The two capacitive touchscreens respond quickly and image changes are displayed smoothly, thanks to the 120Hz screen. Unfortunately, the Google Foldable does not support pen input. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold benefits from responsive vibrations thanks to a linear electric motor. Samsung’s famous Flex mode, an expanded screen option when folded, is also possible.
Unfortunately, Google didn’t stick with its old aspect ratio and is now using a 20:9 panel for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s cover screen. If the Pixel Fold
had a 17.4:9 screen (when opened) and a near-tablet ratio, its successor has a now-familiar, almost square display format. Potential buyers should therefore be aware that the 8-inch screen is less suitable for many applications due to its unusual format.
Biometric security is provided by a 2D face unlock function using the two 10 MPix cameras or by a fingerprint sensor located on the power button. In our testing, both methods unlocked the device quickly and reliably.
