FULL STORY
======================================================================

Google is either getting ahead of itself or simply wants to get ahead of more 
leaks. Just a few hours after giving us our first look at the Pixel 9 Pro , 
the technology giant has shared yet another teaser that confirms its 
second-generation Pixel Fold is incoming. 

The teaser, titled "Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, confirms the new name and gives 
us our best look at the device yet. It shows off the internal main display, 
the hinge, and the backside, which boasts a redesigned main camera module. 

Of course, its also getting Google Gemini and shows off the likely headlining 
feature with Oh Hi, AI on the screen. Before the device appears, Google shows 
off its generative text capabilities as well. 

The biggest revelation from this teaser, though, would be a confirmation of 
the new naming scheme, which moves the Pixel Fold in line with the rest of 
Googles smartphone family and with some of the hardware. Notably, the slimmer 
horizontal camera bar that resembled the Pixel 8 or Pixel 7 on the original 
Pixel Fold is being swapped for a square camera bump with two rows of lenses, 
a flash, and a microphone. 

Just like the Pixel 9 Pro, the refreshed camera bump appears to be pretty 
thick, which will prevent the Pixel 9 Pro Fold from lying flat on a 
tabletjust like the original Pixel Fold and Samsungs Galaxy Z Fold. The rest 
of the design matches up with some earlier leaks of the device , which shows 
Google aims to strike a new chord with the second generation. 

One thing I am not sure I can understand, though, is the updated name  Pixel 
Fold 2 not only rolls off the tongue better but is also considerably shorter. 
Still, if leaks are to be believed, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold should sport larger 
displays on the front and inside, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 , faster 
processing for a responsive experience, and plenty of power for these new AI 
features. 

You can see the teaser in full above. Google also updated a teaser page on 
its online store, calling out the standard Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold 
and allowing you to sign up for more information. 

Luckily, you wont have to wait much longer as Google is expected to formally 
unveil the Pixel 9 Pro Fold alongside the Pixel 9 Pro and likely a few other 
devices at its August 13, 2024, event , and TechRadar will be on the ground 
to unpack everything as it happens. Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review
