What’s different about the rumored Foldable?
Well, well! Today, Google’s smartphone “Google Pixel 9” series was finally announced! … But which device are you all curious about?
This time, the foldable “Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold” was also announced at the same time, so people are curious to see what the differences are between it and the standard model.
I was one of them, and I had the opportunity to try out the actual device at a media experience event ahead of the release, so I compared the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold with the Google Pixel 9 and Google Pixel 9 Pro .
I’ll be providing a detailed review on performance and camera functions at a later date, so first let me look at the appearance and the differences in design.
Thinness: The Pixel 9 is thin enough, but the Fold is amazing.
I was surprised by how thick the Pixel 9 Pro Fold was. What is that?
The left is the Pixel 9 and the right is the Fold, but it’s amazing how thick it is when folded. The sides have a matte anodized finish, just like the Pixel 9 .
The Pixel 9 Pro series has glossy, glossy sides, but the Fold has a matte finish. But the hinge of the 9 Fold is shiny. It’s a hybrid finish . It’s strange.
Screen: The Fold has a large, portable screen
The most obvious difference is the screen. This enormous screen is what you see when you open the Fold!
Wow, it’s the best! Whether you want to browse the web, look at maps, or read books, you can get the ultimate mobility and convenience with just this one device.
So you can use it on this screen even when it’s closed .
As I wrote in this article , the Fold’s hinge seems to have a very high level of rigidity and design.
Camera bump: The Fold has a three-lens, square-shaped camera
Another visible difference is the camera bump .
Both have a machined-look design (and they’re both really beautiful!), but the 9 Pro Fold has a three-lens configuration and a square camera bump, giving it an impressive look.
This is where a battle is likely to break out between those who think “slim is more beautiful, right?” and those who think “this self-assertion is beautiful!” . Me? Fold.
I compared some of the design aspects in this way, but the Fold was much thinner than I expected , and it’s not much thicker than the Pixel 9 Pro series. So I thought, wouldn’t it be better to go for the Fold with its larger screen?
