Camera Specifications
According to information found in the Camera FV-5 app's device database, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's main rear camera is expected to feature:
- 12MP photo output (likely using pixel-binning technology)
- 48MP sensor
- f/1.7 aperture
- Optical image stabilization
While not explicitly mentioned in the database, it's anticipated that the device will retain the 10.8MP ultrawide and 10.8MP 5x telephoto cameras from its predecessor. However, rumors suggest a possible upgrade to the ultrawide sensor.
The front-facing camera is reported to be a 10MP sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, marking an improvement over the previous model's 9.5MP outer and 8MP inner selfie cameras.

What We're Still Waiting For
Despite these leaks, several aspects of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold remain unknown:
- Specifications for two of the expected five cameras

Looking Ahead
With Google's Made By Google event scheduled for August 13th, we can expect official confirmation of these details and potentially more surprises. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is set to launch alongside the standard Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. There's also speculation about the possible unveiling of a Pixel Watch 3 and updated Pixel Buds Pro.
As the foldable smartphone market continues to evolve, Google's latest offering will face stiff competition. The coming weeks should provide a clearer picture of how the Pixel 9 Pro Fold aims to stand out in this increasingly crowded space.
