All the keys: what to expect from the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold
The accumulation of leaks and official teasers allows for a comprehensive look at what Google will introduce with this new generation of phones. Below, we break down the key points:
Design: refinement, rupture and distinction
Pixel 9 Pro: The device is updated with a more compact body, following the trend of moving closer to the "premium compact" smartphones that the public is in high demand. Experts point to a flat screen of approximately 6,34 inches With reduced bezels and a minimalist rear. The oval camera module abandons the familiar horizontal bar that ran across the entire rear, limiting itself to the upper center area and offering a sleek and recognizable look.
Google bets on first class materials: Aluminum with matte and polished finishes, and IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. The color combination—Porcelain, Obsidian, and golden hues—provides an even more distinctive look.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold: The foldable phone reinforces its "book" format, with an exterior screen of around 6,3 inches and an interior screen of 8 inches, both LTPO OLED with a dynamic refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz. The bezels have been refined, achieving a more immersive experience and better use of the front, addressing criticisms of the original Pixel Fold. Learn the differences with Pixel 8.
The hinge has been redesigned with multi-alloy steel and an aerospace aluminum cover, promising greater durability and reduced thickness. The fingerprint sensor has been moved to the side, and the assembly maintains the protection IP68.
Display: highest quality and unprecedented brightness
Both terminals integrate latest-generation OLED panels under the name “Super Actua”.
- Pixel 9 Pro: 6,34-inch LTPO OLED flat panel, FullHD+ resolution and maximum brightness up to 2.700 nits outdoors.
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold: 6,3-inch Super Actua OLED LTPO external display and 8-inch Super Actua Flex OLED LTPO internal display, with refresh rates of 1 to 120 Hz, maximum brightness of up to 2.700 nits and protection with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and Ultra Thin Glass on the main panel.
Cameras: a triple bet on photography and AI
Photography is one of the pillars of the Pixel range, and this new generation raises the bar with new optics and processing even more dependent on artificial intelligence:
- Pixel 9Pro: : Triple rear sensor with 50 MP wide-angle, 10,5 MP ultra-wide-angle with macro focus, and 10,8 MP telephoto lens (5X optical zoom and up to 20X digital zoom). An LED flash and an additional sensor are added (to be determined whether it will be LIDAR or a temperature sensor). The front camera reaches 10 MP with Dual PD for high-quality portraits and video calls.
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold: Almost identical configuration, maintaining the image quality and processing of the non-folding version. The absence of a visible front-facing camera on the internal panel suggests under-display technology or relocation within the frame.
Gemini is very present in the photographic functionalities, allowing:
- Advanced real-time image processing
- AI-powered Night and Portrait modes
