Reviewed: Google Pixel Fold

The Google Pixel Fold has a great form factor for holding in the hand, but the large crease bezels make it less than ideal for streaming video.

Although companies like Samsung are several generations into their folding phone lines, the Pixel Fold is Google’s first folding device, and it feels like a first-generation product. The screen doesn’t entirely fold flat when opened, and the smartphone’s user interface doesn’t yet take full advantage of the extra screen real estate introduced. That makes its $1,800 price tag—which is actually the cheapest version of Google’s first foldable—a tough sell.
