The new Pixel Fold, priced at $1,800, has a notable crease in the middle of its screen, which V finds to be a significant trade-off. While the large screen is praised, the crease's prominence and the overall cost are noted as reservations.
“But the problem is, is that the fold in the middle of the screen is still very prominent. And you can definitely feel it when you're swiping around. And that's the trade-off you get.”
“And, you know, it's expensive. It's $1,800 for the Pixel Fold. So, you know, that's a lot of money to spend to have the middle of your screen feel like a ditch.”
“And I think those reservations are really about the price and the crease.”
