How does the new Google Pixel Fold stack up against the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4? As you'll see, there is a lot to consider before making any decision to buy.
The Google Pixel Fold is here, and it has one major competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. The question is, which one is the big-screen folding smartphone to buy?
The Z Fold 4 is 155mm tall by 67mm wide, while the Pixel Fold is 140mm x 75mm, making it shorter and wider, and therefore feels more like a non-folding phone. For reference, a OnePlus 11, which doesn’t fold, is 163mm tall and 74mm wide. It’s the thickness where you’ll notice the most difference, though. The Z Fold 4 has a small gap between sections when folded up, so it’s 15.8mm at the hinge and 14.2mm where the two parts meet. The Pixel Fold doesn’t have the same gap, so it’s a uniform 12.
Previous Next 1 of 2 Samsung’s choice of colors is also more enticing. The Samsung exclusive Burgundy is very tempting, along with the more easily obtained Graygreen option, which joins the more standard black and Beige colors. For the Pixel Fold, you have the choice of Obsidian or Porcelain … and that’s it.
The Pixel Fold hinge design is impressive mostly because Google figured out how to create a hinge that doesn’t have a gap when closed, especially considering that this is the company’s first foldable. But while it’s nice to open up and smooth, we’re not sure about that slight little popping sound it does on our review unit. However, Samsung has been making foldables for years now, and the Z Fold 4 has an impressive hinge overall, so the Z Fold 4 still has the edge here.Pixel Fold vs.
While the Z Fold 4 takes good photos, it can’t keep pace with the brand’s camera flagship, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and this lets the Google Pixel Fold take the lead. While the camera specs aren’t as good as the Pixel 7 Pro, a lot of Google’s camera success comes from its software, and that holds true with the Pixel Fold. We’ve taken the Pixel Fold for a test drive with the cameras, and the colors often come out nice and lively without being over-saturated like Samsung images tend to be.
The Pixel Fold will eventually get a software feature called Dual Screen Interpreter, where live conversations are translated and displayed on the inner and outer screens to help speed up and make conversations in different languages more natural. It will not arrive at launch, though, and is expected sometime in the fall with Android 14.
