Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold: A Competitor to Samsung's Galaxy with Slimmer Bezels and Innovative Software Features

Google is set to launch several new devices as part of the Pixel 9 series on August 13, including the base model Pixel 9 and multiple Pro variants. Among these is the highly anticipated Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, a foldable device that aims to compete with industry leaders like Samsung.

According to various leaks and rumors, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a full design reveal with images showing its inner display which no longer has thick bezels. This is a significant improvement over Google's first attempt at a foldable device, the Pixel Fold, which was criticized for its large top and bottom bezels around the inner display.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to come in two colors: Obsidian and Porcelain. The design shares similarities with the OnePlus Open, including a wide and taller display on the outside that looks fairly similar to regular Pixel 9 models. However, unlike the OnePlus Open, which has an under-display camera, Google opted for a hole punch selfie camera in the corner of its inner display.

The base model Pixel 9 is also set to launch on August 13 and will come in four colors: Porcelain, Obsidian, Rose (or Raspberry), and Green. The device features a matte finish on the side rails and a glossy finish on the back.

Google has committed to releasing the Pixel 9 series after the success of its Pixel 8 lineup. Leaked roadmaps suggest that three models will be released in total: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and a smaller Pro model. The cost of the base model is expected to be around $799, while the price for the Pro variants is rumored to be around $1,799 for the foldable model.

Innovative software features are anticipated for Google's next foldable phone. With Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 now on sale, Google will need to differentiate itself by offering unique features tailored specifically to foldable devices. The company is reportedly working on a project called 'Google Gemini,' which could potentially involve dual-screen technology or other innovative software solutions.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Pixel 9 series as we approach its official launch on August 13.

What Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold Needs to Keep Up With Samsung

CNET Friday, 26 July 2024 18:33
  • Unique Points
    • Google is expected to introduce the Pixel 9 Pro Fold on Aug. 13.
    • The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to have innovative software features for foldable phones.
    • Google's next foldable phone should have a thinner and lighter design compared to the Pixel Fold.
  • Accuracy
    • The price of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to be lower than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6.
    • The entire Pixel 9 series, Pixel Buds Pro 2, and Pixel Watch 3 will launch on August 13.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article expresses a desire for Google to create more innovative software features specifically for foldable phones and mentions Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 as a reference. This is an example of selective reporting, as the author only reports details that support their position and ignores any potential counterarguments or advancements made by Google in this area.
    • We’re still treating book-style foldables as if they’re just larger smartphones when there’s an opportunity for them to be a new type of device entirely.
    • But now that foldable phones have been widely available for around five years, I was hoping to see more from companies like Google when it comes to the software.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes several appeals to authority by mentioning Samsung and its new Galaxy Z Fold 6 multiple times. The author also expresses a desire for Google to 'invent compelling new software features specifically for foldable phones' which is a call to action that could be considered a rhetorical question fallacy if taken out of context. However, the author does not make any explicit fallacious statements and provides valid reasoning throughout the article.
    • ] Google got a lot right with the Pixel Fold, namely its spacious cover screen and high-quality rear camera system. But Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 just went on sale, and its sleeker design and a lighter build makes me want more from Google’s next foldable, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.[
    • We’re still treating book-style foldables as if they’re just larger smartphones when there’s an opportunity for them to be a new type of device entirely.
    • Google is already thinking about this; the Gemini overlay that appears when you summon the virtual assistant will soon be able to run in multiwindow mode on the Z Fold 6. It seems plausible that Google would bake the same functionality into its own foldable.
