Google wants us to know it’s taking the Pixel Fold seriously this time around

We’re only a few days away from Google’s event to unveil the new Pixel phones, and we already have an idea of ​​what the company will be rolling out. In fact, Google itself was happy to reveal that the new Pixel Fold will be called the “Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.” What a long name.

But wait, why not the Pixel Fold 2?

Funny thing, isn’t it? Last year, we had pixel foldsand now it’s suddenly called Pixel 9 Pro Fold, what does it give?

I think Google wants to send us a message – subtle and not-so-subtle – that the new pixel folds It will be “taken seriously” and not ignored this time. But what do I mean?

Well, last year pixel folds The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro launched in early summer at a cool $1,799. However, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro launched — as usual — in October. Well, nothing out of the ordinary.
Then came the December feature for Pixels. Oh, I forgot about that — I meant to say PixelMany of the AI ​​features with Gemini are now available… Pixel 8 Pro. not pixel 8and certainly not pixel folds.

This was kind of ridiculous, wasn’t it? And I never missed an opportunity to poke fun at this decision. Imagine this – you’re a diehard Google supporter and you bought the original pixel folds In June 2023, priced at $1,799. Six months later, Google is launching a massive feature with advanced AI developments… exclusively for the Pixel phone that costs nearly half the price of your “premium” foldable phone!

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who noticed this – Google probably heard about it from users and people close to the company, and it was probably discussed internally.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure calling the new foldable phone “Pixel 9 Pro” is meant to signal that it won’t happen this year. So… well, let’s buy a foldable phone. pixel foldsI believe!

It’s good to know that it’s actually a flagship device this time around.

The pace of Pixel releases last year put the OG Fold in a strange position. It launched four months before the pixel 8 family, so it was stuck with the older generation chipset – pixel folds It had the Tensor G2, which powers the older Pixel 7 phones, while newer phones pixel 8 The family was launched with the Tensor G3.

So, again, it was awkward trying to make a purchasing decision between very luxurious products. pixel foldsWith older generation technology, the “regular” flagship Pixel 8 Pro With the latest equipment inside.

It’s a very good move by Google to launch all the Pixel 9 phones at the same time – we’ll get the Tensor G4 in all of them, and you won’t have to make any compromises or weird choices with your money. And again, Google is reinforcing this with a slight rebranding – it’s not pixel foldsthat it Pixel 9 Pro (but also he) fold(S).

Which makes me wonder…will cameras be installed on… Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Will it be the same? Well, we’ll find out in a couple of days!
