- Google unveils the Pixel 9 Pro Fold with a playful teaser video, showcasing a sleek design and innovative camera setup.
- The new foldable phone features narrower bezels and a thinner aspect ratio for improved usability and viewing experience.
- Positioned for the "Gemini era," the Pixel 9 Pro Fold integrates advanced AI capabilities to enhance user experiences.
Google took to its website and social media channels to officially tease the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, thereby acting in a rather playful manner to get ahead of all those leakers. This time, the company takes back the narrative with an endearing teaser video, a far-out move from the age-old blurry leaks that give away upcoming products.
Google Discontinues the Pixel Fold and Reveals the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
The video reveals how a Pixel user breaks up with an old phone to switch to a “magical” new device—the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. In this regard, it will be an even further massive departure from the past unveilings, attesting to Google’s initiative by showing off their innovation to the public eye once again.
A Break-up Letter to the Old Phone
In the teaser video, Google AI chatbot Gemini is used to write a breakup letter with the current phone. Scrolling down the screen with the letter, we could briefly look at the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Showing a narrower outer display compared to its predecessor, the Pixel Fold, the phone unfolds to an inner display with slimmer, more symmetrical bezels that promise an improved viewing experience.
Although the video does not completely express the inner screen, reports have that the new model comes with a thinner and narrower aspect ratio. It may provide a better grip and improved usability.
The most significant design change occurs at the front of the camera. A refreshing look is given to the device by Google as it replaces the horizontal camera bar on the Pixel Fold with the new camera island design.
Design and Camera Upgrades
There is a rumor that the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be thin—it will be slightly thinner than the Pixel Fold—but there are some trade-offs in this regard. On the back, three out of five cameras will pack smaller sensors than the 2023 model. Much of this has already begun to make many photography enthusiasts develop cold feet over image quality. Improvements in design and AI can still turn out to be worthwhile.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold represents a quantum leap for Google. While it succeeds the Pixel Fold, launched before the general push to artificial intelligence, this new foldable phone will be the product positioned as part of the “Gemini era.” It should lean very hard into Google’s advanced AI capabilities, uniquely positioning this foldable phone.
A New Era of AI Integration
But besides this teaser video, Google has also published on its website an image of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold that sets expectations for a full reveal on August 13th. Not only does this year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold come with stunning technology, but it’s also further proof of Google’s fantastic AI capability. AI integration in the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold perfectly demonstrates Google’s vision of how AI can seamlessly enhance user experiences.
