If you invest $1,800 on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you most likely anticipate it to have whatever and more over the single-screen $999 Pixel 9 Pro? I indicate, you’re investing almost two times as much. That’s not totally the case. Google’s second-generation folding smart device sits someplace in between the Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro in specifications. You get a comparable experience as a Pro Pixel, however look carefully and you’ll question why this isn’t the outright finest Pixel of them all.
A few of it does not matter. You’re paying this much for the advantage of a small tablet the size of a common smart device, and there are some genuine enhancements to this experience in this version. The hardware feels a lot more sleek and resilient than the initial, and the 8-inch display screen is incredible when unfolded (amongst the biggest you’ll discover in a booklike folding gadget).
I will not regale you with the brand-new Pixel 9 software application functions, expert system functions, and even the brand-new video camera techniques in this evaluation– I invested a bargain of time on them in my Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro evaluate a couple of weeks ago and a number of those elements correspond the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Rather, I’ll be concentrating on the Fold-specific functions of this gadget. TL; DR? It’s a strong folding phone, however naturally, there are peculiarities. It’s likewise a massive $1,800
Huge Flex
The greatest modification over the initial Pixel Fold is the whole phone’s measurements. No longer is it brief and broad; the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has the very same 6.3-inch outside screen size as the Pixel 9 Pro. This indicates it quite feels and look like a “typical” phone when you utilize the outside screen. And think me, you’ll utilize that outside show a lot

This more standard taller size provides important lead to that you can fit more on this screen over the predecessor. Integrated with the truth that this is among the thinnest booklike folding phones on the marketplace (simply 2.54 mm thicker than the Pixel 9 Pro) makes it even more simpler to utilize when the phone is folded. Incredibly, Google has actually slashed off about 25 grams from the initial, and while the 9 Pro Fold is still 60 grams much heavier than the Pixel 9 Pro, the additional weight is workable.
Seriously, I invested about 80 percent of my time utilizing the phone’s outside screen due to the fact that everything felt typicalThis is an advantage since it’s not like you’re going to be unfolding the phone to utilize the huge interior screen for each single scenario. Fair caution, my hands are big so your experience may differ.
