GOOGLE PIXEL 9 PRO FOLD

Meet the new blueprint for book-style foldable phones

- 

Can book-style foldables get any more functional than this? Let's be real — most foldables still feel like prototypes wrapped in a price tag. The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, though? It's finally stopped beta-testing on the public.

It doesn't try too hard — the 6.3-inch cover screen has the same proportions as a “normal” phone, so you're not stuck with a remote-control slab like the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It's wide enough for everyday tasks and spec'd like a flagship: 120Hz refresh, 1800 nits brightness, and a clean 20:9 aspect ratio. Add flush curves, a no-gap hinge with great damping, and an IPX8 rating, and you've got a seriously polished product. Even the way it sits flat thanks to its flush camera housing shows Google's attention to detail. This isn't Google's first foldable, but it's the first one that feels finished.
