Finally, the comparison of the two most popular foldable form factor phones: Z Fold 6 vs. Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I was waiting for Pixel to launch, and it's finally launched. There are nearly 8-9 aspects on which we'll compare and tell you which phone is better and which is not. But it's surprising. You'll get to know after looking at each aspect. First, let's talk about the in-hand feel and durability. I like the Z Fold 6 more as it fits very nicely in your hand. The sharp corners are a little sharp, but it's not too big. It's a normal candy bar phone, and it fits perfectly in your palm. But I can't say the same about the Z Fold 6 as it's seriously broad. If you use only one hand to use the phone, then the Z Fold 6 is much better. If I talk about the foldable hinge, then it's very refined. The Pixel is good, but it's a little inconsistent.

But I'll say the Z Fold 6 is slightly better. It's been 6 generations. Both phones have Gorilla Glass Victus 2. But the Z Fold 6 has IPX8 protection and not dust protection. Pixel hasn't told you how many folds you can use, but Samsung has said that you can use 2 lakh folds. But due to the broad display, you'll do a lot of things on the phone. Due to the narrow display, you might not want to use the front display. Interestingly, both have the same size. I think the Z Fold 6 is bigger, but both are 6.3 inches. The Z Fold 6 is HD+, but the Z Fold 6 is FHD+. Both are AMOLED displays with 120Hz refresh rate. Let's talk about the internal display. The Pixel has a bigger 8-inch display, whereas the Z Fold 6 has a 7.6-inch display. Both are 2K displays and are bright. The Pixel is 2700 nits and

the Z Fold 6 is 2600 nits. Both are LTPO displays with a 120Hz refresh rate. But for creative people, you can use the S Pen on the Z Fold 6, whereas there's no support for it on the Pixel. The biggest reason to use the Z Fold 6 for productivity & multitasking is that it's a powerful device. And the Z Fold 6 with its 8th Gen 3 SoC beats the G4. You can see it on the paper & when you play games, you can make out the difference. The AnTuTu score is 1.7-1.8M & the Pixel scores 1.2-1.3M. There's also a reason, the Pixel has 12GB RAM & the Z Fold 6 has 16GB RAM. But the storage type is UFS 3.1 & the Pixel has UFS 4.0. The Pixel has a bigger battery with 4400mAh & the Z Fold 6

has 4650mAh. But it has 25W charging & 21W charging. The Pixel supports 15W wireless charging & the Z Fold 6 supports 7.5W wireless charging. There's only 1 variant in the Pixel, which is 16GB RAM & 256GB RAM. I think they should've given a 512GB variant. The base variant is 12GB RAM & 256GB RAM & it goes all the way up to 1TB. The price of the Pixel is expensive at Rs 7-8K. The Z Fold 6 is Rs 1.73L & the Pixel is Rs 1.65L. Battery Life The bigger the display, the more dependent it is on the battery. But due to the bigger battery, the Pixel has a 1-1.25 hour battery life. But if you use both of them in a day, you shouldn't have any problems. Display & Performance I think the Z Fold 6 is ahead of the Pixel in both.

OS. This is Google's own Android OS. But you get Android 14 out of the box. You get the native Android UI, and there's no skin on top of it. You get major updates for 7 years in both. But the differentiation factor is the AI features. Both have AI features. Let's talk about the good features of the Pixel. Re-imagine. You can easily re-imagine if you want to replace something in the photos. The Magic Eraser is industry-leading. The way it does it. The Magic Eraser works with finesse in the Pixel. It works very well. There's one more feature which is very interesting. Admi. We had shown the 9 Pro XL video. If you take a photo in a group, it gets added to the group. And then it becomes one photo. So you can basically merge. The Admi feature is very interesting. The Galaxy AI also gives you many features. I think there should be some features in the Pixel which

