Namely, a vertical line issue that runs from the top of the device to the bottom, or display flicker.<\/p>\n<p>Google has determined that a limited number of Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL devices may experience issues that affect functionality of the device.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Eligibility requires a vertical line on the display. It must run from bottom to top. Display flicker on Pixel 9 Pro devices also qualifies.<\/p>\n<p>The repair program covers devices for 3 years after the original retail purchase date (i.e. when the phone was purchased brand new). Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL owners can check if their device is eligible through <a href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/repair?hl=en-US\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google\u2019s website<\/a>. Devices with cracked displays and other damage may not be eligible.<\/p>\n<p>Further, Google <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/16737529#zippy=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has also announced <\/a>a separate \u201cExtended Warranty Program\u201d for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Google\u2019s stated reason for the program is that the company \u201chas determined that a limited number of Pixel 9 Pro Fold devices may experience issues that affect functionality of the device.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>Google has determined that a limited number of Pixel 9 Pro Fold devices may experience issues that affect functionality of the device.\u00a0Google offers an extended warranty program to provide support coverage for affected Pixel 9 Pro Fold devices for 3 years after the date of original retail purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Your Pixel 9 Pro Fold device may be eligible for this Extended Warranty Program if it exhibits issues that affect functionality of the device. If your phone is ineligible for the Extended Warranty Program, but you are experiencing other issues, your phone may still be covered under Google\u2019s Limited Warranty.<\/p>\n<p>The issue itself isn\u2019t clearly explained, but it also seems to be related to the display. The page goes on to explain that \u201ccracked displays or cover-glass may disqualify your device\u201d with other damage methods such as \u201cliquid intrusion\u201d also disqualifying a device. A <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/16737529#zippy=%2Ci-paid-for-a-screen-replacement-for-my-pixel-pro-fold-prior-to-december-what-should-i-do\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">later FAQ<\/a> is what most implies this is related to the display, as it relates to Pixel 9 Pro Fold owners who \u201cpaid for a screen replacement\u2026 prior to December 8, 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google says that if your Pixel 9 Pro Fold is impacted, \u201cyou may be eligible for a replacement at no charge.\u201d The extended warranty kicks in for \u201c3 years after the date of original retail purchase.\u201d The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL\u2019s program only promises a repair rather than a device replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Again, the page doesn\u2019t explain exactly what issue the Pixel 9 Pro Fold must be impacted by to be eligible. We\u2019ll update this post should Google offer more detail on what issue triggered this extended warranty for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.<\/p>\n<p>Like the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold owners can check to see if they are eligible <a href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/repair?hl=en-US\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">via Google\u2019s website<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"512\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pixel-9-pro-fold-obsidian-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-639447\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>More on Pixel:<\/p>\n<p>Follow Ben:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764374954_669_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764374954_276_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4pesEfH\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-696322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1765246689_659_750-x-150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"140\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google has today announced a repair program for the Pixel 9 Pro series around display issues, while also&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333623,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-333622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
