With the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google might be targeting new markets
Just recently, Google showed the Pixel 9 Pro and then teased its upcoming foldable, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, with a new video. After showing it off on social media and its website, it looks like Google plans to take the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to more markets, unlike the original, which was only available in four countries.
The original Pixel Fold was only available in the US, the UK, Germany, and Japan. However, based on where the teaser on the Google Store was shared, it looks like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold might be expanding its reach to 9 countries this time around.
Even though Google is expanding into Asia, Europe, and North America, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold might not reach all 23 countries where Pixel phones are currently available. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold could make it to:
The second-generation foldable is called the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, not the Pixel Fold 2, as previously expected. The new model is said to be 2mm slimmer than the original, with slimmer bezels and a less noticeable crease. Plus, the inner selfie camera has been relocated to the corner of the screen.
More on the camera front, three out of the five cameras on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold are rumored to have smaller sensors compared to last year's model. The new foldable is also expected to include a 4,560mAh battery made up of two packs – one with 1,183mAh and the other with 3,377mAh – working together, which is a common setup for foldables.
