Google to continue selling original Pixel Fold

Tech giant Google has announced that it will continue to offer the original Pixel Fold for sale, even with the recent unveiling of its successor, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

According to GSM Arena, this decision comes after the Pixel 9 family, including the new foldable device, was officially introduced earlier this week.

Initially, the Google Store marked the Pixel Fold as “no longer available” following the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s announcement, leading to speculation that the original foldable might be discontinued.

However, Google has since clarified that the Pixel Fold will indeed return to the market after the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold hits stores on September 4.

For those who missed out on the original Pixel Fold before its brief disappearance, this news is likely to be a welcome relief.

According to GSM Arena, the device is set to be available again starting in early September, providing another opportunity for enthusiasts and potential buyers to get their hands on the innovative foldable phone.

While Google has yet to confirm any price adjustments for the Pixel Fold, it’s possible that the company might introduce a discount in line with industry practices.

A reduction of around USD 100 could be on the horizon, as per GSM Area.

This movie may make the older model more appealing to cost-conscious consumers, though it may not significantly impact overall sales.

Google showcased its latest advancements in artificial intelligence and hardware at the ninth annual Made by Google event.

Held on August 13 in Mountain View, California, the event highlighted the tech giant’s commitment to integrating AI across its product ecosystem, from smartphones to wearables, and revealed the new Pixel 9 series alongside other innovations, according to The Verge.
