The company offered a sneak peek at the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It features the familiar visor with double-stacked camera modules on the back. Also, the hinge and the exterior frame around the edges look more refined compared to the predecessor Pixel Fold.

Also, this sesnor helps the phone to map the surroundings around the phone to run Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality games and applications.
