The Pixel Fold price is once again being talked about in the leadup to Google’s annual I/O conference in May, where the device is suspected to be officially unveiled.
In a recent rumor the price was said to be $1,799. A new report from CNBC (spotted by 9To5Google), says the Pixel Fold price will be upwards of $1,700. Google will also reportedly offer trade-in discounts, plus a free Pixel Watch to buyers. This likely means the price rumored from yesterday is either close to the launch cost, or right on the money. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 launched at $1,799 without any trade-in offers. So it sounds like Google is going to price its foldable around the same amount.
Alongside the price, the report (which cites internal communications), mention several other key details about Google’s foldable phone. It’s said to have the “most durable hinge of any foldable.” The device will also offer some level of water resistance, likely similar to what Samsung offers on the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Battery life will apparently last for up to 24 hours with regular use. Though a low-power mode could push that out to 72 hours if needed. The device is also said to be powered by the Tensor G2 and weigh about 283 grams.
The Pixel Fold price seems to be comparable to similar offerings
Google of course hasn’t confirmed any details of this phone yet. But price is surely going to be one of the key details consumers are interested in. Given the price tags of foldables aren’t cheap.
With yesterday’s rumor noting a specific price of $1,799 and today’s leak suggesting over $1,700, it seems quite likely Google is pricing the Pixel Fold to match Samsung. Hoping to perhaps capitalize on the fact that it may offer a more durable hinge than competitors.
In addition to the Pixel Fold, Google is also expected to unveil its much more budget-friendly phone, the Pixel 7a, as well as the Pixel Tablet at Google I/O next month.
