Google Pixel Fold - Unlocked Android 5G Smartphone with Telephoto Lens and Ultrawide Lens - Foldable Display - 24-Hour Battery - Obsidian - 256 GB (Renewed)

I decided to buy the GOOGLE PIXEL FOLD as an either OPEN BOX or RENEWED because I found the cost economical.I was a user of the Galaxy Fold series, but the cost of these devices just was too expensive. Especially compared to other Fold phones. I am very happy with my purchase. The phone came in the original box and looked brand new--with no scratches or blemishes. Excellent quality. Again, for a fractional cost.Google branded items are at the forefront of all technology. The Pixel Fold is comfortable to hold and flawless as an open tablet style device which allows for easy viewing of business spreadsheets and/or watching TV. The battery life is exceptional. Picture quality is good, though I'm not a camera-specialist. I've found an array of cases for my GOOGLE PIXEL FOLD. I really appreciate the wideness of the pixel fold vs the narrow phone screen on others.RENEWED was packed as brand new. A wonderful experience.

I've had my Pixel Fold now for about two months. I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max after being an iPhone user since the iPhone 3g. Something about a foldable was just too cool not to try. I got the phone for around $600 shipped to my door. I bought it as "Refurbished - Excellent", and that's exactly what I got. I couldn't tell if the phone was ever even used prior to me getting it.I've been using it without a case, just a glass screen protector on the front and one over the camera. The front glass does seem to micro scratch pretty easily, hence why I needed up with the screen protector.The battery life and charging speeds were a concern after reading about them, but I don't have any issues with either, period. I didn't charge the phone last night and I'm on it now, typing this review, with 30% battery life. If I had to compare, I'd say my iPhone had better battery life, but it isn't that noticeable and the Pro Max models are known for their exceptional battery life anyway.So what issues have I had?I mentioned the front display scratching easily which is a bummer, but I think they're using glass that is more resistant to shatter, so it's softer.Google Assistant. I miss Siri, and boy was Siri frustrating. I assumed Google's assistant was miles ahead, but not even close. Siri is more usable and I also hate saying Google to summons the assistant. Shouting a brand name just feels dirty. I just don't summons the assistant by voice anymore. Gemini is a step up, but still requires saying Hey Google. I thought android would allow more customization like changing the wake word, but no sir.The dang google search bar at the bottom of the screen. There's a search bar permanently at the bottom of the screen with Google's logo prominently across it. You cant get rid of it. I thought Android was known for its customization, but I never had an Apple logo plastered to my screen 24/7. The only thing you can do is replace the launcher with a third party one. I couldn't find one I liked. Lawnchair was the closest that kinda supports folding phones.Apple Music. You cannot ask Gemini to play a specific song. It doesn't currently support apple music integration. You'll also want to kill the apple music app from running in the background after you're done using it. Otherwise you'll notice excessive battery drain. It needs to be able to run in the background to continue playing after locking the phone.It doesn't fold open completely flat. It's true. I wish it snapped open, but it's a V1 product.Heaviness. The phone is a bit on the heavy side. I don't notice it too much in the pocket, but using it while folded in the closed position can feel a bit heavy after awhile. Using it while open feels great. The thickness while closed (again, with no case) is almost exactly the thickness of my iPhone 13 Pro Max with its case, a pretty thin case too.Overall I love it and I'm keeping it. It'a a cool piece of tech. And for the price, I don't have to worry too much about something happening to it, though I do take good care of it. I use it opened probably 60% of the time. I use it with a PS2 emulator, all the emulator really, and played through Simpsons Hit and run already. As a bonus, the feeling of it snapping closed is satisfying.

8 months after purchasing the pixel fold the inner screen stop working on it's own, the phone was not mishandled or drop. I contacted the seller and they said "take it to the repair shop" which I did and the repair shop said the phone has a screen malfunction at no fault of my own. Now that this information has been established the seller will not contact me at all. Do waste you money on a product that is defected and not reliable whom the seller will not back their product.

Hands down!!!its GOOGLE!!!their inventors are ingenious!!For one the price of a Google pixal is far superior than samsung,in my opinion (sry sammy)The entire phone is solid all the components work well, it's structured and built to last.well you could feel it when you hold it in your hand, it feels solid and great as you open up the fold it becomes a mini a mini computer. Zoom ability, color and camera are impeccable awesome. How convenient is that,it's BETTER THAN Mega Galaxywhat to look for in a Google fold pixel phone , when you close that foldit's closed together and it stays together there's no Gap., however with the Samsung fold there's a gap, it's skimpy in width .width is to narrow and length to long making ut clumzy abd awkard to hold.the speed in goggle pixel fold is super greatest, speed on the Google pixel, suprisingly are no advertisements . Anazing.I got a 512 GBit was under $600.00Unlocked, cell phone providers can't make $$$ off me or my purchase. Or over charge me as becoming prisioner in their 2yr contract.It brand new.I purchased my google pixel fold on Amazon as opposed to t mobile in the store, will they talk you into buying a phone that isn't really free, it's just all a bunch of sales bologna.for exampleT-Mobile or Verizon or aby carrior not only arw they' going to charge you for the phone, that you weee tild was free ,but you're going to be paying twice as much.it To be fair, Samsung does make a respectable product, however Google is far superior and has got this one!! the phone is great they also make a third party case, with a with a keyboard and it's relatively not that expensive and it will work with the Google pixel mini or Google pixel Android.I can't tell you how happy I am I took one look at the Samsung fold and thought "Oh this is not for me". because it doesn't feel right the Samsung feels too tall and too thin or to Tall and very narrow. the Google pixel fits perfectly and it's it's solid. Better colorand better camera and speed.5G 512GB I mean you can't go wrong with the Google pixel phone it's the best thing I've seen. I wish I would have known this but way back when.so if you're in the market for a new cell phone I would highly recommend the Google pixel mini or six whatever it's a Google pixel Android fold it's not that hard to type I thought it would be difficult, but I use a swipe and it's perfectly fine, it's easy I make less spelling errors on that than a regular typewriter.so it's up to you, but I'm with you, Jyst like you I want to spend money wisely Google pixel fold is the way to go. Choose wisely.Heart 2 heart
