Explore your Pixel Fold's tent and tabletop modes

Make life easier by going hands-free with your Pixel Fold's tent and tabletop modes. Pitch your foldable like a tent so that it stands up on its own, or prop it up in an L shape with tabletop mode. From cooking to working out to snapping pics, here's how you can make the most of both features.

Whether you're an ambitious cook or a culinary newbie, give yourself one less thing to juggle in the kitchen. Open your device to your recipe with tent or tabletop mode, so that you can easily see your ingredient list without the need for a separate stand.

Hunching over your phone to text can cause neck strain. But thanks to tent and tabletop modes, you can easily prop up your foldable to keep your vision more level. Checking out a video with a group? Unfold or prop up your foldable to watch, without having to take turns holding the device.

Play your go-to workout videos from your foldable, minus the balancing act. Instead of trying to precariously prop up your device while getting your sweat on, take the frustration out of your exercise routine by using tent or tabletop mode to play your go-to fitness vids.

Do you think of yourself as a wannabe influencer or just take videos for fun? Make shooting content easier by filming in tent or tabletop mode – it's like a built-in tripod for your Pixel. See who has their eyes closed when taking a group pic, check to make sure that everyone fits in the frame and take crisper shots thanks to the image-stabilisation feature. Want to go (almost) hands-free? Go to your camera settings to pre-set a self-timer, then open up the front camera, hold your palm up to it and automatically trigger a countdown to the perfect pic.

At night, bring your Astrophotography dreams to life with tent mode, aiming the camera at the sky and using the front display for controls. You can also use tabletop mode (half-opened) to snap a pic or timelapse of the stars, with no tripod needed.
