re: Been using the pixel fold for over a month now

I just updated to a Fold 5 because my Fold 4 internal screen crapped out. Will probably give the Pixel Fold 2 because I have love my pixel 6 pro. What are the things you enjoy over your fold 4 and what do you miss?

Let's start with what I miss from the fold 4. Honestly the only thing I actually find myself wishing the pixel had was pen support. But the pixel fold is a much better form shape factor, putting in and out of pockets it's easier to me. I enjoy the size of the phone more so carrying a pen might hamper that.
There is about more I like about the pixel.
1) the cameras are much better that the zfold 4
2) the software experience is much smoother and I really enjoy the stock android experience. I found my zfold 4 had more glitches especially with Android Auto
3) the hardware feels more "premium" on the pixel fold. I think the hinge setup is a much better design
4) the overall size of the pixel makes the front screen so much better to use than the narrow zfold screen. It's it a much more normal smartphone experience
5) the way Google uses it's native apps on the big screen when open it's just genius. They didn't use the stretch it to fit model than Samsung did.
6) the multitasking on the big inner display is so much fun to use. It's so much nicer to have the wider screen, at times the Samsung felt cramped.
In conclusion I think pixel nailed the foldable, especially on the first go around. The hardware feels more premium, it's has a much smaller design when closed, the wider screens just feel more natural to look at, the pictures are better compared to the zfold 4, and Google has designed their native apps to work differently with their fold. It's just a better experience.

I did forget to add one thing
I missed the ability to customize each screen individually, like I was able to do on the Samsung. You can have different wallpapers and app layouts for the lock screen, home screen, and small front screen. So essentially I can have three different layouts
With the pixel once you set it up one way it's the same through and through. At first I found myself missing it but now not so much. I would imagine in a later date Pixel would include an update to allow you to do these things, they seem to be very good about addressing things through updates
