With the Pixel 10 series right around the corner, Google is doing the expected: slashing the price of last year’s Pixel 9 lineup. We’ve already seen the mid-range Pixel 9a plummet to its lowest price yet, and now the top-of-the-line Pixel 9 Pro Fold is also joining the party with a massive price cut.
The unlocked Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is currently down to just $1,300 at Amazon and Best Buy, marking a new all-time low. That’s a flat $500 off its usual $1,800 price, the lowest we’ve seen for Google’s foldable to date. Given the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is reportedly delayed and isn’t expected to bring major improvements, this is an excellent opportunity to snag this superb foldable at its best price yet.
At $1,300, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is money well spent, especially if this is your very first foray into the foldable world. Its 8-inch interior display is among the biggest and brightest in the foldable category, reaching an impressive 2,684 nits (APL 18) in our testing. The form factor is a big improvement over the original Pixel Fold, and the taller aspect ratio means the device feels more like a normal smartphone when using the outer display. You also get a versatile triple camera system—featuring a 48MP main shooter, a 10.5MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens—on the back that produces excellent photos in daylight, but as is common with most foldables, you’ll have to put up with less-than-stellar low-light performance. Battery life is solid, and Google’s in-house Tensor G4 chipset, paired with 16GB of RAM, makes for smooth everyday performance. All of this is backed by Google’s seven-year software support promise.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold also comes with a bunch of exclusive features like Dual Screen Preview, which shows the camera feed on both the inner and outer displays so your subject can adjust their pose before you snap the shot, and Dual Screen on Meet, which lets you use all cameras and screens during a Google Meet call, showing the caller on the outer screen so others around you can see them too and take part.
