Check out the inner workings of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold in iFixit's latest teardown

Courtesy of iFixit, a new teardown video of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold shows what the repairability organization's Shahram Mokhtari calls “the most exciting foldable device we've seen on iFixit's teardown table.”

iFixit offers very clear shots of the phone's internals in the video and accompanying blog post, as well as some very detailed Lumafield CT scans of the foldable device. Mokhtari points out in the video that Google offers official repair guides and replacement parts for the phone.

iFixit found the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's modularity impressive, including easily removable wear parts like the USB-C port and SIM card tray, and the site praised the use of 3IP screws throughout. The repair experts were also able to pull off the outer screen and back cover using only pry tools—no heat gun required.

iFixit's only criticism is that the 4.68 Wh and 13.4 Wh batteries weren't removable using the tabs underneath. Mokhtari also noted that he couldn't remove the flip screen without destroying it.
