From 1899 euros in Europe. Certainly, I don't really know who feels comfortable using a 2K euros device while walking down the street every single day. I would be so worried about it being lost, getting scratch or what not. Besides, it looks huge.

I can definitely see this being useful for work and school, but not sure if I would use a foldable for everyday tasks.

Casing these phones seems like a challenge

I love my Z Fold 3 form factor a lot more than I thought I would. The one thing I've missed is the pure Google/Android software experience without the Samsung bloat from my old Pixel phone.

This is very tempting, but given it's their first attempt and the steep price, I'll probably wait for the Fold 2 to improve on any growing pains.

I'm not a huge fan of Google, but if Graphene can be installed (and the bootloader unlocked), I would be interested!

Foldable devices like the Lenovo X1 fold are very nice to work with "on the go": take a Bluetooth keyboard and your office is everywhere!

Really looking forward to future generations of foldables when the price is closer to $1000 than $2000. I've had my Flip 3 for almost 2 years now and it's been a blast; I'm genuinely interested in the larger foldable size, but the price is still too steep for me.

That's an ambitious price point. Who are they targeting with this?

The most expensive iPhone is $1699, which is a 14 pro max with a whopping 1 TB of storage. With 128gb it’s only $1099.

I agree, seems pretty aggressive.

Why is Google still making Pixel devices? They have made them since 2016 and spent billions of R&D and ads and it has only reached like 1-2% market share in the US.

Prediction:

This is the prevailing opinion among people that would purchase it. It will have disappointing sales numbers and there will be no Fold 2.
