What’s new with the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is longer, thinner and lighter but narrower than the Pixel Fold. The fingerprints are the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protecting the front and back (the previous version had victus only), and aerospace aluminium alloy. The newcomer also looks new thanks to the clearly expressed separate island for the main rear camera.
The device is most likely lighter because it is equipped with a smaller 4,650mAh battery – in the Pixel Fold, there was a 4,821mAh battery. It has the capability to support wired charging of 45W only that the cable has to be purchased separately.
