Big news from Google! The tech giant is finally bringing its first foldable phone to Australia, and it’s set to launch on September 2. This marks a significant moment as the Pixel Fold makes its debut in the region, following its global launch last year.

The Pixel Fold: A New Contender in the Foldable Market

Google’s Pixel Fold stands out with its sleek design and innovative features. It boasts a large 8-inch internal display and a 6.3-inch external screen. Unlike Samsung’s foldables, Google’s Pixel Fold is wider, offering a fresh take on the foldable format. It also comes with a robust 48MP main rear camera and 5x optical zoom. Priced at $2699, it’s positioned just below Samsung’s foldable devices. You’ll be able to find it at major Australian retailers like JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, and Officeworks when it goes on sale.

Pixel Phones Get a Major Update

Alongside the Pixel Fold, Google is also rolling out three new Pixel phones: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The Pixel 9 features a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro model sports a massive 6.8-inch screen. The Pro XL takes things even further with an even bigger display.

The cameras on these phones are nothing short of impressive. The Pro models offer up to 10x optical zoom and are powered by Google’s Gemini AI, which enhances your photography with features like re-framing images, filling in gaps, and adding people to photos with the “Add Me” feature. Battery life is strong too, with the Pixel 9 and Pro models packing a 4700mAh battery, and the Pro XL pushing it to an impressive 5060mAh.

Long-Term Support and AI Innovations

In line with recent trends, Google is committing to seven years of operating system and security updates for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. This long-term support is a significant advantage for users. Plus, with Gemini AI integrated into these phones, Google is taking AI technology to new heights, particularly in photography.

Overall, Google’s latest announcements are a big deal for tech enthusiasts in Australia. With the Pixel Fold’s arrival and the upgraded Pixel phones, there’s a lot to look forward to in the world of Google’s mobile technology.
