However wait, why not Pixel Fold 2?
Humorous factor, proper? Final 12 months, we had a Pixel Fold, now it is all of the sudden referred to as Pixel 9 Professional Fold. What offers?
I feel Google needs to ship us a message — subtly and never so subtly — that the brand new Pixel Fold will probably be “taken critically” and never swept below the rug this time round. What do I imply, although?
Which was sort of ridiculous, proper? And I have not missed a possibility to take a jab at that call. Think about this — you’re an avid Google supporter and purchased the OG Pixel Fold in June 2023, for the worth of $1,799. Six months down the road, Google pushes out a large function drop with its cutting-edge AI developments… unique to a Pixel telephone that prices virtually half the worth of your “premium” foldable!
I’m fairly certain I’m not the one one which observed this — Google most likely heard it from customers and other people near the corporate, perhaps it was even argued internally.
In any case, I’m fairly certain that giving the brand new foldable a “Pixel 9 Professional” moniker is supposed to suggest — and to be sure that we perceive — that this may not occur this 12 months. So… uh, let’s purchase a Pixel Fold, I suppose!
It is good to know that it is an precise flagship this time round
So, once more, it was awkward to try to make a shopping for choice between the super-premium Pixel Fold, with older-gen tech, and the “regular” flagship Pixel 8 Professional with the most recent {hardware} inside.
Which makes me surprise… will the cameras on the Pixel 9 Professional and Pixel 9 Professional Fold be the identical? Welp, we’ll know in a few days!
