Google Pixel 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold

Google Pixel 9 Pro

A genuine improvement over the Pixel 8 Pro, with most reviewers getting through a full day comfortably.

• Easily lasts a full day of heavy use, a marked improvement over the inconsistent battery life of the Pixel 8 Pro.
• Charging speed at 27W remains frustratingly slow compared to OnePlus and Samsung's faster options.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold

The 5,600mAh battery is the largest Samsung has ever put in a phone, and it needs to be — powering a 10-inch display is demanding. Most reviewers report adequate but not exceptional battery life.

• 5,600mAh battery manages a full day for most users, even with regular use of the unfolded display
• Using primarily the front screen extends battery life significantly — smart usage habits are rewarded
• Extended tablet-mode sessions can drain the battery rapidly — the 10-inch display is power-hungry
