Courtesy of iFixit, a new teardown video of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold shows what the organization’s repair advocate Shahram Mokhtari says is “the most exciting foldable we’ve seen on the iFixit teardown table. ”
iFixit offers very clear shots of the phone’s internals in the video and its accompanying blog post, along with some very detailed Lumafield CT scans of the foldable. Mokhtari said in the video that Google offers official repair guides and replacement parts for the phone.
iFixit found impressive modularity in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, including easily removable wearable parts like the USB-C port and SIM card tray, and the site praised the use of 3IP screws throughout. Repair experts were also able to remove the outer screen and the back cover using only prying tools — no heat gun required.
The only criticism iFixit makes is that the 4.68Wh and 13.4Wh batteries are impossible to remove using the pull tabs underneath them. Mokhtari also mentioned that he couldn’t remove the folding screen without breaking it.
