Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Jakkman4U says : I got it for 390 dollars>> <<@tweezy5804 says : Thinking about buying one of these for 275$ in 2026. Would it be a good buy? Like secondary phone? Do enough apps even support it, wondering about how some games do on it.>> <<@DavitTheCore says : Google made a foldable for the OGs and then proceeded to make foldables for everyone else with the pro folds.>> <<@DaReal_KV says : Just bought a 512gb for 200$ I’m loving it.>> <<@geniusfde says : In 2026, refurbished, almost new, for $350 only. 256 storage.>> <<@GrizzlyBaird76 says : I'm about to buy one in 2026 for $350. Updates until 2028, why not.>> <<@thereelwheelrundown says : We'll fix it in post>> <<@sucukmitei64 says : 2026 its more worth it then ever, since refurbished prices start at around 300$ And it still runs very well>> <<@Ro6sYech says : I think personally considering the price it's worth a buy only a few hundred bucks but that bezels I think help keep the hinge more durable>> <<@Ro6sYech says : You can buy this now for $460 with 512gb storage I was thinking about it>> <<@tavarisstewart6324 says : Which one is better between the pixel 9 pro or this one>> <<@hank9th says : Just took a peek at eBay here in early 2026 and you can get these refurbished, excellent condition, for less than $350. Now that's a price I can stomach.>> <<@tavarisstewart6324 says : Does it still pick up music playing around you>> <<@resort_is_superior_in_everyway says : "Maye Next Year" More like 2 years is when it really caught on, but yes.>> <<@stanskeeter says : i ordered one lmao>> <<@miramarensis says : Basically all of those shortcomings have been fixed with Android 16. I got mine (512 GB) for $450 in premium condition and it's the best phone ever.>> <<@markb3326 says : You love to show off the Tesla.>> <<@ThomasKoss3 says : For those thinking of getting one in late 2025 ____ Picked up a lightly used one locally for $300 USD 2 weeks ago. It's been a very interesting phone. For reference in the past 2 years I've been using a iPhone 15PM and Samsung Galaxy 24. I really like Samsung OneUI and that's just a personal preference. But i have to say, im pleasantly surprised at how funky this 1st gen Pixel fold is. The quality of the physical hardware is A+ top shelf premium. I was never a buyer at 1800 or even $1k. Unless there is a rebate or some mark down i don't see the need to spend more than $900 on a phone. But at $300 i was tempted to see what it would be like to have my first foldable and a Pixel. Complaints: 3-1/2 hours of screen on time puts me at 30% remaining. The camera / picture quality has more noise than I'm used to. The bottom speaker does all the work and the volume rocker gets bumped a lot. Third party appts still doesn't really take advantage of the main display. Some apps on the front display don't always respond appropriately to user inputs. Worry in the back of mind of dropping it or the inside screen stops working. Positives: The Tensor G2 actually has held up very well. The UI is very snappy and responsive. The finger print sensor is very reliable and well placed. The bezel on the inside screen is really helpful for allowing you to hold the phone or pass it to someone to share content. The build quality is outstanding. It really feels like a halo product. If anything a slightly thicker rear panel for a larger battery and flatter buttons would have been nice. Its a heavy phone, but because the quality is so good and the folding panels sit flush, the grip is solid. In the end i think there is still a lot i need to explore with the device. At under $500USD i think its great value for something truly different and interesting. But.... and it a big BUT, its hard to say if there truly is any more advantage to a foldable than having a large phone like a Samsung Ultra. I'm leaning so far to saying a Ultra would be a better allrounder but it does take up a lot of pocket space.>> <<@philforde5871 says : IMO, it had the best aspect ratio for most potential users, especially for watching videos.>> <<@Darwin-ii1jf says : It's so sad that they didn't continue this design...>> <<@HELLOHOGO says : i always forget why i unsubscribed, then i remember>> <<@edm_enthusiast says : Lol just bought one for $200 to play around with it. I used a Galaxy Fold in the past but wasn't really a fan of it, but I like Pixels.>> <<@510marlon says : Omfg this guy keeps comparing it to the iphone 16 pro max. Why??? Apple does not even make a foldable. Crazy>> <<@timg2727 says : This is a great phone to buy for like $400-$500 in 2025. I can't imagine paying almost 2 grand for it, even when it came out.>> <<@bigdogboos1 says : can't believe they F'd it up with the fold 2, and up coming shortly their fold 3. Why get rid of that form factor ?!!!!!>> <<@hussamezzat says : Google pixel9 fold internal screen bazel 🤮🤮>> <<@RC-ex9tp says : Maybe if you use an app like Nova might give you the capability of diversifying your home screens. 😮>> <<@rodNantz says : what I have been excited about is this small form factor while closed... small phones are rare, and being able to have an inner big screen as well is great. I hope Pixel executes it better but keep the form factor.>> <<@Coolcat_ASMR says : magic V2 has this beat, can't evwn compare>> <<@rez157 says : just got a unopened unlocked new one for $550...>> <<@STMWHT says : Hmmm>> <<@a_k__ says : It is a year now! Accelerated aging for google>> <<@LiveFromFetus says : Give us a 2025 update now that its less than $500>> <<@UltraKryptonian says : When you holding it in your hand, it looked to be uncomfortably heavy.>> <<@Cool78250 says : You were actually not wrong with the title>> <<@cellscom says : What's your take on school zones?>> <<@UNknitMC17 says : Damn I just bought this phone for $250>> <<@jugz1982 says : Terrible review. Stop buying bullshit and telling us about it.>> <<@Michman2024 says : My P9F had miserable BT. All 3 of my must have devices were unable to work dependably. Hearing aids, Bose headphones, Android Auto...... drops, fail to connect, 6' range. I sent it back. My S24 is rock solid, I hope the Z Fold 7 is too.>> <<@Lordstrathconaonhorseback says : Iv asked this question 50 times across the internet. When you watch YouTube on the pixel fold.....is the YouTube viewing area bigger or the same size as a pixel 9 pro xl wide ways or landscaped? And Netflix? Can you stretch to zOom?>> <<@learnedIncompetence says : You logo is the say as the autotrader app>> <<@ThoughtlessDestiny says : Bought one now Jan 2025 for $412 bucks off ebay lol and couldnt be happier with it.>> <<@kingslyroland4598 says : Good important video. Educational.>> <<@AMm-qb9sl says : How much money of Jordan but I need>> <<@meltmywings says : "Maybe next year" aged SO well>> <<@edzordzinamishmael9927 says : Your accent ❤❤❤>> <<@Jaylogged says : Song in the intro?>> <<@PhilAlford says : Fast forward to next year... Lol>> <<@MateoVeloz2023 says : I downgrade to pixel 8 for longer batter life. That thing last 4 hour but it actually like 3 hour and half>> <<@handymanatwork says : I moved from iPhone to pixel 7. Disappointed.>>
