Pixel 9 Pro Fold Discount

Deals on last generation gear attract shoppers ahead of a new Pixel foldable release.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold Discount Ahead of Pixel 10 Fold Debut

Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold is on sale. The base 256GB Obsidian model is $1,199 at Amazon and Best Buy, a 33 percent drop from its original $1,799 price. The sale comes ahead of Google's August 20 event where the Pixel 10 family is expected to be unveiled. Reviewers noted the foldable’s light feel and familiar phone use before unfolding, but some camera performance drops remain relative to the Pixel 9 Pro in telephoto and low light.

Retailers are also pushing other weekend deals, including a $300 discount on Lenovo Legion Go S and a three for $30 offer on 4K Blu-rays. The Verge highlights these deals as part of a broader push to offer value while newer models loom. Rumors suggest the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could bring IP68 dust and water resistance, a feature that would address a common drawback for foldables and could influence early buyers.

The sale shows how price still drives interest in premium tech, even when a new model is near. It invites buyers to question the value of upgrades versus savings today. While the Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers a compelling form, camera gaps compared to newer Pixel devices matter for some users, and price alone may not close that gap.

If the IP68 durability rumor for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold proves true, it could shift decisions toward devices built to endure daily life. That kind of durability upgrade would help foldables shed one of their lingering weaknesses and push competitors to respond more quickly.
