Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold – Unlocked Android Smartphone with Gemini – Advanced Triple Rear Camera System – Foldable Display – Hands-Free Video – Obsidian – 512 GB

An absolute joy to use
I hadn’t tried a Pixel phone since the Pixel 2 XL, which was one of my all time favorite devices. I decided to stick to Apple’s ecosystem since then, just for simplicity sake, since the rest of our family all use iPhones. I decided to bite the bullet and dip my toe back in the Android world with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and I have to say, I could not be happier with the decision.Battery life has been phenomenal and I’ve not hit the end of a day where I was lower than 60% left. That’s with a fairly extensive use of the device, including video watching, replying to emails, using navigation, and some casual browsing. I don’t really do much game playing so I can’t speak to that.Phone quality has felt fantastic. I’ve no complaints what so ever on how the device feels in the hand, or behaves. The OS feels buttery smooth and the hardware is just delightful to use.All of the screens are very good, but being a foldable, it’s really all about that interior display, and I’ve been thoroughly pleased with it. There is a slight crease where the phone folds but you honestly don’t notice it when you’re using the device. Just if the light hits it just right or you’re dragging something with your finger across the length of it. But that’s true of all foldable.Durability seems good, although it’s early days. I’d highly recommend a case that protects the hinge because I’ve been reading a few reports online of folks getting small rocks or even sand trapped in the hinge or inner display and it causing problems. No surprises there really, I’d expect that to be a risk.The face unlock works pretty well, except in low light conditions. But the fingerprint reader works flawlessly so, unlike my iPhone, I’m not forced to immediately resort to a PIN. Also, if you pair this with a Pixel Watch 3, the watch can act like you’re biometric unlock, so you almost never need to deal with any of that anyway. Great stuff!

So so foldable phone
Bad CPU, okay crease size, good screen size.Honestly the best second generation foldable phone from google, but still too expensive.I would not recommand it for the retail price.

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Great phone.

My experience was terrible.
My experience was terrible.

I honestly love this phone. I use the split screen a lot with my job so it’s perfect! The battery life is good too. Really, the only thing that I dislike, is the price. I don’t understand why there’s that big of a gap between the 9 pro and the fold. I bought it during the Black Friday so I saved a lot but still…At retail, it’s getting absurd. But, like I said, I really love it.

So far love the phone, it doesn’t feel as strong as the z fold6, but it matches the quality! It has a better battery and the front screen being bigger is wonderful! The experience of going from the outside screen to the inner is seemless.One warning which no one tells you, if you buy from amazon you CANNOT buy insurance from google, so i would 100% suggest buying insurance from amazon with the purchase of the phone.Last tip, if you buy the phone and plan on getting the watch and headphones, get the phone first, open the gemini app and sign up for the free 12 months of google + gemini, you then get 10% cashback on all google store purchases, so currently you get £50 in store credit (during the current promotion) when buying the watch as well as an extra 40-50 for the google one plan. Same for the headphones, £30 and the extra 40-50.

This is a whole new experience compared to the original pixel fold. Much lighter, thinner, faster and bigger.Not cheap by any means but knocks the Samsung equivalent out of the park.
