Comparison between Pixel Fold and 9 Pro Fold
Compared to the Pixel Fold, the 9 Pro Fold is 1.5 millimeters thinner when closed and 0.7 millimeters thinner when open. Google designers, having observed how people used the original, adopted a “phone first” approach in designing the 9 Pro Fold.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold camera bar design stands out in the series as it does not span the entire width, unlike the rest of the phones. The design of the Pixel Fold is more in line with this year’s phone designs.
Google Pixel 6 Pro features a “double-stacked” camera bar that enables a bigger battery and a thinner design, allowing the phone to lie flat on surfaces.
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Features Upgraded Cooling System and Durable Hinge
Google has introduced the Pixel 9 Pro Fold with an enhanced cooling system featuring an all-new vapor chamber and graphite thermal spreader. The device is thinner thanks to the multi-alloy steel and high-strength aluminum alloy-covered hinge. Google emphasizes the improved durability and the satisfying “snap” closing sound of the device.
