As foldable smartphones continue to revolutionize the mobile landscape, Google’s latest offering, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, aims to set new benchmarks for innovation and functionality. This device is now official with Tensor G4 SoC, AI features, and the biggest inner display on a foldable phone. Without further ado, let’s dive deep into the specs, features, and expected price of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold in Nepal.
Design and Build Quality
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold showcases a sleek and sophisticated design that merges form with function. However, the real magic unfolds when the device is opened. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold features a stunning 8-inch Super Aqua Flex OLED display on the inside, offering vibrant colors and sharp clarity that enhance media consumption and multitasking experiences. And it is the largest foldable display yet, even larger than Xiaomi Mix Fold 4’s 7.98-inch panel.

This QXGA+ res display supports a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of up to 2700nits Meanwhile, it gets an IPX8 rating which is good to go against water splashes but an IP48 rating like on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, would have been better against dust protection too. When closed, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold sports a 6.3-inch Acqua AMOLED cover display that functions as a full-fledged panel. It bears a sturdier Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an FHD+ resolution.

Performance
Under the hood, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is powered by Google’s latest custom Tensor G4 chipset, fabricated on a 4nm process. This new processor is optimized for both performance and efficiency, but Google has not been open with its architecture. It’s probably based on the Exynos 2400 SoC. Paired with up to 12GB of RAM, users can expect smooth multitasking and a responsive user experience. Storage options start at 256GB and go up to 512GB, catering to both casual users and power users who require ample space for apps, media, and documents. Likewise, it runs on Android 14 out of the box with a whopping 7 years of OS updates guarantee.

Camera
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold continues Google’s tradition of delivering exceptional camera performance. It features a triple-camera system on the rear, comprising a 50MP primary sensor, a 10.5MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens with 5X optical zoom capabilities. The camera system benefits from Google’s advanced computational photography algorithms, providing stunning images in various lighting conditions. The front-facing camera system includes a 10MP sensor on the cover display. There is a 10MP wide-angle lens on the inner display, ensuring high-quality selfies and video calls regardless of the device’s orientation.

Software

Google has introduced a range of software enhancements to make the most of the foldable form factor. Multi-window support allows users to run and interact with multiple apps simultaneously. At the same time, the updated taskbar offers a desktop-like experience when the device is unfolded.
It’s a 2024 phone and it does bring a lot of AI features. The new features include Pixel Screenshots, Clear Calling, Pixel Studio, Circle to Search, and Gemini. Meanwhile, the photography sides get improved Magic Editor, Best Take, Video Boost, Add Me, Pro controls, and such.
