TESTED GOOGLE PIXEL FOLD
After the Fold push
Can Google’s first foldable phone take the fight to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold4 (and new Fold5)? Or does it collapse under its own weighty pricetag?

The Pixel Fold is a big step into the unknown for Google – and not just because it’s the firm’s first stab at a foldable.
Unlike the rest of the Pixel lineup, which sit high up on our ‘best smartphones’ list for their combination of fantastic cameras and keen pricing, this is a £1749 flagship. You’re paying top dollar, and should expect a top-tier experience in return.
On the surface that’s exactly what you’re getting, with a pair of hi-res OLED displays, a trio of capable rear cameras, and power courtesy of Google’s custom Tensor G2 silicon. Android has also been streamlined, with more multitasking options and apps that make better use of the bigger internal screen.
