    Same. I don’t even mind Tensor 2 in it. It runs fine enough and I never had any overheating. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware.

    My main gripe is with how heavy it is. It’s tiring having to hold it for extended periods when I mostly use the outer screen (which is the perfect screen size, but that’s a whole other thing). And yeah… watching media on the inner screen with a crease and with the size of the media the same as a normal smartphone… it’s just something I looked over before purchasing.

    I regret buying it also. But… I would have also regretted buying the Galaxy Fold, OnePlus Open, or any other foldable. Right now, my Pixel Fold just sits in a drawer as an overly expensive backup device while I use a Pixel 8 Pro as my daily. Will likely use the Fold as a trade-in for the Galaxy Ultra in January/February.





  • I’m guessing here, but are any of those products on that website both purchasable AND given a guaranteed product support time? Or to make it more specific, has Google ever killed off a phone (Nexus and Pixel years, so 15 years total) prior to its end of support date?

    I don’t believe they have. Stadia, a non-phone product, is the closest thing. Of course it’s not a phone and Google also didn’t give a eol date before its release. When it was killed they refunded any purchased games. So I guess the better question is would you be fine with getting a refund in the amount of your purchase of a Pixel 8/Pro if they didn’t hold up their end of the bargain?

    I know some of the comments in the community are tongue-in-cheek, but if Google were to keep the prior support date or do what they did today by increasing them, folks still wouldn’t be happy.
