Hmyeah, one handed, except you can reach the top (nor the last 1/3rd of the screen tbh)

Looks pretty nice, good for Google, maybe they can spice up the Pixel brand, it alls feels a bit cringe lame lately.
Personally I’m not moving or extending to Android no matter how many times it folds, so good old iPhone for me until they make a foldable one or I get FOMO.

Not really but I also don't really need to. I'm not using the phone closed for ALL use cases, just quick access to text messaging and phone calls, media controls or looking things up while on the move.
When trying to be funny backfires because segfaultdotorg isn't aware that interest for flip/dumb phones is up
Why are flip phones coming back? Gen Z is powering a renaissance for the forgotten device
The hashtag #bringbackflipphones has more than 25 million views on TikTok. What flip phones are available now?www.usatoday.com
Dumb phones are on the rise in the U.S. as Gen Z looks to limit screen time
A resurgence in dumb phones in the U.S. may be tied to concerns about the mental health impact of smartphones, especially among younger generations.www.cnbc.com
Selling 10 instead of 5 is a real revolution.
People don’t even want to buy a unifold Pixel what makes them think bifold will be any different? Such a waste of engineering work.
This will undoubtedly be my next phone! So excited for it! I'll be fine paying over 1K for it. After using Apple products for years, electronic prices don't really phase me especially if I use the device everyday.
Just like the notch, you don't even notice it after a while. When the screen is turn on, I forgot the crease was even there on my Fold4.
I know 4 people with them. They all like the phones a lot and don't mind the crease. It's one of those things that becomes less noticeable with time.
I dig the look of this too and will be contemplating getting it. I had zero interest in Samsung's Fold because I just don't enjoy Samsung's software, but I dig the Pixel's aesthetics and software, so I could be persuaded. Will all depend on how commensurate the camera performance is with other Pixel devices and what the price ultimately ends up being.
Interesting. Somehow, your quotes are mis-credited. I wrote the one that was credited to @mjschabow. Anyway...
Like I wrote earlier, I get the allure. I'm just not sure that I am interested in such a device. For me, it will come down to convenience vs. bulk. I'm not looking for bulkier-than-iPhone-14-Pro in my pocket any more than I'm looking forward to the return of cargo pants (which, I'm not and yes, I realize they are returning, somehow - as are pleated pants ffs). 🤪
I'm still not convinced Apple will go the foldable route. Yes, I know foldable are out there, and some rave about them. But most don't. The climate feels primed for the classic Apple to step into a segment adnn remain what it means to have a multi-sized handheld. While fold has proven an obvious line of thinking, I can't help feel Apple will surpass folding in favor of something like scrolling. More like a scroll, less like a book. Maybe a handheld that unrolls can adequately address y bulk and screen crease concerns? No clue. Regardless, it's why I added the footnote in my reply. If anyone can make me consider a foldable handled, it will be Apple. I reserve the right to wait and see what they have to offer - when/if they decide to get in the game. We shall see. 😜
To be fair, my Z Fold 4 is more comfortable in my pocket than my 12 Pro Max ever was, because it isn't nearly as wide. And no, I would never wear skinny jeans so that's not the issue. To each their own though. There's no one size fits all when it comes to cell phones. Rollables will have their day but I think we are at least 3-5 years out from being able to make them water resistant, let alone dust resistant.
This actually looks great but IPX8 just isn't good enough because its not dust proof and the number one enemy of that hinge is your pocket lint.
Samsung's phones might not fold flat when closed but they do have an IP68 rating which to me makes them more valuable.

google Will make a folding phone and a non folding phone. Samsung make a folding and a non folding phone. Their customer have a choice. Apple fans don’t ! They even took away your small phone. If it not your thing spend your money on a gen 1 head set cause that going to make a fold look less of a joke !
Oppo Find N has a better form factor. In the review below, they make it look like its running iOS.

This just became my favorite foldable phone
But if Apple created a foldable phone it would be the best thing since sliced bread?
Oppo is also way more consumer focused. Alphabet aka Google is just a big company that wants your money as well as data mine you to oblivion.Oppo Find N has a better form factor.

I’ll be interested when someone releases a liquidphone that can morph into any shape or size and then fit comfortably in my pocket.
Introducing the Amoeba account from Apple. We couldn't give you a phone, but we took your idea and decided to give you a bank account that morphs into a credit card, savings, checking, or mortgage account, all with one number.
