Right now, it almost feels like Google and Apple are racing to see whose upcoming phones can leak more. Both the Pixel 9 line and the iPhone 16 series are seeing new rumor drops almost every day. However, it looks like Google might be winning this leak battle, as today we have several new details about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
First up, let’s talk about the release date. We already know that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be announced alongside the rest of the Pixel 9 line on August 13. According to Android Headlines, all of these phones will be available for pre-order immediately after the announcement.
However, while the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL will ship on August 22, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to ship later. The latest reports suggest it will land on September 4, giving eager buyers a bit of a wait before they can get their hands on this new foldable phone.
While there’s a slight delay in the shipping date, there’s better news when it comes to pricing. According to leaker @OnLeaks, in collaboration with 91Mobiles, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will cost $1,799 for the 256GB model and $1,919 for the 512GB version. This is the same pricing as the original Google Pixel Fold, meaning there won’t be a price increase this year.
There’s no specific pricing for other regions yet, but for reference, the original Pixel Fold costs £1,749 for the 256GB model and £1,869 for the 512GB one in the UK. We might see similar prices again for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. As for Australia, there’s no comparison available since the original Pixel Fold didn’t launch there. It remains to be seen whether the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will make its way to the Australian market.
The leaked promo images of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold reveal some exciting details. The phone will feature an 8-inch foldable screen and a 6.3-inch outer display. These sizes are larger than the original Pixel Fold, which had a 7.6-inch foldable display and a 5.8-inch cover screen. This means users can expect a more immersive viewing experience with the new model.
Additionally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold can unfold completely flat, unlike its predecessor. This design improvement is sure to be a hit with users who value seamless and uninterrupted screen real estate.
Along with the pricing details, @OnLeaks also shared some promo images of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. These images provide a glimpse into the phone’s design and features. From the images, it’s clear that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is set to be a stylish and functional device.
A promo video, also leaked by @OnLeaks in collaboration with Android Headlines, doesn’t reveal much new information but does show that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold can indeed unfold completely flat. This feature sets it apart from the original Pixel Fold and highlights Google’s focus on improving the user experience.
While we’d still take all of this information with a pinch of salt, much of it comes from what appears to be official marketing material, making it likely accurate. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold promises to be an exciting addition to Google’s lineup, with its larger displays, unchanged pricing, and improved design. We can’t wait for the official announcement on August 13 to see how much of these leaks hold and to finally get a full look at what the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has to offer.
As we inch closer to the release date, the anticipation continues to build. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official launch!
