The second-generation foldable is something Google genuinely seems to be proud of and the company is not shying away from sharing their pride with you. The company shared a blog post on Google Blog yesterday detailing every thought and engineering that made Pixel 9 Pro Fold possible. Google redesigned the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and made it thinner.

The 9 Pro Fold is 1.5 millimetres thinner when closed and 0.7 millimetres when open compared to the first-generation Pixel Fold.

What worked as a starting point for the current design tweaks and enhancement is insights into how people interacted with the original Pixel Fold. Most first-generation users, while enjoying the new form factor and tablet-like experience, also want to use their foldable like a regular smartphone. They want to be able to use their foldable phone close as much as open. Explaining this, Google’s Director of Industrial Design Claude Zellweger said, “We saw that people were often using it closed. That’s what led us to say, ‘Hey, we need to make this a phone first in terms of design. Our mantra became ‘phone first.’” Video (Credit - Google Blog) The “multi-alloy steel, high-strength aluminium alloy-covered ” hinge also played a role in making the device thinner. Compared to last year, the new hinge is more durable.

The camera bar doesn’t span the entire width. Instead, its design is closer to that of the Pixel Fold. Video (Credit - Google Blog) Google explains that the “double-stacked” camera bar was used to accommodate a larger battery and thinner design while maintaining Pro camera features with “customized optical modules.” Other custom elements include a thinner haptics driver, a smaller USB-C port, and an upgraded “vapour chamber and graphite thermal spreader” for improved thermal management.
