Just Purchased a Pixel 9 Pro Fold - What's Your Experience?

I love this god damn phone.

Love it.

I won't spoil anything as far as experience for you.

Use it for a month and come back to your thread OP.

Welcome home. 😀

I've had mine since launch, very happy overall.

I don't stress phones very hard, don't play games, mostly consume media or read pdfs. For everything I do, performance is excellent. I listen to music or podcasts through bluetooth for 10 hrs a day at work and I get 2 days out of a charge.

This one I have now is my second one, the first one I had was a dud out of the box, inner screen died in less than a day. But I took it back, had it replaced with a new one, and zero issues with this one.

I had an OtterBox case on at first, with no hinge protection. I was unhappy with the sharpness of the edges of the case at the hinge side, and it didn't fit with an external screen protector. So I bought a cheaper case with hinge protection and integrated screen protector. It's much more comfortable to hold.

I went from a pixel 7 pro to this, no regrets. It helps that I got it for like half price at launch.

Had mine since launch with the Google case and durability has been just fine. I work in construction and have a couple young kids that grab it sometimes so I was initially worried about it but no complaints. Only time I'm cautious with it is when I go to the beach. Performance has been good. Can't say it blew me away or anything, my prior phone was only a couple years old, but it's handled everything I've thrown at it without issue. I wish more apps better supported the form factor but it's a minor gripe about an otherwise solid phone.

Love mine. 2 months in. Have had every flagship phone and this one is my favorite, slightly better than my Fold 6 for me but not by much. Way better than all the iPhone's I've owned.

Returned mine as I just didn't trust myself not to break it.

Thought it was a good phone but the screen is the wrong shape for YouTube and other videos so the screen ended up at a similar size as the pro max.

So I just ended up with the pro max for battery life and camera etc

I came from iPhone 16 Pro Max and this is my honest review.

Pro:

• I love the stock android experience, coming from 15 years of iOS experience. Android is definitely more fun to use

• Google Photos editing tools

• Battery is good especially during idle

Cons:

• Slow charging speed. Wireless is almost unusable especially when you come from iPhone's 25w Qi2

• Bad camera performance in door or in places with low lighting.

• the grip and device ergonomic not as good. I'm using it without a case now

• Inner foldable screen is nice to have. Been using the outer screen most of the time thanks to the size.

I'm still using 16PM as my daily driver but I keep coming back to P9PF despite all the weaknesses.

I switch phones constantly because I love to, had the original fold and although I enjoyed it there were definitely shortcomings. I double with an iPhone 15 pro and have had many iPhones mainly for thee stupid blue bubble ecosystem and my wife 😮‍💨 and as much as I love the iPhone it's so boring and you can't even make it your own, all iPhones look and do the same.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Pixel 9 pro fold, I told my wife it would be the last phone I would buy for years and I'm seriously sticking to that with no regrets. I have so much fun with it and I'm 85% of the time on it and 15% on my iPhone. I'm always customizing my home screen, adding new widgets, icons, etc I'm never bored of it. It also helps that I love the design, but since I'm keeping it for a few years I put on the slimmest cases I can find. One thing I would recommend is going against the hinge protection, I did and have been fine. I bought a case with the hinge protection and it's so annoying and obstrusive that your phone can't even lie flat.

Anyways, best of luck and I hope you love the phone as much as I do!

P.s.try Octopi launcher it's the best I've found for customizing both outside and inner screen ✌️

I just got the 256 version on Friday so can't say much yet. I will say only charging to 80% is tight on battery life for me. Flipping back to 100 and adaptive charge for time being.

I've had it for about 3 months. I have a mous case that's protecting the back and a screen protector protecting the front.

I love the phone. The hinge is unprotected but the phone is quite durable. It's fallen from my pocket (while sitting in a chair) but haven't had any issues.

The battery life is good. I charge it to 80% and top up when it gets to 20%. It depends on how much and for what I use it for.

I play call of duty on the phone, watch videos and read articles.

It's a great phone. I had to switch my phone. My old iPhone xs max was broken.
