A design that evolves very well, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is what we all wanted from the original Pixel Fold.
The original Pixel Fold is a great phone, but it’s not perfect.something justifiable being the brand’s first folding car. Some of your problems? Bezels that were too thick, problems with displaying some apps in full screen, an external screen that was too wide, and a late-arriving Tensor G2 (months after Google Pixel 7). Google has taken note of many of these things and decided to fix them with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
The display’s inner bezels are still a bit larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s, but they’re smaller than the Pixel Fold. That makes you gain more space for the screen and with the internal camera even more perforated, although it is towards one corner. The outer panel also corrects its shape by being more elongated and stay true to what we are used to.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold also gets a makeoveras it abandons the bar-shaped rear camera module for a more classic, rectangular one. Of course, it retains the characteristic lines of its brothers.
Finally, the last design changes concern the hinge and the Gorilla Glass protection. Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a completely revamped hinge, very similar to the one we see in the Galaxy Z and more visually appealing than the Pixel Fold. Meanwhile, Gorilla Glass goes a step further on the front and back screen, being second-generation foldable Get Gorilla Glass Diet 2. Naturally, IPX8 protection is maintained.
