Although the Pixel Fold is a Google phone, it is important to note that it is the first generation of its kind. This means that there may be some hardware issues. Unfortunately, there have already been reports of poor quality, with most of the problems related to the inner foldable screen. One buyer complained on Reddit that their inner foldable screen broke after just one day of use. Another customer voiced their frustration on Reddit about a pink line appearing on the screen after only a few hours of use. There was also a Reddit post mentioning the peeling of the protective cover of the inner foldable screen after approximately five hours of use.

Ron Amadeo from ArsTechnica experienced a malfunction with his review unit’s screen within a few days, and Raymond Wong from Inverse mentioned on Twitter that the hinge parts produced a crackling sound. In addition, there have been numerous complaints on Reddit about erratic or delayed shipments of Pixel Fold orders. Although Google has not yet made an official statement about the faulty Pixel Fold units, it may be wise to wait a few weeks and assess the experiences of a broader audience before spending $1,800 on the phone.
