Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: A New Direction for Google's Foldable

The Google Pixel 9 series launches on August 13, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to debut alongside the more traditional models. The upcoming Pixel 9 Pro Fold ditches the original's unusual form factor for a radically different aspect ratio that's almost square. The reported resolution of 2,152 x 2,076 suggests that the 9 Pro Fold's internal display is still slightly wider than it is tall. The inner display measures eight inches across, compared to the 7.6 inches of the original Pixel Fold. Google also upgraded the display specs to be more befitting of a 2024 flagship. The inner display is now notably brighter, with 1,600 nits of full-screen HDR brightness, compared to 1,000 nits on the original Fold. The outer display also sees an upgrade: it's now a 6.24-inch panel with an HDR brightness of 1,800 nits.
