You don’t have much longer as I’m sure they’ll stick with the early October announcement. Tensor 3 should be nice.

I agree with you on the rounded edges. I’ll likely get it also and switch back and forth between it and my daily. Really hoping they do something extra with the reported temp sensor.

Sorry for the late reply. The app I use updated notifications, so I can see when I get them now.

I’ve noticed it, but I’m unbothered. It’s an ever so slight thing. It’s not super hard to unfold it the full 180 and I don’t feel uncomfortable doing so (I open it the full 180 every time).

It’s a fun phone for sure. I’m surprised at the polish it has for Google’s first foray into foldables.

Nice review. I give it an 8/10.

My only two gripes that I agree with you on…

1. I never had the fingerprint issues that others had with the 6 Pro or 7 Pro, so I miss the on-screen sensor. When the phone is unfolded and I need to turn the phone into portrait, my natural inclination is too rotate it clockwise… which makes my fingers mash the power and volume buttons. When folded, the bottoms should be on the top half, imo.

2. Yeah… The inside screen is waaaay to shiny and the reflections are a distraction when viewing content.

Cameras, software, phone calls, etc are ok on my end though.

Lastly, I bought this phone because I thought it would be a great media consumption device. In reality, I find myself using the smaller, outer screen more than I’ve used my 6 Pro or 7 Pro. I rarely use the inside unless I’m writing a long-ish email or need the dual-pane for a lot of cutting and pasting. Using the outer screen so much makes me wish for a pixel mini so bad. Or even a size similar to the regular iPhone Pro would be nice. Oh well.

All-in-all, it’s more than solid for the niche group that it was built for. I’m just not sure that I’m in that group. I’m not sure that I won’t get a Pixel 8 Pro also. I just enjoy using the smaller outside screen of the fold so much.

Legendary ending and silly humor throughout made this my goat game. Super Mario World and Super Metroid tie for second.

The 4a was indeed a good size as was my all-time fav, the Pixel 5.

I hope something comes of this.
