Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold review: the ideal foldable phone design

Google has cracked the foldable formula on its second attempt by creating a slightly chunkier Pixel 9 Pro that opens up for a large 8in tablet screen on the inside, beating Samsung at its own game.

Compared with the previous efforts, from the squat and fat passport-shaped Pixel Fold to Samsung's many long and thin Galaxy Z Folds, the new Pixel's simple shape seems so familiar and easy to use you wonder why it took so long for anyone to try it. While it may seem odd to praise a 1,749 ( 1,899/ 1,799/A 2,699) cutting-edge gadget for being most like a "normal" phone that costs half as much, the shape and size of the various foldables' internal screens has never been an issue.
