The highly anticipated Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is set to launch on August 13, alongside the Pixel 9 series, with an unveiling in India scheduled for August 14. This marks Google’s first foldable smartphone to officially debut in the Indian market, as last year’s Pixel Fold did not make its way to the region. Ahead of the official launch, several key details, including display specifications, dimensions, and expected pricing, have surfaced online.
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Specifications (Expected)
According to a report by 91Mobiles, leaked marketing materials have revealed various aspects of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The device is expected to feature a 6.3-inch Actua cover display and an 8-inch Super Actua main display, both with rounded corners, offering an upgraded size compared to previous models.
The foldable smartphone is rumored to be equipped with Google’s Titan M2 security chip and will include an in-built VPN, ensuring robust security features. As a Pixel device, it will incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) features, such as Circle to Search, Magic Editor, and Best Take. Additionally, a new feature dubbed ‘Add Me’ could allow users to insert themselves into group photos using AI technology.
The packaging for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to include the device, a USB Type-C cable, and a SIM ejector tool, but no charging brick. Notably, the Quick Switch adapter, commonly provided with Google smartphones, was not mentioned in the leak.
In terms of physical dimensions, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is reported to measure 155.2 x 150.2 x 5.1 mm when folded and 155.2 x 77.1 x 10.5 mm when unfolded, as per an Android Headlines report. This would make the device thinner than both its predecessor and the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. Despite its slim profile, the foldable is expected to weigh in at 257g, making it relatively heavy compared to other foldable smartphones on the market.
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Price (Expected)
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is anticipated to be available in two storage variants: 256GB and 512GB. The 256GB model is speculated to be priced at $1,799 (approximately Rs. 1,51,000), while the 512GB variant could cost $1,919 (around Rs. 1,61,000). These prices suggest that the new model will be similarly priced to its predecessor.
As the launch date approaches, these leaks provide a comprehensive look at what to expect from Google’s latest entry into the foldable smartphone market. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold appears to be a significant step forward in terms of design, functionality, and security, positioning itself as a strong contender in the premium foldable segment.
