Pixel Fold owners, what do you think? (lemmy.world)

I recently saw this update from MKBHD about what he and others think about the phone.

Majority of them felt that, strangely, the best part of the phone was the external screen used about 90% of the time, and the internal screen used 10% of the time, though they still loved the internal screen when apps supported it.

I'm wondering how other Pixel Fold owners feel, now that they've had the phone for some time?

So far I love it. I'm maybe 60/40 or 50/50 external to internal. I don't use a lot of apps though, I mostly stick with doing things through the browser which doesn't have a lot of issues using up the screen. When I do use the internal screen, it tends to be two apps at once, like podcast player and workout tracker, etc, so again no wasted space. My biggest gripe is the home screens and the taskbar. I had to switch to the Android 14 beta to fix the task bar with third party launchers. The pixel launcher forces too much google down your throat and you can't have distinct layouts for the external home and internal. I've settled on total launcher for now but it has its own minor set of issues. 14 seems to have fixed lot but odd stuff, like the pixel launcher, seem to be missing options foldable wise.
