Foldable phones are the cutting edge of phone design, and Google appears to be introducing a major productivity change to the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold to take advantage of this design

Google Meet for video calling is constantly evolving with new features, but can be limited when there is more than one person in the room We've all had to crowd around a single laptop or smartphone for a meeting or group call with friends But with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google has announced a new way to use Google Meet Specifically, first in a work setting, but it could eventually be applied to calls with friends and family Currently, the changes are being rolled out for anyone with a business or Google Workspace account

Android Authority reports that it will be possible to separate the inner and front-facing cameras and create a dual feed That is, one person could be seated on one side of the table and themselves on the other side, allowing them to see both in a single call from the same device In other words, by having a person sit on one side of the table and yourself on the other side, you can see both faces in one call from the same device

There are other advantages to using Google Meet on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, mainly in the phone's camera options: the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a 48MP main camera and a 105MP ultrawide, but for our purposes, it has two 10MP inner camera and a front camera; 10MP may not seem like a lot, but it will still provide clear images The front camera has a wide 87-degree field of view and can easily capture the entire conference room, so there's no need to share the inner camera with anyone

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold has many advantages, most of which should entice users to buy Most obvious is the improved design, which has evolved from the previous Google Pixel Fold and even competes with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 The only real downside we found in our review was the relatively lackluster Tensor G4 performance, which underperformed when compared to other chip options, including the iPhone 16's secret weapon, the A18 chip

The best folding phones is an ever-changing list at this point, and is certainly where most of the big changes in hardware are happening, including triple-folding phones But what really matters is how the device takes advantage of these changes, and it is good to see Google experimenting with ways to make the most of the design
