Google is gearing up for some exciting months ahead. The brand has already been teasing the launch of Pixel 8a during I/O 2024. Other than the annual Pixel 9 Series that will launch in October, Google is also planning to launch a new foldable device with a changed name.
It might reset the fan’s perceptions by skipping on Google Pixel Fold 2 and renaming it as the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to become a member of the Pixel 9 Series and launch during the annual hardware reveal event in October 2024.

This time the Google Pixel 9 Series is expected to include not two but four devices- Google Pixel 9, Google Pixel 9 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and Google Pixel Pro 9 XL. The Pixel 9 Pro is expected to be a smaller size, which will be similar to the Pixel 9 but with some spec upgrades to make it Pro. All four devices will be powered by Tensor G4 chipset.

Reports claim that this transition from Pixel Fold 2 to Pixel Fold 9 Pro happened recently during the internal Google Communications meeting. A report by Android Authority claims that Google has reorganized its naming strategy for Pixel devices in the following way-
- Pixel 9 has been codenamed “tokay”
- Pixel 9 Pro has been codenamed “caiman”
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold has been codenamed “comet”
- Pixel 9 Pro XL has been codenamed “Komodo”

The names have been validated by certain softwares that have been made for Google devices. Earlier Pixel Fold 2 was codenamed “comet” which has now been assigned to “Pixel 9 Pro Fold”. While nothing is concrete as of now things might change before launch, but if Google does go ahead with this naming, it would mean a complete departure from the first-generation Pixel Fold.
