Now that Samsung has launched its flagship foldable phone for the year, there is only one brand yet to launch its flagship foldable, and that’s Google. The company will announce the Pixel 9 Pro Fold on August 13. Chinese firms have already beaten the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in terms of thinness and hardware specs, and Google is about to do the same.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold is thinner, brighter, and better-specced than Galaxy Z Fold 6
The design and specifications of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold have leaked before its launch. Per the leaked information, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold appears thinner and better-specced than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The next-generation foldable Pixel is reportedly 10.5mm thin (dimensions: 155.2 x 77.1 x 10.5mm) when closed. That is 1.6mm thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
It is heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, though, at 257g. Samsung’s new foldable weighs 239g, which is almost as light as the Galaxy S24 Ultra (232g).
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s inner screen reportedly measures 8 inches diagonally, making it slightly bigger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s. Moreover, the screen is said to reach peak brightness of up to 2,700 nits, 100 nits brighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The Pixel’s cover screen is reportedly 6.3 inches diagonally, but it is wider with an aspect ratio of 20:9 as opposed to the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 22:9 aspect ratio.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold seems to have a 4,650mAh battery. That’s 250mAh bigger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s battery.
The story continues after the video.
According to another leak, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has the Tensor G4 processor and 16GB RAM. The Pixel has more RAM than Samsung’s foldable.
It has a 48MP primary camera, a 10.5MP ultrawide camera, a 10.8MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, and two 10MP selfie cameras (one on the cover screen and another on the inner screen). The telephoto camera has a higher zoom than the one on the Galaxy Z Fold 6
Despite being thinner, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold seems to be better equipped than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Of course, it has the advantage of having a bigger screen, which means Google has more width to fit a bigger battery and a bigger telephoto lens. However, it could have a weaker processor, as Tensor chips have been historically slower and less efficient than their Exynos and Snapdragon counterparts.
Hopefully, Samsung will bring a thinner and better-specced foldable phone with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim later this year.
