Hey Google and Samsung, why can’t I rent a Fold to test it out?

Foldables are fascinating to me. Having a small tablet-sized display that I can run two full apps on simultaneously then bend and stash in my pocket sounds like the productivity future I want to live in. But foldables are very expensive too, prohibitively so. No matter how I spin it, I can’t justify dipping into my piggy bank for $1,800 (even a bit worse in Europe as they cost €1,900) to buy a Google Pixel Fold or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 just for the luxury of finding out if they fulfill their promise for me.

Better yet, as a Pixel user for six years who’s aware of Google’s first-gen product troubles, I’m not sure which foldable to go for. I’ve read our Pixel Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold 5 comparison and I still don’t know. Should I privilege the camera performance as I do on my regular phone or will I find that moot once I focus on the productivity-driven aspect? And does Samsung offer enough foldable features to convince me to dump the Pixel experience I love?
