Android gets a handy new split-screen mode just in time for the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Estimated read time 3 min read


Google has already set August 13, 2024, as the date it intends to show off new hardware, software, and likely many AI features. Now, though, a fresh report is giving us a better idea of some of the new devices’ capabilities. 

While we’re fully expecting the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro and a third-generation Pixel Watch, Google could also be getting ready to show off its next-generation foldable – aka a successor to the Pixel Fold

Android Authority reports that the next foldable – likely called the Pixel 9 Pro Fold – will get some new split-screen functionality. So, if you’re using the device in a portrait orientation, you can easily split the screen and run two apps side-by-side, left to right.

The discovery was made in the Android 14 QPR2 release, which has code for this functionality specific to “portrait foldable.” Considering the next Pixel Fold is expected to have a square aspect ratio, this lines up pretty well, and Android Authority is also giving us a scoop here. The report notes that the main screen on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will likely be 2076 x 2152, as the code notes this as the default resolution for the portrait orientation.
