Google's hardware event is all set to take place on August 13. Around a month ahead of the "Made By Google" event, the tech giant posted a new teaser video for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, ending speculation about the design and name of its next foldable Android phone. The teaser suggests an off-white colour option for the foldable. It seems to have a dual-level rear camera design. Notably, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is also confirmed to debut in the Indian market. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is anticipated to come with upgrades over last year's Pixel Fold.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold design revealed

Shortly after revealing the Pixel 9 Pro, Google showed off the Pixel 9 Pro Fold in a teaser video confirming the design and name. The handset is shown with the tagline "foldable phone built for the Gemini era" and we can see an AI chatbot in the video. The foldable appears to have a prominent camera rectangular bump and lenses are arranged vertically in a dual-level design.

The teaser video reveals the external display and its hinge mechanism of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The cover display has a hole punch cutout. It is showcased in an off-white finish which looks similar to Google's signature Porcelain shade, and we can expect to see more vibrant colourways when it goes official.
