Google has completely redesigned the design of its Pixel 9 Pro Fold, making it both taller and thinner than its predecessor. The second-generation foldable Pixel adopts a square shape with a 15.5mm height difference compared to the Pixel Fold, surpassing even Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold6 in this area.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold measures 10.5mm folded and just 5.1mm unfolded while reducing its weight to 257 grams, which should make it much more comfortable to use. Another notable design change is the hinge which now unfolds completely flat, something the first-gen Pixel Fold didn't do. It's also IPX8 water resistant.

Thanks to its new proportions, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold packs larger displays with a 6.3-inch Cover Display and an 8-inch square foldable display. Both are OLEDs with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rates and produce a peak brightness of 2,700 nits. Both panels also share the same 10MP selfie cameras.
