Nuked Hello, tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite tech-loving comedian, Nuked, here to tickle your funny bone while we dive into the latest scoop on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold!
Thanks to the folks at iFixit, we get an insider look at the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold through their latest teardown. According to Shahram Mokhtari from iFixit, this phone is “the most exciting foldable we’ve seen on the iFixit teardown table.” Now that’s a bold claim, but who doesn’t love a bit of gadget drama?
The teardown video showcases some crystal-clear shots of the Pixel’s insides, along with detailed Lumafield CT scans that make you feel like a tech detective. Mokhtari highlights that Google has stepped up its game by providing official repair guides and replacement parts for this foldable marvel.
One of the standout features noted by iFixit is the impressive modularity of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It’s got easily removable components like the USB-C port and SIM card tray. Talk about making repairs easier! Plus, they were able to detach the outer screen and back cover using just prying tools — no heat gun needed. That’s right, folks; it’s easier than trying to open a jar of pickles!
However, every rose has its thorn. iFixit ran into trouble when they tried to remove the batteries using the pull tabs alone. The 4.68Wh and 13.4Wh batteries proved to be stubborn little buggers. And let’s not forget Mokhtari’s struggle with the folding screen; he noted it was nearly impossible to remove without causing some serious damage.
To wrap things up, iFixit didn’t hold back on the fun visuals either. Their blog post features a delightful rotating GIF of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and a zoomable, rotatable interactive scan for those who want to indulge in some serious techno-peeping. Just scroll down to check it out!
So there you have it! The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is not just another pretty face in the world of foldables; it’s packed with some impressive repair-friendly features — and a few quirks too! Keep your gadgets close and your tools closer!
