Review: The Google Pixel Fold is expensive, but if you value multitasking and high-quality photo-taking capabilities, the high asking price might be worth it.
, a smartphone design that very well could be the future. Blurring the line between smartphone and tablet, the Google Pixel Fold not only provides a much larger screen area for multitasking, but a unique change to how a modern smartphone is used.
A single USB-C port on the bottom provides connectivity and supports fast charging with PD-rated chargers. You can also charge it wirelessly and it is Qi certified. I plan on using a phone streamside and it will eventually go for a swim because, fortunately, the Pixel Fold is IPX 8 rated so it can handle being fully immersed.
Currently, the Google Pixel Fold only allows you to have two apps running side-by-side but I found this arrangement intriguing and convenient. Think video conferencing on one screen whilst navigating through your meeting notes on the other. You can have Google Photos open on one side, while you text a friend on the other, casually dragging and dropping pics right into your conversation. At the time of this review though, the Pixel Fold caps at having two apps displayed at a time.
I’ll start with the ultra-wide 10.8-megapixel camera, which features a fairly fast f/2.2 aperture and an equivalent full-frame focal length of around 12mm. The Type 1/3.1 sized sensor makes it quite comparable to the Google Pixel 7 Pro;The ultra-wide lens on the Fold is very similar to the one on the 7 Pro. Colors are punchy as to be expected, but still pleasing.
