We have less than two weeks before the next Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold launch alongside the Pixel 9 smartphones, but even that has not stopped tipsters from spitting out a plethora of leaks on the Internet and also the company is gradually releasing teasers of the upcoming next-generation devices.
The first Pixel Fold was a great foldable with a usage of wide front display, rather decent cameras and perfect multitasking. Yet it is not perfect, there are some issues, like thick side bezels and some applications do not adapt to the full screen;
However, Google has managed to make a rather good first try with a foldable and it can go to the list of the best foldable phones. The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold seems to be attempting to do even more of that with some modification in the display screen panels on the phone and a new Tensor processor to help with AI functions.
What we know about Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold features will include: The display section of the phone will be a 6. 3 inches cover screen, to an 8 inches Super Actua Flex screen. To compare the two, the original Pixel Fold had a 5. 4-inch Super AMOLED display with an FHD resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as a 7. The base model features a 6.67-inch OLED inner display that supports up to 120Hz refresh rate.
The foldable could be driven by the in-house Tensor G4 chipset. This will be an improvement on the Tensor G2 in the predecessor. It could support the maximum of 16 GB RAM when combined with the chipset.
Or the Pixel 9 Pro Fold could come with a 48MP primary lens together with a 10. At the back, are a 5MP ultrawide snapper and a 10. 8MP telephoto sensor. This is in comparison to the 48MP primary camera, a 10. 8MP ultra wide lens and a powerful, highly-sensitive 10. 8MP telephoto camera.

Again, unlike the Pixel Fold, the device here is a ‘normal’ foldable phone, although the folding mechanism has pushed the cover screen taller.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold will come with Tensor G4 chipset and AI integrated to it.
