Thanks to a delay, you won’t get your Pixel Fold until July

Google finally unveiled its Pixel Fold, and people are all eager to get their hands on the device. The pre-order period is over and people are waiting for their items to ship. However, it seems that the Pixel Fold is going through a delay- a BIG delay. This is pushing the shipping date into July.

In case you don’t know, Google unveiled the Pixel Fold during Google I/O this year, and it seems like it’s going to be a fun device. Even at its high price tag of $1,799, the device was able to wrack up some serious pre-orders.

But, a delay is pushing the Pixel Fold shipping date back

If you pre-ordered the Pixel Fold, then you should expect to see your phone arrive in less than two weeks. Well, that was originally the plan. People saw shipping dates around June 26th. But, people are looking at their shipping information to see that it’s changed.

According to 9To5Google, people who ordered the phone on day one received shipping dates between June 26th – June 27. However, at the beginning of this week, they saw that their shipping dates were moved to between June 28th – July 7th. We’re not sure that this happened to everyone, but there are multiple cases.

Now, it seems that the date slipped even further to between July 5th – July 10th. That’s a full two weeks behind the original date.

Things are even worse for people who ordered their phones later. If you ordered your phone at a later date, you were looking at dates between July 3rd – July 7th for the 256GB variant in the Obsidian color. That was moved to between July 19th – July 27th.

If you’re looking at getting a Porcelain color, you may as well get comfy. This one is not slated to start shipping until sometime between August 2nd – August 10th. Lastly, getting a black colorway with 512GB of storage, you’ll be waiting to between August 16th – August 24th. That’s two months and two weeks away!

This could spell a “Galaxy” of trouble for the Pixel Fold

Launching the Pixel Fold at this time wouldn’t have been much of a problem if the phones would ship at a decent time. However, people aren’t going to get their devices until July or later. Well, what else is happening in July? Galaxy Unpacked – AKA when Samsung unveils the latest Galaxy Z Fold.

Let’s, not mince words, the Pixel Fold didn’t have a chance of beating the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but there wouldn’t be any point in launching the Pixel Fold before the Galaxy if it’s going to be delayed for months. Let’s just hope that something happens between now and then that speeds up the process.
