Actually just curious, anyone had experience of Google preorder shipping out pre orders earlier than expected?

In the past, the credit was provided as promo code and to be applied at checkout.
So there was no balance if ur purchase is less than the credit
I guess this time is different, they introduced a credit wallet in the Google store. So I guess it's a direct top up not voucher issue.

I wasn’t even tempted to buy Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
I was gonna get the base Pixel 9 256GB.
Thanks to generosity of the people here I’m considering one.

I just got the 15% off voucher, and will leave it in my cart while I ponder whether I should get the Fold.

Anyone here has experience with folding phones in general? I’m concerned about the longevity and durability of the inner screen and the hinge. Do I need to be extra careful when handling such phone?

sorry man you don't belong here.

us folks here don't wait for review or demo set one, we just YOLO, the pain comes after

/s


on a serious note, i'm in the same boat as you with the same considerations and fears.
went to hands on with magic fold, galaxy fold, the find n3 and i'm optimistic.. even my friend who imported the original pixel fold is still happy with his.

Don't bother with foldable if you so concerned so much.

Hahaha. I’m tempted to get without seeing the set myself. Discount and store credit too good offer.

Is this your first foldable phone?

Longevity and durability really depend on each and own common sense but it's not as fragile as most imagine.

As for feature and app accustomization etc... better look at fold 6. They can chu many more pattern but non honestly worth the time in the long run...most usually new phone try a few time than forget it exist after 1 month.

The biggest benefit would be web browsing, or maybe remote desktop back to your pc for some quick information. And of coz, it's pixel OS.

Even media consuming is not that much of a big difference if u ask me... just put any current 6.8 inch current flagship into landscape mode and it's about the same size as viewing from the internal foldable and maybe slightly taller.

This is coming from a guy who used...Fold 1, 2, ,4 and Oppo Find N, Oppo Find N2 , Oppo Find N3 many other candy bar -_-"

I intending to get the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2 with the store credit so it seems like a really good deal if I’m going all in.

I was originally gonna pay $1029 for the 256GB Pixel 9.

However, $2039 with the 256GB Fold, Pixel Buds and Pixel Watch sounds also good.

Is it cumbersome to hold the phone while using the outer screen since it’s thicker than regular phone?

Is it comfortable to use the keyboard on the inner screen since when opened it’s quite wide?

Thanks for sharing your experience anyways!