are present in the Galaxy AI, like Live Transcribe & Translate feature. You can talk to the person on the phone & they can understand you. These things are very useful which you get in the Galaxy AI. There's Note Assist, Chat Assist. In the Note Assist, you can concise, summarise, bullet point the notes. There's also Chat Assist. And they work very well. Samsung has put a lot of effort in bringing those AI features & they work well. Circle To Search. There are many ads these days. But both have Circle To Search & it works equally well. And there's one more thing. It has Samsung DeX. So you can use it as a PC. If you want to seamlessly connect a bigger screen, you can do it as a PC. If you use a bigger screen. It works very seamlessly & it's been there for a long time. Which you don't get in the Pixel. But it's surprising to hear this & the Pixel fans might not

like it. But I'll tell you what, the optimization for the fold. According to me, Samsung has nailed it with the Z Fold 6. Even now, if you use Instagram on a bigger screen on the Pixel. You know, it just feels a little out of place. There should've been a little more optimization. And I think with time, it'll improve. It'll get better, it'll get optimized. But as I said, it's been 5-6 generations & Samsung knows what to do. So optimization for a larger display is much better on Samsung. If I say in a simple line, that in terms of AI features. Although there are features in both. I think Galaxy AI offers a number of features. And the usefulness, according to me, I'll go towards Galaxy AI. Alright, so we've spoken about OS, AI, performance, display, durability. Now let's talk about another important aspect, the camera. The camera is very important.

And here, the Pixel. I had such high hopes. It's very surprising. And again, I know that the Pixel people will say that it's not like that. But we tested it, we rigorously tested the camera. I found 2 things interesting. 1st, the skin tones are warm skin tones on the Pixel. They come out sharp; there's sharpness & clarity. Even the photos we took where the blue was Hudi, I think it came out purple. Because it was a warm tone. You don't see the same with Z Fold 6. 2nd thing that I didn't find surprising was the edge cutout. There are a lot of portraits where we're taking photos in portrait mode. The edge cutout was a hit & miss. So I'm not sure why, and it'll probably come with the update. But we didn't see the same in Z Fold 6. So in that regard, I'd definitely say that Z Fold 6 is

ahead when it comes to the camera. If I talk about the specs, then there's a 48MP primary sensor. There's a 10.8MP telephoto which gives you 5X zoom. And then there's a 10.5MP ultrawide. In Samsung, you get a 50MP primary sensor, 10MP telephoto & 12MP ultrawide. The 10MP one gives you 3X zoom. The main display is also 10MP. The selfie camera on the cover display is also 10MP on the Pixel. You get a 10MP selfie sensor on this. But under the display, it's only 4MP, you get it under the display. I don't think people use it much. But yes, it's under the display. And because of that, you don't see the round cutouts on the display. You get a full display. I'm giving you the G-Drive link. Both the photos are in original quality, compare them side

by side. And you tell us, according to me, Samsung is ahead when it comes to camera. In videography, both are 4K 60FPS. And if you look at the dynamic range in videos, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is better. And there are samples of that too. Go & check it out. So the most surprising thing for me, if the Z Fold 6 beats the Pixel 9 Pro Fold in camera, that was a big surprising factor for me. And we don't talk about it in comparison. Because it's a Pixel, I'm talking about service centres. Samsung has been in India for so many years. You get service centres in every village. But Pixel is a rare one. So you have to keep that in mind. Yes, we give international warranty, if you travel abroad, it'll be more beneficial. But if I talk about India, obviously the network of service centres is more in Samsung. Yes friends, that's it.

If I talk about the Pixel's advantage, it has a big covered display. If I compare it with the Z Fold 6, you'll see a lot of things on the cover display like you use on a candy bar. Because it's exactly the same, there's no difference. But if I talk about the durability, display, performance, etc. Z Fold 6 can push higher FPS due to the tensors & it struggles a bit. In OS, it's the same. In AI features, there's Galaxy, 4G, etc. In camera, I thought Pixel would be a strong point, but it's actually not. So yeah, that's what it is. Surprisingly, I still think Pixel should come with 2-3 more generations where it matches the Z Fold. So yeah, that's what it is. Do let us know your thoughts & if you have any questions, do ask in the comments below. I found this comparison quite surprising, but it was a

clear winner. That's all for this video. Until the next one, Keep Trakin & Stay Safe!
