The Pixel Fold folds the right way
are some of the coolest smartphone features around, and they’re even nicer to use on the big Pixel Fold display.While both the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Pixel Fold seem made for multitasking on those great big internal displays, the Pixel Fold is a bit limiting, and this may be to its benefit. On the Pixel Fold, you can run two apps side-by-side. That’s it. You can’t fill your screen with multiple tiled apps in countless open windows and floating bubbles.
On Samsung phones, especially on the big Galaxy Z Fold 4, you can knock yourself out opening as many apps as you please. You can run probably a dozen apps in shrunken windows, side-by-side, and as pop-up buttons, all at the same time. There are side panels that swipe in from a hidden side tab. Then you can pull out your S Pen and write sticky notes on top of everything.It can be a bit chaotic.
Google’s phone may seem simplified at first, but it gets the experience right. Because the external display looks great and has a useful aspect ratio, running two apps on the internal display feels totally natural, like having two phones side-by-side.That isn’t to say the Google phone is perfect, and it could still learn plenty from Samsung. Apps look better running full screen on the big internal display on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 than they do on the Pixel Fold.
More importantly, unless Samsung changes the overall shape of its device and makes a more usable outer display, it won’t have a phone that is as pleasing to use as both a phone and tablet, open and closed, as a Pixel Fold. Google figured out that it needed to bend the internal display the other way. Let’s see if Samsung will bend the other way itself.Sign up to receive daily breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis, deals and more from the world of tech.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
