The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a robust and well-crafted foldable phone with excellent aspect ratios, a 6.3-inch cover display, and an 8.0-inch interior display. It’s a solid choice in the market, despite its high price of €1,899, and offers a more comfortable user experience than the Galaxy Z Fold6.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is Google’s first foldable device, a follow-up to the intriguing but ultimately rare Pixel Fold. This time around, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold could be your top choice for a book-style foldable at the moment.
Despite its hefty price tag of €1,899, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold starts at just 256GB and ships with only a USB cable. Interestingly, this is the same accessory situation with the Galaxy Z Fold6.
You can also pick up a first-party case from Google for an extra €60.
Google clearly saw Oppo’s Find N3 (globally known as the OnePlus Open) as a good blueprint for this type of device. Put side-by-side, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is slightly taller and wider, and in the hand, it’s heftier as well.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold has great aspect ratios on both sides. The cover display is a 6.3-inch panel with a regular 20:9 aspect ratio. Inside is a large 8.0-inch unit with a 1:1 ratio that’s perfect for reading or viewing two apps side-by-side.
Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold is sturdy and fills you with a sense of robustness and good craftsmanship. It’s also nicely tight and flat, closing tightly and without a gap. Inside, there’s hardly a noticeable crease in the folding screen.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold6 is a bit infamous these days for its insistence on the narrower cover screen aspect ratio. It’s not as comfortable to use as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold but it does allow for a much smaller and lighter device – the Galaxy Z Fold6 is 18g lighter.
Here’s a look at Google’s entire Pixel 9 lineup. Interestingly, apart from the 6.8-inch Pixel 9 Pro XL, the rest of the series is 6.3-inch. From left to right we have the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
We’ll take our time with this review as there’s a lot to go over, but expect a detailed comparison with the Galaxy Z Fold6 at some point too!
