The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is set to launch next month on August 13th, finally catching up to the OnePlus Open’s impressive display game. According to a report by Android Authority, the upcoming foldable will abandon the original Pixel Fold’s unique wide form factor in favor of a more conventional design. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a standard square-ish aspect ratio with a resolution of 2,152 x 2,076.
This shift addresses the “tallness” issue seen in some apps on the original model, aligning the Pixel 9 Pro Fold more closely with competitors like the OnePlus Open.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will also boast an 8-inch inner display, a significant upgrade from the 7.6 inches of its predecessor. This new display offers 1,600 nits of full-screen HDR brightness, a notable improvement over the original’s 1,000 nits. The outer display is enhanced as well, featuring a 6.24-inch panel with 1,800 nits of HDR brightness.
Here’s a detailed comparison of the display specs between the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and its predecessor:
