Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Brilliant screen for games and video ; Versatile and fun camera ; Long software update commitment ; Superb build and design ; Thin and well-balanced ; Free year of Gemini Advanced

Slow charging ; Heavy ; Expensive

“The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is an entertainment powerhouse. It's a truly excellent foldable and one I think you'll love.”

One of the brightest displays on a foldable.

Thick bezels, polarizing back design.

In conclusion, while the Pixel 9 Pro Fold faces stiff competition at its premium price point, it offers a strong overall package. It may not introduce groundbreaking innovations, but for those looking for a reliable foldable with long-term software...

The updated design really works ; Great software ; Strong main camera ; Very bright screens

Camera system inferior to Pixel 9 Pro ; Display crease is very visible ; Slow charging

As unique as its predecessor was, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a welcome reboot that is so much nicer to use for extended periods. Both screens are (mostly) great, the build is thinner and lighter and everything just feels more high-end.

Largest and brightest internal display betters its competition ; Decent levels of power without overheating, strong battery life ; Design akin to a normal flagship when folded makes for easy use

Doesn't get the Pixel 9 Pro XL's improved cameras ; Software doesn't leverage multi-tasking, AI has a way to go ; Rounded screen corners and camera island may split opinion

Don't think of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold as simply an upgrade over the original Google foldable – this is a completely rethought and redesigned phone that's a giant leap forward, making it the best foldable that (lots of) money can buy. Sure, a foldable...

This foldable comes with its tradeoffs: the downgraded camera hardware; durability concerns; and oh yeah, the eighteen hundred US dollars it costs. But I think Google made the right tradeoffs here to optimize the inner screen experience. It’s an...

High-quality hardware ; Excellent displays ; Solid wireless performance ; Good cameras ; Lots of AI

Lacks advanced productivity features ; Battery life is only average ; Expensive

Google's heavily revised Pixel 9 Pro Fold is an attractive, book-style folding phone that banks on the power of Gemini AI to appeal to early adopters, but it falls just short of Samsung when it comes to productivity perks.

Front screen feels like a normal phone. 8-inch inner screen looks spectacular and is great for split-screen apps. Thinner and lighter (but still a bit heavy). Good performance, smart software, and reliable battery life.

Missing features from the Pixel 9 Pro. Might not work on your wireless charger. Annoying sounds. Stupid expensive.

Thinnest foldable you can buy (depending on where you live) ; Biggest screen ever crammed into a phone ; Amazing design fulfills the foldable promise

AI features make horrible images with no indication it’s AI ; Seriously, I made a Pooh bear doing drugs off of Eeyore ; Has nobody considered that this AI stuff is really bad?!

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is my favorite new foldable phone, and it’s all about the way it looks and feels. It looks like a normal phone, it feels thin and not bulky, and it’s incredibly fun, whether I keep it open or closed. The AI features are powerful –...

Wider cover display ; Refined, durable build ; Interior screen looks great

Heavy, bulky design ; Camera lags behind Pixel 9 Pro ; Occasional software performance issues

Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold aims to solve the original Pixel Fold's key issues thanks to its thinner and lighter design, Tensor G4 chip and more fluid hinge.

Full Pixel 9 experience on the outside ; Expanded Pixel 9 experience inside ; Cameras aren't exactly like other 9 Pros, but they're still great ; Industrial Design is on-point ; Feels robust enough to use without fear of accidental damage ; 120Hz...

Considerable cost ; Some features lesser than those of other Pixel 9 Pro devices ; Gets a little warm when playing games in unfolded mode ; 120Hz refresh, bright screen drain battery quick
