Here's hoping they make a great product. I usually like to wait till a 3rd Gen product before jumping in, but I'm missing the versatility my Galaxy fold 3 had. Love my pixel 7 pro too, really looking forward to getting the best of both worlds.
I have the Pixel Fold right now, honestly, it's a pretty good first Gen product in its own right. Factoring in it's a Google first gen hardware product and it's down right amazing. Like holy fuck why couldn't they have been putting hardware out like this from the beginning lmfao
I wasn't entirely sure how this would play out with me, but it's definitely on the side of "Once you go foldy you'll never want to go back" kind of like going from single monitor to multiple monitors, now whenever I go back to a single monitor I'm immediately annoyed
Can't wait for the Pixel Fold 2
I would personally prefer a pixel flip, the fold form factor is so useless imo.
I'm tempted. At the moment my daily carry is a Pixel 7 and an iPad mini. Thing is: the iPad mini is absolutely perfect as an 8" tablet. The Fold is going to have to be amazeballs to even consider switching.
But, carrying around one device would be amazing. Number of times I've been unexpectedly yoinked into a meeting and not had my tablet makes me yearn for this.
The biggest things giving me cause to pause are losing iOS (not that I like it more, but I like being current with both OSes) and the Fold's weight. I won't want to run with the fold in my pocket. Looks like I'll need to also upgrade my watch.
So, really I'd be going from there everyday-carry devices to two. And I would need to upgrade them both.
Makes sense, I thought the Pixel Fold launched at a really bad time.
And how many mortgage payments will that one cost?
