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!
