To say the Pixel 9 Pro Fold had a glow up might be an understatement. You wouldn’t even be able to tell it’s the successor to last year’s Pixel Fold just by looking at it.
While Google’s second-gen foldable phone has all the upgrades you’d expect from a new phone in 2024 — including a new processor and fancy AI features — it’s the fresh design that makes it feel different. With its narrower yet larger cover screen, Google is straying from the Pixel Fold’s passport-like shape and opting for a design that more closely resembles a regular phone when closed. That shift makes the Pixel 9 Pro Fold feel much more practical than its predecessor.
