Hmm they rejected my verification lol

Problem is my credit card has all the numbers on the back, so naturally I sent them that they said its not good enough asked me to do again. Uploaded the front (it doesn't show the numbers and names), so now I'm just waiting for verification again.

Its kinda their fault because their website only lets you upload 1 photo oh well. It really does seem like they don't want business.

that’s how it started for me and eventually any orders I made were cancelled immediately to me it’s effectively a ban

not even a reseller

Quick review on Fold, hvn't 100% operational, still migrating apps. So far happy with the set.

1.Battery cannot be compared to China phone fast charging. Currently 55% on 45W original power cable says Full in one hours time (timed- 10 min 10% charge, 30 min for 50% charge).
2.Sandisk extreme pro SSD cannot be recognised, plug in says need to format (already using in other Android phones). any tricks from bros here ?
3. Hardware is a beauty. Feels premium.
4. Heavy but not an issue for guys I suppose
5. Google One membership, including the premium AI Pro plan FOC one yr with 2T cloud storage is good

Some updated impressions of the Pixel 10 Fold.

I really like the build quality. In terms of hardware, I’d rank them: Pixel > Honor Magic V5 > Oppo Find N5 > Galaxy Z Fold 7. (The Pixel is the only one I own—I've only tried the others briefly in stores.)

For cameras, though, it's more like Honor Magic V5 > Find N5 > Fold 7 > Pixel. I compared them side-by-side with my iPhone 16 Pro Max, and the Honor Magic V5 was the only one that consistently beat the iPhone. The Fold 7 also struggled with white balance quite a bit under artificial lighting.

In terms of software, the Honor and Oppo are easier for me to use since they mimic iOS. I haven’t used Android properly in a long time, so stock Android still feels quite different as I get used to it. I’ve turned off Apple Intelligence on my iPhone because it’s pretty useless, but some of the Pixel’s smart features are genuinely handy.

One thing the iPhone will always beat global Android phones on is NFC—it has the NFC-Felica chip, so you can use Suica, ICOCA, etc. natively in Japan, whereas most Androids don’t support it due to missing hardware. I travel there often, so that matters to me. That said, with credit card contactless payments now more common in Japan, it’s becoming less of an issue.

Google One membership is great, though since Perplexity is currently giving away a free one-year subscription, it somewhat reduces the value.

Interesting that you prefer pixel's build even though it's thicker.

The perplexity pro free trial how to sign up?
