The Google Pixel Fold 9 Pro is a significant entry in the rapidly evolving foldable smartphone market, offering a compelling blend of innovative design

If you paid for a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you bought an expensive phone. If you break it, it's also going to cost a lot.

While you can’t buy inner screen protectors for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you can get phone cases which should be able to absorb the shock of a drop better than the phone’s chassis alone. And bear in mind that the non-dust proof devices shouldn’t be taken to the beach, or anywhere particularly dusty.

The genuine Pixel 9 Pro Fold main screen costs $1,199, which is the same price as a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max and is more expensive than the Pixel 9 Pro XL. With that being said, other components are available at a more reasonable price, like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's batteries.

With prices starting at $1,799, the Pixel Pro 9 Fold is one of the most expensive smartphones on the market. iFixit’s inner screen replacement for last year’s Pixel Fold was also costly at $899, but this is still an alarming jump for the latest model.

The OnePlus Open 2 is apparently just around the corner, and it could be a massive improvement! How will it compare against the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
