What reviewers say
Reviewers like the slimmer, more durable design that feels like a normal phone when closed and the large, bright inner screen. Tom's Guide found performance underwhelming, camera gains minor and charging slower than the first Pixel Fold, and judged it a tough sell at its price; TechRadar criticised the AI image tools for producing poor results without marking them as AI-made.
