Thanks to 91Mobiles, we’re gaining more insight into the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Recently released official-looking product renders offer our best glimpse into the phone’s design.

The recently leaked images by tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) showcase the new foldable phone in Obsidian and Porcelain colors. The phone appears to have a wider aspect ratio than the original Google Pixel Fold, which this new phone is anticipated to replace. In addition, we expect the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a taller cover screen and a larger inner folding screen than its predecessor.

As we previously noted, Google has already revealed the name of its new foldable phone and released a teaser video showcasing it. The YouTube video is titled “Introducing the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold” and begins with a display of Google Gemini, implying that Gemini will be a significant feature of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Like an earlier Pixel 9 Pro teaser, the video displays a message on a fully opened device that reads “Oh hi, AI,” followed by the name of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and a reminder about its upcoming launch.

Once again, as previously reported, internal photos reveal that the inner selfie camera on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is now positioned in the top-right corner of the device, unlike the previous model where it was slightly off-center. The camera bar has been replaced with a rectangular module housing two pill-shaped camera lenses. Additional new details about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold include a slightly thinner bezel at the top and bottom of the inner display and a potential reduction in the visibility of the crease.

The Pixel 9 Fold Pro launch is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13. On that day, Google will unveil the regular Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Fold Pro, and likely the next-generation Pixel Watch 3.

Until then, we can probably expect a lot more rumors.

Just like how smartphones have settled into a familiar routine, smartwatches have also become quite predictable. But Nothing might be planning on shaking things up for wearables. A tipster claims the company is preparing its first smartwatch under the main Nothing brand. The unnamed wearable will reportedly launch in September, cost less than $300 in the US, and initially reach a limited number of markets.

Its design is also said to carry the “typical Nothing DNA” that has helped the company’s phones and audio gear stand apart. Right after this, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis joined the conversation with a separate, cryptic post. It adds some company-side smoke to the leak, although Nothing has yet to announce the watch or reveal any hardware details formally.

If you've set up a PIN on your Pixel Watch, you already know the prompt that shows up every time you slip it back on your wrist. It's a useful security measure, but entering a PIN on that small screen multiple times a day gets old fast. A new report suggests Google may be working on a way to let you skip it.

A new iPhone app can sniff out Meta smart glasses lurking nearby
Your iPhone can now keep an eye on the glasses keeping an eye on you

Android users got an unusual privacy tool earlier this year that could alert them when smart glasses were nearby. Five months later, iPhone owners finally have something similar, and its name makes its feelings about Meta pretty obvious.

AntiZuck is a $2.99 iPhone app that scans for Bluetooth signals associated with smart glasses and alerts you when it thinks one is close. It supports devices including Meta Ray-Bans, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, and RayNeo glasses, while the developer says additional hardware is being added.
