I’ve been on the fence on the Fold 2 ever since the aspect ratios/screen sizes were revealed.

On one hand, I really like the 0G folds short but wide passport form factor, it’s the second biggest reason I held off getting one of those really narrow Galaxy Folds (biggest being, it’s still a SamSuck lol) and the Fold 2s upcoming changes means the unfolded form is going to be pretty much a square

But on the other hand, I think it would be better for one of the biggest uses I use my Fold unfolded for: Remoting into various desktops, since the Fold 2 will be more like 2 8/9 regular pros next to each other it should allow for a bit better “widescreen” when rotated (I like to have the desktop screen on the top and the OSK on the bottom “laptop style”) and even though it’s a square it should be bigger overall

What are your guys thoughts on the Fold 2? Are you upgrading or waiting and seeing what the Fold 3 will look like (and the TSMC 3nm Tensor)

    I’d say not worth it for pixel 9 in general, I want to see what their in house chip would do but also don’t think I’ll preorder and see how it goes even thougj their new device promos tend to be good.

    I have similar feeling about new 9 pro fold. I’m not a fan of the new form factor. I love OG pixel fold passport style.

    Also 9 pro fold, corners are more rounded. I like Galaxy z fold6’s square corners better, feels less wasting spaces, but doesn’t like OneUI (also fold6 cameras are not my taste, lens are not sharp)

    I’m not excited for pixel 9 pro fold or Galaxy z fold6. My OG fold is in good condition and have a preferred care, so, maybe I’m gonna just skip upgrade this year, I don’t know.
