Google has released its latest foldable phone, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, surpassing previous efforts and beating Samsung at its own game with a sleek design that opens up to reveal a large 8-inch tablet screen. Priced at £1,749, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers a familiar phone shape and size when closed, making it easy to use for everyday tasks. The tablet screen is ideal for multitasking with two apps side by side, although widescreen videos may have black bars due to its square shape. The display is crisp and bright, offering a high-quality viewing experience.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold features the same Tensor G4 chip and 16GB of RAM as other Pixel 9 Pro models, providing snappy performance and the ability to run two apps simultaneously. The battery life is solid, lasting about 40 hours with regular use. The cameras are class-leading, offering high-quality photos and a 5x zoom, although not quite as good as Google’s non-folding 9 Pro phones.
The phone is made with at least 18% recycled materials and is repairable by Google and third-party shops. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold comes with Android 14 and seven years of software support, including new AI features like Gemini Live and Google Photos’ Magic Editor. However, the device is expensive and more fragile than a standard phone, lacking dust resistance and requiring extra care. Despite its drawbacks, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a top choice for those looking for a versatile phone-tablet hybrid with excellent performance and camera capabilities.
