HOT FIVE #1
COMEPLY WITH ME
Google Pixel Fold
Have you ever looked at your Google Pixel phone and wished there was just, well, more of it? Then you’re in luck. It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that the Fold shares some of its DNA with the 7 Pro – notably the Tensor G2 chip and 12GB of RAM – but if you open it up you get 7.6in of FHD+ OLED to play with – nearly an inch more than on the front of the Pro.
The 5.8in outer screen is also an OLED, while both refresh at up to 120Hz, so whichever one you’re scrolling on it’ll be as slick as a fish down a flume. The bump on the back will look familiar too. It hosts a 48MP main snapper with OIS, a 10.8MP ultrawide with 121° field of view and a 10.8MP telephoto good for 5x optical zoom. There’s also a 9.5MP selfie shooter on the front of the phone, along with an 8MP camera built into the inner screen’s bezel for video calling.
