Google has unveiled a sneak peek of its forthcoming smartphone, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, through an intriguing teaser video in a new post on X (formerly Twitter).
The tech giant announced this new addition to its lineup as a “foldable phone built for the Gemini era” on social media, highlighting its advanced AI capabilities and innovative design.
The upcoming new model shares some similarities with the non-foldable Pixel 9 Pro, particularly in the prominent camera bump, which houses vertically aligned lenses positioned near one edge of the phone.
Despite the official announcement still pending, significant details about the Pixel 9 series have already surfaced, thanks to a massive leak from yesterday. The leak was further substantiated by Taiwan’s National Communications Commission (NCC), which uploaded a series of photos of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold to its archives.
One of the standout features of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is its repositioned selfie camera. Unlike its predecessors, the selfie camera is now embedded within the inner screen, offering a broader field of view. This design shift is expected to enhance the user experience by providing more screen real estate and a cleaner look.
Additionally, the display of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold boasts a reduced fold crease, measuring approximately 10 inches diagonally. This improvement addresses one of the common concerns with foldable devices, aiming for a smoother and more seamless display.
