With prices starting at $1,799, the Pixel Pro 9 Fold is one of the most expensive smartphones on the market. iFixit’s inner screen replacement for last year’s Pixel Fold was also costly at $899, but this is still an alarming jump for the latest model.

If you paid for a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you bought an expensive phone. If you break it, it's also going to cost a lot.

Foldable phones are expensive, primarily due to their folding display. This also makes them more expensive to repair, as a replacement screen can cost upwards of $500. If you own Google's second-gen foldable, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you might want to be even more careful with it, as its screen repair could cost you more than the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 arrived earlier today as a Generic System Image. Builds are now out for Pixel devices, from the Pixel 6 up to present. Installing one will register your device with the Beta for Pixel program.

Google highlighted the start of Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 to Pixel testers on Reddit. The update contains the November security patch and a list of known issues users may encounter. The QPR2 update is expected to arrive as the March 2025 feature drop while we brace for a much earlier Android 16 launch.
