I've had the Pixel Fold for about a week now and have daily driven the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, 3, and 4 and flip 3 over the past few years. I have some pretty decent experience with American available foldables since they started really popping off.
I just wanted a place for people to ask questions and I can give some quick impressions about what I like and dislike about the new Pixel Fold compared to the Samsung foldables I had.
Pixel Fold Pros:
Much more usable front screen
Much smoother. Definitely have not run into as many glitches or hiccups or stutters as any of the folds that I used
Software in general is much more cohesive and better designed
Pixel exclusive software features
Better camera in almost every category
Folds flat and thinner
Less noticeable crease
Pixel fold cons:
Charges slower even using same charger
Battery life is good but could be better. Hopefully improved with software updates
Software is less customizable. bottom gesture bar cannot be hidden or have any app be in split screen the way you want it
Screens have the same contrast I think, but the galaxies are noticeably brighter
Pretty picky with the charging support and wireless chargers that can enable quick charging
Bezels on the inside and a little bit of the outside are more noticeable, but that's really not a bother
I'll update this list more when I think about it, but feel free to ask any questions you have below!
Based on the leaks the fold five is the same thing as four with upgraded specs. I was never much of a gamer on the phone so I don't really need to hottest fastest processor as long as the software is pretty good.
The OnePlus phone looks interesting but honestly, the thing that is the killer feature for me is the software and that's what Pixel has done so smooth and cohesive.
So unless something really unexpected happens for either of those phones or probably stay with the pixel but I'll see
