View attachment 2412729 View attachment 2412730 View attachment 2412731 This was my concern as well…looks much lower than I expected as the original Pixel Fold is much
This was a concern of mine so thanks for figuring it out. It looks much lower than I would’ve expected, especially considering the original Pixel Fold’s location was more centrally located, if not actually slightly above center.

I have some of that fancy magnet paper like MKBHD uses, was hoping it would help with magnetic ring placement but doesn’t help locate the induction coil on its own.

Got the Fold 9 today, haven’t set it up and played with it yet but first impression is that it feels awesome in the hand. Slim and good weight distribution. Feels much better than the Fold 6 and iPhone 15 PM. Only have used a Fold 4-6 as a foldable before. Looking forward to this one.

PS someone buy my mint 1TB Fold 6 on thr marketplace, it’s priced to sell!!!

Alright, finally have some time to set up the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Quick initial impressions:

  • What a beautiful device...love the changes Google made. Feel so nice in the hand, much improved layout/bezel on the interior screen, super thin but feels very solid.
  • The setup process very closely now resembles the setup for iPhone...and I love it. So much more seamless. Apple's process is great and glad to see it copied here.
  • With just some initial usage setting up apps and such and it feels very quick and snappy.
Overall, feels like a marked improvement over the first gen model. Looking forward to diving deeper. And yes, going to rock it naked for the time being. 😜

I can't deny the rest of the Pixel 9 line doesn't look lovely but is it just me that thinks the over-filleting of the corners and corresponding lack of symmetry when its closed makes the 9 Fold look ugly as sin? It looks like a fitted add-on for a regular phone rather than a homogenous product. The Z Fold 6 has a nice smart business-like symmetry to itself whilst the Magic v3 lowers the corner radius to at least give it first-glance. To me the 9 Fold is te ugliest phone we've seen in some time.
I absolutely agree. We're all different and react in different ways to such things. I find it incongruous to have rounded and squared corners on different sides. Call it what you will, OCD, whatever, but it is probably the thing that put me off the fold more than anything else.

I didn't really notice it until seeing the Porcelain colour but it does look a bit off with the hinge side.

Some quick pics taken this morning... Macro shots as well as a normal picture down the garden (and Finley) and the x5 zoom (with Finley) and then full zoom (with Finley scowling at me as he's not had his biscuits yet) 🤔🤣

The picture of my wedding ring; you zoom in and you can see the hallmarks well but also where it's been resized too!

The camera capabilities so far seem to be superb and better than the original Fold and they weren't bad cameras at all!

Very impressed with Google return process.
Returned my 9 Pro XL on Saturday at a local drop off point. It was scanned and off it went.
Full refund received today money back in account.
That's pretty good considering the device was being sent to Poland! Randomly. 😝.
