Still, Im unsure if it has enough in the software or hardware departments to stand out just yet.
At first glance, the $1,800 Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a far slimmer gear than last years.
It ditched the rounded corners and boosted the size from a 5.8-inch exterior screen to a 6.3-inch Actua display.

Its the same size as the Pixel 9 Pro but slightly thicker.
The Fold has gone from a 7.6-inch unfolded display to a full 8-inches display.
Its lighter, much lighter than before.

The hinge action is far smoother than last years machine.
It wants to spring open once it reaches a certain threshold, much like the excellentOnePlus Open.
Google has completely redesigned the hinge, which has reduced those mammoth Pixel Fold bezels by a considerable degree.

It feels like the phone Google should have released the first time.
Theres still a noticeable crease, but it feels less noticeable than last time.
Despite the size bump, Googles not winning in dust resistance.

On the software side, were still a few iterations behind.
Samsungs foldables let you create floating windows you’re able to shove around the bigger interiorscreen.
Googles Fold sequel still limits users to split screen.

Its not a huge deal, especially since I dislike manipulating tiny windows with thick fingers.
Theres one sizable improvement.
Now, you’re free to pin the taskbar to the bottom of the exterior screen.

It seems like it will be an alternative to the Mountain View companys regular cellular slate.
However, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold differs greatly from the Pixel 9 Pro in many ways.
Youll notice a square camera bump on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold instead of the usual pill-shaped camera bar.

The 9 Pro Fold will be a worse shooter than its cheaper cousin without all that foldable capabilities.
Google said it limited the Folds cameras to save on weight and size.
