Reviewing Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold with a comparison vs Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6, to see which foldable phone is best for camera performance, gaming, battery life and beyond. As well as unboxing the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, here's my one week verdict after using it as my full time smartphone!
My favourite bendy blower in 2024 is probably still the OnePlus Open, especially the new Apex Edition. But the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a lot to offer including the usual AI guff (like the Samsung Z Fold 6), incredibly bright screens and its usual super-smart image processing. The camera hardware isn't as advanced as the regular Pixel 9 Pro, but you'll still capture slick, realistic photos any time of day. Meanwhile the Galaxy Z Fold 6 likes to boost those tones to really catch the eye.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold can handle some light gaming but does heat up quickly, while Samsung's foldable phone stays cool under pressure. But when it comes to battery life, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is the winner here. Even if that charging speed is ridiculously slow.
I like the multi-tasking split-screen experience on both foldable smartphones here. That said, Google's handset is sometimes a bit glitchy, which will hopefully be sorted in an Android update soon.
So in the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 battle, which mighty phone is the winner? Let us know your thoughts below!
