Thanks to 91Mobiles, we’re gaining more insight into the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Recently released official-looking product renders offer our best glimpse into the phone’s design.

The recently leaked images by tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) showcase the new foldable phone in Obsidian and Porcelain colors. The phone appears to have a wider aspect ratio than the original Google Pixel Fold, which this new phone is anticipated to replace. In addition, we expect the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a taller cover screen and a larger inner folding screen than its predecessor.

As we previously noted, Google has already revealed the name of its new foldable phone and released a teaser video showcasing it. The YouTube video is titled “Introducing the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold” and begins with a display of Google Gemini, implying that Gemini will be a significant feature of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Like an earlier Pixel 9 Pro teaser, the video displays a message on a fully opened device that reads “Oh hi, AI,” followed by the name of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and a reminder about its upcoming launch.

Once again, as previously reported, internal photos reveal that the inner selfie camera on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is now positioned in the top-right corner of the device, unlike the previous model where it was slightly off-center. The camera bar has been replaced with a rectangular module housing two pill-shaped camera lenses. Additional new details about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold include a slightly thinner bezel at the top and bottom of the inner display and a potential reduction in the visibility of the crease.

The Pixel 9 Fold Pro launch is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13. On that day, Google will unveil the regular Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Fold Pro, and likely the next-generation Pixel Watch 3.

Until then, we can probably expect a lot more rumors.

Google’s Pixel phones may finally catch up with the iPhone
Tensor chip inside Pixel 6a.

“The Tensor inside Pixels is essentially a mirror of Samsung’s Exynos silicon, and so are the problems.” That's a rough summation of Pixel user sentiments over the past few years.

If you’re a Pixel smartphone user and have encountered problems such as overheating and poor battery, as well as subpar performance when compared against the Qualcomm processors built atop the TSMC stack, you get the gist. Things might change next year, though, for good.

There’s an interesting change that Google might be making on next year’s Pixel 9a. The change will bring something over from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, according to a new report from Android Headlines.

Per the report, the Pixel 9a will feature a 48-megapixel sensor instead of the 64MP primary sensor found on the Pixel 7a and Pixel 8a. It’s likely the one found on Google’s second-generation foldable Pixel. The report explains that although the Pixel 9a will have a lower resolution sensor, the larger megapixels used should provide better-looking photos.
