Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Google has officially revealed the first look at two of its upcoming Pixel 9 series smartphones. In a teaser video posted by the company on X (formerly Twitter), Google revealed the first look at the Pixel 9 Pro smartphone.
Additionally, the tech giant’s next-generation foldable smartphone has also been made official. However, this time, the Pixel Fold will be integrated into the Pixel 9 series and will be rebranded as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Google also confirmed that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold smartphone will be available in India, unlike Google’s first-generation Pixel Fold which skipped the launch in the region.
Google Pixel 9 series: Launch details
Google has already confirmed that it will host its ‘Made By Google’ event on August 13 this year, where it will unveil the Pixel 9 series. The company has also updated its Google Store website with a dedicated page for the Pixel 9 series that reads ‘Coming 14 August’.
While Google has confirmed that the upcoming foldable smartphone will be branded as the Pixel 9, it is also likely that the Pixel 9 series will feature a fourth model. The Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are reportedly expected to have similar screen sizes, but Google could offer a Pixel 9 Pro XL with a larger display.

The image released by Google for the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro reveals the new design of the smartphone and a new camera module. The Pixel 9 Pro features a flat frame instead of the curved edges seen in the previous generation devices. In addition to the new frame design, the Pixel 9 Pro sports a floating island camera module, which is disconnected from the frame, unlike the camera visor design of the Pixel 8 series.
The standard Pixel 9 and the highly anticipated Pixel 9 Pro XL model are also expected to feature a similar design to the Pixel 9 Pro.

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: first look
In the first official image released by Google for the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the company offers a glimpse of the smartphone’s cover display and rear design. Instead of the traditional camera bar on Pixel devices, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold features a square-shaped isolated camera island on the top-left side of the device. Similar to the Pixel 9 Pro model, the Pro Fold also appears to feature a flat-frame design.
On the display side, it’s hard to tell, but the smartphone appears to feature a narrower cover display, which would likely also affect the aspect ratio of the inner foldable display.
