Google, which released its first foldable phone last year, continues its journey with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold model. The foldable phone will meet users as of next month.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold welcomes users with many changes in terms of hardware. Chief among these improvements are major updates to the screens.
The external display has now been renewed in terms of both size and aspect ratio (20:9). Here, users are presented with a 6.3-inch screen. The foldable display has also been replaced with a longer screen compared to the previous generation. The new 8-inch “Super Acuta Flex” display offers a very high maximum brightness level of 2,700 nits.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold also features a new hinge mechanism, allowing the foldable display to open more flat. Weighing 257 grams on the scale, the aluminum-bodied phone is over 25 grams lighter than its predecessor.
It’s also worth noting that at just 10.5mm thick, the 9 Pro Fold is 13 percent thinner when folded than the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold shares the same technical specifications as the other Pixel 9 Pro models. The Tensor G4 processor is accompanied by 16 GB of RAM. Storage options are 256 and 512 GB. Google claims that the 4650 mAh battery will provide a usage time of over 24 hours.
Other Pixel 9 series specs and features supported on the Fold include Satellite SOS support, Titan M2 security chip along with free Google VPN, and Android 14 with 7 years of Android, security, and Feature Drop updates. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold also introduces Google’s new Gemini features and Pixel Screenshots, a feature that uses artificial intelligence to help you find information from screenshots you’ve previously taken.
The main camera on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a 48-megapixel sensor. A 10.5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and 10.8-megapixel telephoto camera complete the system. There are 10-megapixel cameras above the screens.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold comes in two color options
Google’s latest foldable phone is available in two color options: Obsidian and Porcelain. The foldable phone will be priced starting at $1,799 and will be available on shelves on September 4.
