Have a case opened with Google about messages coming in batches, delayed and calls not even ringing. Found out this is fairly common. Hopefully pixels don't have the same issue

Are you on T-Mobile? Disabling RCS in Google Messages solves the issue. Or, use a different messaging app

No using Visible. I did disable rcs. But phone not ringing is extremely frustrating

Been using this since July last year, a bit bulky but otherwise no complaints. Wouldn't recommend at MSRP, or even at this price really.

I am not sure why Google planned to make a folding phone, which is a flop technology, Well, then again, Sundar Ptchai is stupid, and for the last two to three years, every decision he made was idiotic.

you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't.
I love my flip phone. the same phone when extended, but actually fit in my pocket, and no need for screen protector either.

It doesn't matter, whether you like it or not, the flip and fold technology failed, Samsung tried it, but they had so many issues that after just 5-6 months, the screen developed wrinkles and had thick lines at the fold. My friends work for Samsung, and he hated it because they had tons of complaints, I bought it for my wife, and so far it's running fine as far as the screen is concerned, but it started showing signs of wrinkles, and sometimes, when opened, the screen didn't expand at all to both sides. Sometimes the colors between the two sides look different, and there are many such issues.
The concept was good, but I guess the hardware isn't ready yet.
Who do think supplies the phone screen to Google? It's Samsung only, When they can't fix their flagship phone screen issue, how would Google fix it?
