Pixel Fold!

It's everything I need in a foldable with the sweet sweet software from Pixel.

Only thing that sucks is the cost. Definitely for the enthusiast

I have the z fold. How do you think it compares?

[–] dub@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So to be honest a lot of it might stem from the fact that I was on Samsung software for so long I was getting kind of annoyed at all the little glitches and hiccups. In a very cohesive environment and especially having this kind of fold software it always felt like a beta thing.

Or with the pixel feels like there's much more of a enhanced almost iPhone like experience with the full. I can grant that there is less maybe functionality in terms of multitasking and stuff but I really use those features so rarely that I don't miss them

Dad and coupled with the front form factor that's so much better for me and that I can actually take really nice photos and have all the nice little pixel features, its a no brainer for me

Do apps play better on the unfolded screen? I've noticed that some apps hate the aspect ratio of the fold and refuse to display nicely even with samsung labs tweaks (looking at you spotify).

so i havent had many apps that didnt play nice. but i dont use too many apps like instagram or anything. the worse culprit ive had is tik tok but then all you need to do is rotate the screen and it mostly solves that issue
