The Verge's review of the Pixel Fold as an image editor
This is good to see, but as Welch notes, the lack of stylus support is a real miss here.
As a Samsung user myself, I'd obviously just look to the Galaxy Fold, although not being able to store the stylus onboard (without a case) does suck.
All that said, I'm very happy with my S23 Ultra for editing photos. Yeah I've gotta zoom in a lot, but it's not that big a pain. I actually start most of my Sony A7RV edits in Lightroom on my phone, only moving to desktop when I need to switch to Photoshop for final edits.
Any mobile photo editors in our growing community here?

So I curate/edit my camera shots on my Fold3 in LightroomCC, using a cheap USBC-SD reader to get them off of a non-USBC camera.
It will never replace big-screen desktop ”finishing” for me (even though I have moved to CC so the core experience is the same) but is perfect for curation/down-selection/checking while on the move during longer trips. Being able to break up what would used to be long dedicated process of curation & editing once I get home into quick "I'll have a quick glance while I grab a coffee/wait for my partner" sessions completely revolutionised how I enjoy my hobby, taking away what ended up feeling like a chore during the already sad post-trip come-down stage.
For context I'm a pretty trigger happy amateur and tend to over-shoot, so for every moment I will often have 3-5 different takes - my shutter count for longer trips can get pretty ridiculous.
I rarely end up using the stylus, mainly because there's nowhere to store it in the phone so I never have it on me when I need it. It is worth saying though that I also daily drive a Surface Laptop Studio so will defer to using that for its stylus if spot touch-ups are required.
Love this, you've described my exact process. I keep a compact SD reader in my EDC, and I'll often get my RAWs onto my phone before I get home, get some selects and crops and light edits done, and then take over on my MacBook — the photos having synced in Adobe cloud before I even get home.
