- ¹ Gemini mobile app available on select devices, languages, and countries. Internet connection required. Check responses for accuracy.
- ² Brightness compared to Pixel Fold.
- ³ Screen has rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, external screen is 6.3 inches and internal screen is 8 inches. Actual viewable area is less. Dimension may vary by configuration and manufacturing process.
- ⁴ Among foldable phones in the United States. Based on inner display.
- ⁵ Requires compatible apps.
- ⁶ For “over 24 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. For “Up to 72 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity).
- ⁶ For both claims: Battery testing based on mix of inner and outer screen use and conducted on a major US carrier network in California in early 2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the “up to 72 hours” claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.

Q: Does this phone have a fingerprint reader?
A: Yes, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a fingerprint reader for security.
Q: If I preordered this will I receive it on the date it states.
A: I need to start this off that as with all pre-orders, some places are good and others are not. Regardless of the place, any pre-order can be delayed, even when directly ordering from the manufacturer (google in this case). That said, I pre-ordered mine the second it appeared on BB's site (the picture wasn't even pushed out yet) on Aug 13th. I did pickup so I didn't have to deal with staying at home to sign for delivery. It seems like BB either didn't get the shipment or they're having some internal issues. Nothing has been publicly stated, just know from reddit posts no one has gottten theirs yet and BB's site says "coming soon" on the product page. My pre-order says "delayed" with no eta, just a date they're going to cancel it if they can't fulfill the order by (will be mad if I get pushed to the back of the line).

Foldable Fun
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is not only the best foldable that I have ever used (previous Z Fold 3 & 4 owner), but this is the best phone I have ever owned. Part of that is because of the software and this is where Android really shines. First they have taken a few steps to combat spam/robo calls, by screen and allowing you to block them with one button. I typically get 2-3 per day and the last 2 days I haven't received any. I am sure I will still get them but they seem less frequent. Second is the call notes feature, which transcribes and takes notes of the conversation. when activated, it plays a brief message that the other caller can hear letting them know the conversation is being recorded and then once the call is over you can view the notes from the call. This comes in handy when having discussions while driving or when unable to take notes. They also have these google assistant routines when you set alarms which allows the weather or calendar agenda to be displayed when the alarm rings. The hardware is the second reason this phone is my favorite. The outside screen is similar to any bar style phone and just slightly wider than the Z Fold device which makes the screen so much more usable. When open the phone feels like the equivalent of having 2 monitors for your computer. Runnings 2 apps side by side is what this phone was made for. The camera's are great even though I have taken man pics with them yet. Overall this is the best phone I have ever had and would highly recommend this to anyone in the market for a foldable.

iOS user for >10 yrs and finally made the switch
iOS user for more than 10 yrs and I finally made the switch After spending time with the Google Pixel Fold 9 Pro, I can confidently say it’s one of the most exciting and well-executed devices I’ve ever used. What I Loved: Premium Foldable Design: The engineering is top-notch. The hinge feels robust, and the fold mechanism is smooth and satisfying. When open, the device transforms into a mini tablet, making it perfect for productivity, reading, and entertainment. Gorgeous Display: Both the outer and inner screens are sharp, vibrant, and ultra-responsive. The refresh rate is silky smooth, and the brightness handles outdoor use with no problem. Exceptional Camera System: The cameras are flagship-level. Google’s computational photography shines through with rich detail, excellent low-light performance, and standout features like Magic Eraser and Super Res Zoom. Pure Android Experience: Fast, clean, and intuitive. Google’s software optimization makes multitasking seamless, and Android updates arrive promptly. Great Battery Life: Despite the large screen and power demands, battery life exceeded expectations. I easily got a full day with moderate to heavy use. Why It Deserves 5 Stars: The Pixel Fold 9 Pro isn’t just a foldable phone—it’s a productivity powerhouse, a top-tier camera, and a polished Android experience all in one. While foldables once felt like a gimmick, this feels practical and ready for everyday use. Yes, it's expensive, but you get a premium experience that feels worth the price. Final Verdict: If you’re ready to embrace foldable tech, the Pixel Fold 9 Pro is the best place to start. Google nailed the balance between innovation and usability. Rating: 5/5 stars. Highly recommended.

Exactly how a fold should be.
Finally. I have had every generation of the Z Fold from Samsung. They felt like carrying around a TV remote. For years consumers have begged Samsung for a wider front screen, thinner profile and better battery life. Enter Google. I'm not a power user so their chip doesn't bother me. It has more than enough juice to multitask and handle my day to day flawlessly. And I don't have to carry around a charger.
