Google Pixel Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: What's the Difference?

pcmag.com:

In North America, Samsung has more or less owned the market for large-screen foldable smartphones for several years now. It's released four iterations of its Galaxy Z Fold flagship, most recently the Galaxy Z Fold 4, and Samsung is surely prepping the Z Fold 5 for later this summer. But it's not your only folding option: Google has finally introduced its own folding phone, the Pixel Fold. Can it rival Samsung's seasoned superphone?

Size and shape are what set the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Pixel Fold apart the most. Samsung opted for a long and thin design when the phone is closed, while Google's foldable is shorter and wider. The difference is plainly visible when the two devices are held side by side.

The outer screens of the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 4 rely on 17.4:9 and 23.1:9 aspect ratios, respectively. The diagonal measurements are similar, at 5.8 inches on Google's phone and 6.2 inches on Samsung's, but the difference in shape makes a difference. Having used both devices, I prefer the shape of the Pixel Fold over the Z Fold 4, mainly because it feels more traditional. In other words, the outer screen will be more useful.

Google used a 6:5 aspect ratio for the internal display, while Samsung's device has a 21.6:18 ratio for the internal screen. It's hard to pick a winner for the shape of the internal screens, as they both work well for multitasking.

There's no right or wrong here. They're simply different, and there's likely to be more
