but I live vicariously through the group and enjoy reading up on the experiences whether good or bad.We some tech hoarding MFs up in here lmao
And from this thread... its clear Google has done great so far with the Pixel Fold. Although, I'm more of a Galaxy Fold user... it's awesome to see users appreciate the foldable experience.
