TL;DR
- Google unveiled a tantalizing preview video, effectively verifying that its forthcoming secondary foldable device is likely to be dubbed the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
- The teaser video showcases a redesigned phone with significantly slimmer bezels, marking a departure from the distinct Pixel Fold’s aesthetic.
- The Google Pixel 9 series, including the revolutionary Pixel 9 Professional Fold, is set to debut on August 13th.
It seems someone at Google is feeling generous right now. Google’s official YouTube channel has just revealed a surprise, following up on the earlier tease of the Pixel 9 Pro. Google’s rumored entry into the foldable smartphone market has finally been confirmed, without being dubbed the “Pixel Fold 2”.
Google is reportedly eyeing its 2024 flagship product, the Pixel 9 Professional Fold, which was first hinted at earlier this year. The Pixel Fold’s innovative design hinges on being compatible with the internal architecture and exterior design language introduced in the Pixel 9 series, assuming such a direct connection is a given.
Although the teaser video is concise and tantalizing, we’ve managed to discern several crucial details. Compared to its predecessor, the first-generation Pixel Fold, everything – including the hinge and screen aspect ratios – seems to have been thoroughly reimagined. Initially, the phone bears a striking resemblance to the OnePlus 8.
The video provides a sneak peek at the device’s internal display, featuring significantly thinner bezels and, intriguingly, no apparent punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The Telephone Within Porcelain Colorway Will Be Revealed Right Here. New reports suggest that the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro Fold will only be available in two colour options: Obsidian Black, as previously leaked, with no additional hues revealed so far.
The standout feature of the Pixel 9 Professional Fold is its unique camera module design, differing significantly from other Pixel 9 models, which sport a horizontal rectangular strip for photography. Notwithstanding, recent reports suggest that the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro Fold may boast upgraded camera capabilities compared to its predecessor, the original Pixel Fold. The compromise of this slimmed-down redesign may necessitate this resolution.
We won’t need to spend a lot of time searching for more information fortunately. The highly anticipated Google Pixel 9 series launch event is mere weeks away, set to kick off on August 13 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.
