3. Dimensions and Weight: Slimmer Than Ever
When folded, the Pixel 9 Pro measures a sleek 155.2 x 150.2 x 5.1 mm. Unfolded, it expands to 155.2 x 77.1 x 10.5 mm. Remarkably, this makes it thinner than both its predecessor and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, at 257 grams, it’s no lightweight contender in the foldable smartphone arena.
