While the Google Pixel 9 Pro Foldable It hasn’t shipped yet, but one lucky person has already gotten their hands on an Obsidian-colored unit and happily unboxed it on Reddit for the world to see.

The crease out of the box appears to have improved significantly compared to the original Pixel warp‘s, although it is still very much present. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold also ships unfolded inside the box, unlike its predecessor which was folded.
Speaking of which, the same Reddit user also posted a comprehensive photoshoot comparing Google’s new foldable smartphone with Google’s old foldable smartphone side by side, side by side. The new device’s different aspect ratio is very obvious, as is its larger size.

This change also makes the Pixel 9 Pro Fold feel much more like a generic foldable smartphone, and less unique than its predecessor. But that should come with a silver lining, in that apps will have fewer issues on the foldable display.
