I was debating between the Fold5 and the Pixel and went with the Pixel due to the outer screen size. I am excitedly awaiting it's arrival. Hopefully it's not a mistake.
I don't think it is a mistake. I have grown to really like the extra real estate when the Pixel Fold is UNfolded. I, too, like it more normal outer screen size.

But when you first get it you will definitely notice the overall phone is thicker and does weigh a bit more than a standard one screen phone. Other than that, it works like a cell phone but with its optional larger size when unfolded.

Congrats.

I've had mine since basically launch and had been my daily driver pretty much the whole time. I do have other phones but they sit in a drawer more than used.

The probably #1 thing that keeps me with pixels is the call features. Call screening, hold for me and Direct my call just works..

Those are honestly the only things I miss.
(I did miss unlockable bootloader but have overcome that)

Mine has been my only phone since I got it (have to figure out when!). I took almost 1,800 photos in Greece. In and out of pocket lots and lots of time. Unfolding it as my web browers. Worked fine in Greece on Google Fi.

edited to add: Activated on July 21. Sheesh, it's already been nine months.

I've been using my Pixel Fold for quite sometime now ummm. 4 or 5 months I believe and I came from using each of the Samsung Fold variations the last few years.

I honestly prefer the Pixel Fold due to the extra real estate I have on the front screen as comparison to the Samsung Folds. I don't feel as if I need to always open my Pixel Fold since I can actually use the front screen now unlike the Samsung one. It makes a big difference.

Enjoy your Pixel Fold once it arrives!

I came from Z Fold 3 to Pixel Fold. Definitely like the front screen but miss the multitasking capabilities of Z Fold. Just waiting for Z Fold 6 to arrive with wider screen.

I have had the Z Fold 3-5 and have just purchased the Pixel Fold for the closed screen size. It has worked out to be much better for me and just due to the closed screen size.
