Let me commence this review by saying that the Google Pixel 7 Pro was my favourite Android phone of the last 12 months (it even won a 2023 T3 Award to that effect). So when Google announced it was to release a folding phone and then detailed it at Google I/O 2023, naturally my heart skipped a beat. Could this be it? Could the Google Pixel Fold be the best folding phone on the planet?
Alas, no. Sure, the Google Pixel Fold is the start of something great, as in terms of specifications it ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to big-screen real-estate, cameras with computational photography advantages, and naturally being first in line for Google's Android software and security updates. Those are the kinds of ticks that get my heart rate up – in a good way!
