I did this with the S21+ to the Pixel 7, and currently on a S23+ if that tells you anything. I'm not even a huge fan of what Samsung does, but the hardware works.
The Pixel 7 had such a great software experience when it worked, but the dropped calls and losing signal in areas where I previously had signal, was enough to get me to quit. Sadly, the rumors have the Pixel 8 using the same modem so I doubt it will be a better experience.
It had one really good use case for me: 4wd maps. I use an app called Hema Explorer for my offroading, and it's not supported in Android Auto. Having a larger screen for these maps made life a lot easier, rather than trying to securely mount a tablet somewhere.
I see! I can't imagine myself ever using it for that purpose, anyway, not that I was especially interested in a foldable in the first place, but I'm glad you found something that works for you!
Well, I thought I had, until I had repeat issues requiring I send it back under warranty three times, then I experienced the shitshow that is Samsung support. Hence why I'm happy with my P7P now.
Nah, don't do it. Pixels are overrated and unreliable to say the least. I sold my Pixel 7 within 4 months because I couldn't stand the hardware and software issues- and before I sold it, I found myself using my 3 year-old S10e way more
Well, if you want something different then go with the pixel or a oppo find x series or even Xiaomi if you can get them in your area. But if you want a similar hardware experience but modernized, I would look at Asus or Sony. To me Samsung has gotten stagnant with their s series lineup from cost cutting to removal of features like expandable storage and headphone jack. For these reasons it has made me apathetic to their brand in general now as well. At least with Asus and Sony they are retaining features and adding more, instead of removing them.
