Google on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold:
Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a fluid-friction hinge that easily opens fully flat with a satisfying snap so you can enjoy the big, bright Super Actua Flex display. It’s 80% brighter than Pixel Fold, so you’ll be able to see your screen clearly even when it’s bright outside. And Pixel 9 Pro Fold features scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and boasts an IPX8 rating for water resistance of up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes of submersion.
