Take Pixel Fold, Google’s first-generation foldable phone. It’s compact and pocket-friendly, and comes with the power and innovation of Google AI – plus an amazing camera for night photography. Unfold it and the phone’s large, immersive inner display is ready for movies, work, and multitasking. 

But what if we told you this device has gotten even better? Enter Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It’s Google’s best foldable phone yet, combining the most innovative aspects of the first-generation model with improved features – from a sleek design and bigger, brighter inner and outer displays to impressive multitasking abilities and powerful AI tools like Night Sight Video and Super Res Zoom. Plus, this new Pixel Fold is powered by Google Tensor G4, Pixel’s fastest, most powerful chip. As Sebastian Rodriguez, a senior product marketing manager for the Pixel Camera, puts it: “This is a whole different Fold.”

With so much packed into such a slim foldable, there are tons of reasons to love Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Here are six of our favorites. 

One of the biggest draws of a foldable phone is the way you can unfold it and turn it into an entertainment system. 

Pixel 9 Pro Fold is ideal for watching, reading, playing, and multitasking, thanks to its dual screens. Immerse yourself in entertainment and ease through daily tasks with the 80% brighter 8" Super Actua Flex inner display and 6.3" Actua outer display (compared to 7.6" and 5.8" displays on the first-generation device).^2,3 The inner screen is the largest display on a phone.¹

Watching a show when you see a pair of shoes you love? Search for items directly without switching apps with Circle to Search, a Google AI–powered feature included on Pixel 9 Pro Fold.⁴

The second-gen Pixel Fold is 13% thinner and 8% lighter than its predecessor, so it can easily slip into your pocket or bag. And that slim look is matched by a new design, which features a silky matte glass back with a satin finish metal frame and polished metal hinge. The larger 6.3" outer screen gives you a premium phone even when it’s closed.³

“One of the amazing things about the Fold is its form factor,” says Rodriguez. “It got thinner, lighter, more pocketable, and has the biggest display on any Pixel phone.” 

Whether you’re the designated photographer for your friends and family or a content creator recording videos for social media, Pixel 9 Pro Fold has something to offer. Its new Google AI editing tools and best-in-class camera⁵ make it easy to take photos and videos and edit them like a professional. “With Pixel 9 Pro Fold, we’re bringing in Pro controls to help you fully adjust your photos,” says Rodriguez.

And good news for selfie aficionados: The rear camera on Pixel 9 Pro Fold is more powerful than ever, letting you enjoy picture-perfect photos and videos with Rear Camera Selfie mode. Plus, you can take hands-free selfies thanks to the foldable design. All you have to do is set Pixel on a surface while in tabletop mode and say, “Hey Google, take a selfie” to start the countdown. 

To take your selfies and regular photos to new heights, the foldable Pixel 9 Pro has Dual Screen Preview. Because this Pixel unfolds, you can take a selfie using the higher-quality back camera, while also being able to preview your image on the outer display as you take it. And this feature goes beyond selfies – try Dual Screen in Portrait Mode. While you’re setting up the shot on your inner screen, your photo subjects can preview how it looks on the outer screen, posing and adjusting in real time, so everyone can feel their most confident.

Life’s best moments don’t always happen in ideal lighting conditions. That’s why the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold lets you take sharp, clear video, even in low light, by expanding Night Sight to video. Say you’re filming a video of your kids trick-or-treating, or you want to get the whole family around the campfire under the stars. You can automatically adjust color, lighting, stabilization, and graininess with Night Sight Video enabled by Video Boost, so all your videos are high-quality, even when conditions aren’t. 

No tripod? No problem. Take group photos and watch videos hands-free with Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s tabletop mode. Try it out for a spectacular picture of the night sky – simply place your Pixel 9 Pro Fold on a rock, car roof, or any surface, and point the camera at the area of the sky you want to frame. Then, either tap the shutter button, set a timer, or use the camera app on your Pixel Watch to take the photo. Voila: a clear, brilliant image of the Milky Way.

We can’t get enough photos of our kids. But let’s face it, the cutest subjects aren’t always the easiest ones to photograph. Grab the attention of your easily distracted kids with Made You Look, a camera feature exclusive to Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The outer screen will show silly images and play fun sounds, encouraging them to look directly at the camera just in time for you to get genuine smiles and giggles. 

Boost the quality and creativity of your photography with AI-powered tools like Pro controls, Magic Editor,⁶ and Best Take.⁷

Create full-resolution, richly detailed scenery photography and studio-quality 48 MP images usually associated with DSLR cameras using your Pixel 9 Pro Fold – all thanks to its newly expanded Pro controls, giving you access to advanced camera features like manual focus, ISO, and more.

Easily adjust and reframe your photographs with Magic Editor’s Auto Frame. Say you’re skiing with the family and snapping pictures of your daughter as she tackles her first slope. With all the action happening, it might be hard to properly frame your photo. But, even if the picture doesn’t come out quite right, the Auto Frame preset tool will help you align and rotate a crooked image to keep the subject front and center. Maybe the photo doesn’t quite show the snowy mountain – Auto Frame helps you zoom out and extend the photo edges with realistic details, so you can better preserve the day.

Ever wished for better weather when you’re taking pictures? Magic Editor’s Reimagine tool may not be able to control Mother Nature, but it can change different elements in your photos. Turn a gloomy horizon into a colorful sunset full of clouds by selecting the sky and typing what you want to see into the input prompt.

Group photos are easy with Best Take, which allows you to blend similar photos into one fantastic image where everyone looks their best. Now you don’t need to worry about your son making a silly face, or your friends not agreeing on the photo that’s most flattering to all. Best Take means no one needs to be the one with their eyes closed in the group photo.

Headed out on the road? Planning a camping trip in the wilderness? Pixel 9 Pro Fold looks out for you.

Like its first-generation counterpart, Pixel 9 Pro Fold comes with Car Crash Detection so that you’ll be able to get the help you need if you’re in an accident. But the newer device allows you to reach emergency services even when there’s no carrier signal, with a feature called Satellite SOS. 

Powered by the Titan M2 chip, Pixel 9 Pro Fold is safer than ever, thanks to anti-malware features like spam protection in Messages and Safe Browsing.⁸ It also makes securing your phone easier with Face Unlock on the inner and outer screens.

Durability matters. That’s why, in response to user feedback, Google designed Pixel 9 Pro Fold to be tougher and long-lasting, with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 on the outer display and back and a new, sturdy hinge that more easily opens up to fully flat – with smaller bezels and a less noticeable crease when unfolded. “It’s amazing,” Rodriguez says, “that on a pocketable phone, I can go all out and have a true flat display.” 

The new Pixel 9 Pro Fold is built to last, and comes with 7 years of updates. These range from software and security updates to exciting Pixel Drops, so you’ll get the best Google has to offer all the way through 2030.⁹ That means the best upgrades are yet to come.
