Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold – Unlocked Android Smartphone with Gemini – Advanced Triple Rear Camera System – Foldable Display – Hands-Free Video – Obsidian – 256 GB

An absolute joy to use
I hadn’t tried a Pixel phone since the Pixel 2 XL, which was one of my all time favorite devices. I decided to stick to Apple’s ecosystem since then, just for simplicity sake, since the rest of our family all use iPhones. I decided to bite the bullet and dip my toe back in the Android world with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and I have to say, I could not be happier with the decision.Battery life has been phenomenal and I’ve not hit the end of a day where I was lower than 60% left. That’s with a fairly extensive use of the device, including video watching, replying to emails, using navigation, and some casual browsing. I don’t really do much game playing so I can’t speak to that.Phone quality has felt fantastic. I’ve no complaints what so ever on how the device feels in the hand, or behaves. The OS feels buttery smooth and the hardware is just delightful to use.All of the screens are very good, but being a foldable, it’s really all about that interior display, and I’ve been thoroughly pleased with it. There is a slight crease where the phone folds but you honestly don’t notice it when you’re using the device. Just if the light hits it just right or you’re dragging something with your finger across the length of it. But that’s true of all foldable.Durability seems good, although it’s early days. I’d highly recommend a case that protects the hinge because I’ve been reading a few reports online of folks getting small rocks or even sand trapped in the hinge or inner display and it causing problems. No surprises there really, I’d expect that to be a risk.The face unlock works pretty well, except in low light conditions. But the fingerprint reader works flawlessly so, unlike my iPhone, I’m not forced to immediately resort to a PIN. Also, if you pair this with a Pixel Watch 3, the watch can act like you’re biometric unlock, so you almost never need to deal with any of that anyway. Great stuff!

Amazing phone, didn’t come unlocked as listed
The phone is amazing. It did not come unlocked to any carrier as specified. It arrived tied to TMobile, so I could not set up my phone without going to a TMobile store first. That was annoying. Other than that, phone is great.

Not pleased with the product.
This product is nowhere near worth the value. The folding phone where the software has not been figured out yet. The camera quality out of the box was not great. Had to do a lot of changes in settings. I like the phone. I like the concept. I like the folding screen. The bigger screen is what I bought it for, but if the phone doesn’t work half the time it becomes more of a frustration than an enjoyment. I missed a return by 30 days unfortunately. I was hoping maybe I needed to update it or figure it out but it’s not me. It’s you. These kind of phones will be cool when the software is figured out, but right now the speed the weight the feel is not where it needs to be. This phone cost me $1,950 in total plus the cover and I want my money back. I could have bought a $300 phone that worked 90% of the time. Instead I have a phone that I’m I’m in the moment I’m needing to get on the device and it’s just not working. It’s not open but the inside screen’s on or it is open and no screens on or the outside screen is on. It’s like the phone is n’t working when I needed it to work. Where is the speed? It’s like a cheap trick that cost 2,000 bucks.

Love this Phone
Just got the phone 2 days ago and it was a big upgrade from my S22 software is nice os is simple and the inner display is big and birght been playing games and watching tv on it. Only con i can think of is after 40 mins of gaming starts to lag a tiny bit but it is not as bad as people say. Overall would recommend!!

Great phone quality, very speedy and responsive, feels good, easy to useOnly downside is finding a decent phone case to fit

Even on sale this phone is still very expensive, but I decided to treat myself. I have eyesight limitations which make reading a small screen problematic and some Apps don’t allow for enlargement. The larger screen works great in most circumstances. The phone has all the features I wanted like wireless charging, 5G and a high end camera system. Migration of Apps and data from my old Samsung was very easy and even the SIM card transfers digitally. The only thing I didn’t like was the very slippery feel of the phone in my hands. It takes a bit of dexterity to open the fold feature without the phone slipping through the fingers. This made me worry about dropping it especially when using the camera. I invested in a genuine leather case by Torro which makes the phone bulkier, but also makes it feel much more secure in my hands. I highly recommend the case as well.

I was looking to get either the 9 pro or 9 pro XL. Then came across this, watched some reviews and decided to spend a months rent on it :DIt’s great, if you want to protect it, get the Spigen case BUT make sure you get the accompanying Spigen screen protector for the front screen (if you want a screen protector). Others may well not fit with the case. Bare in mind the case does make it hefty thing but all phones are massive now anyway!Fold phones are great, its a phone, its a kindle, its a great media device, install an emulator you can play gamecube etc games on the big screen, its a tablet, albeit a mini tablet.It’s expensive sure, but what isn’t nowadays. You get years of updates so all good. Will the fold incur issues in the future? That’s future me’s problem. It’s a cool thing and there to be enjoyed, get insurance and then you’re covered.
