Everyone was wrong about the original Pixel Fold


The aspect ratio was perfect, and I'm afraid it'll never be replicated again.

Oft-rumored and substantially delayed past its original release, the Pixel Fold opted for a squat, wide design that unfolded into a landscape almost 16:9 aspect ratio, much more closely mimicking a tablet than other book-style foldables. (Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central)One of the key takeaways from my original Pixel Fold review was that the wide aspect ratio wasn't just great for apps on the outer screen but better on the inner display, as well. While a notable number of apps have worked to fix these issues over the past year since the original Pixel Fold launched, there are still plenty that don't behave as expected on large foldable phones.
