The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is the foldable we’ve been waiting for

The first Pixel Fold (left) and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold (right). The highest compliment I can pay the Pixel 9 Pro F - oh forget it, let's just call it the Pixel Fold - is that I forgot I was using a folding phone while I was using it.
Sounds like a weird compliment, right? Isn't the whole point of the thing that it opens up so you can use the big inner screen? Well, kind of. The whole promise of the foldable phone is that it's basically a small tablet when you need more screen real estate and a regular phone when you fold it back up. Every foldable I've used delivered on the first part of that promise. Big screen? We did it, Joe. It's the small-screen experience that hasn't been great.
I was using the phone's outer screen before bed, drowsily answering the minimum amount of Duolingo questions...
