Then again, the Pixel Fold was launched final June after being unveiled at Google I/O and it definitely matches within the class of an upcoming Pixel handset. A 4942mAh battery additionally is smart for the system since final yr’s first-gen mannequin got here with a battery capability of 4821mAh.

The Pixel 9 collection is not anticipated till October. In comparison with the 4575mAh battery within the Pixel 8, if the brand new cell is earmarked for the Pixel 9, it might have 8% extra capability.

Google did enhance the battery life on the Pixel 8 collection, but it surely must do extra on this space.
