We asked, you told us: You're on the wall about buying a Pixel Fold

Google finally launched the Pixel Fold this month, and it looks like a pretty polished foldable phone. Between the free-stop hinge, IPX8 rating, respectable internals, and flexible camera system, there’s a lot to like here.

But are you actually planning to buy Google’s first foldable? That’s what we wanted to know, posting a poll inside a news article last week.

Do you plan to buy the Pixel Fold?

Results

Almost 1,100 votes were cast in this poll, and we got a variety of answers here. The most popular choice was “No, I don’t plan to buy it,” accounting for ~38% of the vote.

We can understand why some of you might not be on board with the Pixel Fold. The $1,800 price tag matches the Galaxy Z Fold 4, but you’re getting a less capable Tensor chipset, and three Android version updates versus four OS updates for Samsung’s foldables. Google’s foldable also doesn’t offer stylus support compared to the Z Fold 3 and 4.

The second most popular option in this poll was “Yes, I’ve already pre-ordered mine,” with ~24% of the vote. We can see why some respondents chose this option, as the Pixel Fold still brings a cleaner, lighter Android experience, better camera zoom on paper, and a host of Pixel software features. Toss in that IPX8 rating and free-stop hinge, and you’ve got one of the more versatile non-Samsung foldables out there.

Rounding out the top three was “Maybe, I’m thinking about it,” which accrued ~23% of the vote. Otherwise, 9.65% of respondents chose “Yes, but I haven’t pre-ordered yet,” while 5.29% of polled readers said they aren’t buying the foldable because it isn’t available in their market.

In any event, the final results show that just over 55% of respondents are at least thinking about buying a Pixel Fold. But the results of our previous polls suggest that pricing is a stumbling block for many consumers.
