With the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google has delivered one of the most practical foldable phones yet thanks to one simple trick. Is that enough?

Thanks to the new Google Pixel 9 smartphone, just $799 buys you an incredibly powerful and versatile mobile device.

You can embrace the best parts of Google's folding Pixel experience on any Android phone you're holding — without spending a single cent.

This time around we’re comparing the very best smartphones Google and Apple have to offer, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. Both of these smartphones were launched rather recently.

At $799/Rs 79,999, the Pixel 9 goes up against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 and the iPhone 15. Can its AI arsenal and clean Android give it an edge?

Google's first-ever folding phone — the Pixel Fold — can do all of those things, but there are some major issues with it, especially when you compare it to the very best Pixel phones. It's chunky, the battery life is disappointing and the internal screen feels a little flimsy.
