Google has finally unveiled the much-awaited details of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel 9 Pro. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Google posted the official poster of the upcoming flagship smartphones. The teaser highlights the integration of its AI, Gemini, in these devices and showcases the back panel design.

Google also announced that the official launch event will take place on August 13 at 10 AM PT (10:30 PM in India). While the teaser provides some insights, further information about the upcoming smartphones remains under wraps. However, several rumors and leaks have been circulating online.

The official teaser reveals a stunning design featuring dual-pill-shaped camera cutouts. These cameras are housed on a rectangular island in the top-left corner of the rear panel.

Although the teaser doesn't disclose the inner screen's camera, rumors suggest the phone will have a punch-hole camera on the left side of the screen, an upgrade from the first fold's bezel-mounted camera, thanks to the reduced bezel size.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, succeeding the original Pixel Fold, is expected to be available in Obsidian and Porcelain color options. The anticipated pricing for this foldable device is EUR 1,899 (approximately Rs 1,68,900) for the 256 GB model and EUR 2,029 (approximately Rs 1,80,500) for the 512 GB model.
