Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: 

Design:  Since the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is yet to make its debut, we have to wait for the official specs to confirm its weight, sizes, and durability scores, and other aspects. However, based on leaked images and renders, the smartphone is expected to have an expanded cover display, resembling the OnePlus Open. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 retains a similar design as the predecessor, however, it is lighter as it weighs only 236 grams. The smartphone has also received an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. 

Display: According to leaks and rumours, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to feature a  6.3-inch cover display and an 8-inch main foldable display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Both are expected to retain an OLED display, for a better viewing experience. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 features a 6.3-inch cover and a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x main display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This year, Google has refined its display crease and it is barely noticeable, whereas, we are yet to see the crease for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

However, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a much more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset which supports on-device Galaxy AI and a faster performance core.
