Very visible crease on inner display ; Odd approach to app support ; Very expensive

The Google Pixel Fold is a good-looking alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, but with issues with the hinge, crease and more, it’s clear that it’s a first-gen device with improvements needed. It would’ve been somewhat more acceptable had the...

When apps utilise the 7.6in display properly it's glorious ; Much larger front display than Samsung Galaxy Z Fold ; Decent cameras for a foldable phone

Insufficient use of screen sizes, buggy software ; Big and heavy device with sizeable screen bezel ; Runs hot, battery drains fairly fast ; Considerable price tag

No-compromises front screen ; Excellent construction ; Great-looking big screen ; Great cameras and photo tricks

Huge bezel around the tablet screen ; Takes a little push to lie flat ; The price takes some explaining

The Google Pixel Fold is an excellent, multidimensional handset that feels equally at home as a beefy smartphone or a pint-sized tablet, and it marries that versatility with strong performance and stellar photography. If you think of the Pixel Fold as...

It folds like a book! Wider screens make it much nicer to use than Samsung’s Fold4. Multitasking is easy. Excellent AMOLED displays. Good battery life and performance. Smart software. Nice cameras. Lengthy software support.

Palm-friendly form factor and sturdy hinge ; Continues the Pixel’s run of cracking cameras ; Mostly streamlined software

Very visible screen crease with big bezels ; Mediocre battery life and charging speeds ; Folding rivals do split screen much better

A fantastic form factor and streamlined software, but the Pixel Fold feels like a first effort in several key areas.

Excellent cameras ; Great screens ; Google apps optimised for big screen ; Gap-free design

The price ; Many apps not optimised for tablet mode ; Heavy for a phone ; No stylus support
