Check out the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s guts in iFixit’s latest teardown

Courtesy of iFixit, a new teardown video of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold reveals what the repairability advocate organization’s 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 notes in the video that Google is offering 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. The repair experts were also able to pull off the outside screen and back cover using only prying tools — no heat gun required.

The only criticism iFixit has is that the 4.68Wh and 13.4Wh batteries were impossible to remove using the pull tabs under them. Mokhtari also noted he couldn’t remove the folding screen without destroying it.

Aside from including this nice rotating GIF of the phone, iFixit’s blog post contains a zoomable, rotatable interactive scan of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold for maximum techno-peeping. Just scroll to the bottom to find that.
