Google's Pixel Fold is a worthy challenger for the best flexible phone

Google's first go at making a big, fancy flexible phone – the Pixel Fold – feels like a win. Its wider exterior screen is a welcome twist to the standard foldable format, and it offers better cameras and a thinner chassis than Samsung's alternative. Plus with software tweaks that include a handy taskbar, simplified multitasking, and more than 50 first-party optimized apps, the Pixel Fold feels like an ambassador for Google’s vision for the future of Android. However, while the Pixel Fold joins Samsung's rivals as one of the few flexible phones to feature substantial water resistance, it hasn't moved the needle much on price. So unless you're willing to drop $1,800 on a handset, Google's enticing new foldable may remain out of reach.
