John Prosser: The Pixel Fold should go on sale in June. The price will be on par with the Samsung Galaxy Fold4
Earlier, it was reported from several sources that Google will supplement the Pixel line with its version of a foldable smartphone called Pixel Fold. Apparently, this should happen already at Google I/O in early May, followed by the start of sales next month.
As 9to5Google writes with a reference to Jon Prosser, along with the announcement of the Pixel Fold, Google will start accepting pre-orders for the smartphone through the company’s store. On May 30, pre-orders will also begin in partner networks, and buyers will start receiving their gadgets in another month – on June 27.
As for the price, Mr. Prosser claims that it will be a whopping $1,799. This agrees with information from insider Steve Hemmerstoffer (OnLeaks), but there were also rumors with smaller price tags of $1300-1500.
It is worth noting that the biggest “star” of this category of foldable smartphones remains the Samsung Galaxy Fold4, the price of which in the USA is also $1,799. So it will be interesting to see how well the Pixel Fold can look next to such a competitor.
