<\/div>

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold clearly demonstrates that Samsung might be losing its edge in foldable smartphone innovation. We can argue that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers better overall hardware than the Galaxy Z Fold6. This suggests Samsung might be getting complacent due to the lack of strong competition globally. Now, Google is stepping in with serious competition, launching its foldable in seventeen countries.<\/p>\n

Better Aspect Ratios<\/h3>\n

Users have long criticized the Galaxy Z Fold series for its awkward aspect ratios, particularly the narrow cover screen. Although Samsung has made some improvements, the Galaxy Z Fold6’s cover screen remains too narrow compared to standard bar smartphones.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold boasts a 6.3-inch cover display with a 20:9 aspect ratio, providing a more familiar and user-friendly experience. Additionally, it’s a 1080p panel, whereas the Z Fold6 falls short at 968p.<\/p>\n

Bigger and Better Display<\/h3>\n

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold stands out with its larger folding display, measuring 207.4 cm\u00b2 compared to the Z Fold6’s 185.2 cm\u00b2. It also has a higher resolution and a near 1:1 ratio, which makes multitasking more efficient. Multitasking is, after all, a key reason people buy book-style foldables.<\/p>\n

Thinner Yet Heavier<\/h3>\n

Google has managed to slim down the Pixel 9 Pro Fold significantly. When folded, it’s just 10.5mm thick, which is close to the thickness of a regular smartphone. This makes it substantially thinner than both the Galaxy Z Fold6, which is 12.1mm, and the OnePlus Open, which is 11.7mm. When unfolded, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is just 5.1mm thick, barely more than the thickness of its USB-C port.<\/p>\n

More RAM and Better Cameras<\/h3>\n

While the Galaxy Z Fold6 uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which might have better performance than Google’s new Tensor G4, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has an advantage in RAM. It comes with 16GB of RAM, compared to the Galaxy Z Fold6’s 12GB. More RAM allows for smoother multitasking and better responsiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
