Google has been circling around dropping the Pixel 9 price with surprise vouchers and enhanced trade-in prices in recent weeks. But the company has finally, officially, slashed the price of its flagship phone in an early Black Friday sale.

Amazon’s early Black Friday pricing on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is attractive given the device’s capabilities and its position as a flagship product in Google’s smartphone lineup. This deal allows consumers to experience the latest in foldable technology without paying the premium typically associated with such premium devices.

The genuine Pixel 9 Pro Fold main screen costs $1,199, which is the same price as a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max and is more expensive than the Pixel 9 Pro XL. With that being said, other components are available at a more reasonable price, like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's batteries.

The Google Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold are on sale. Come learn all about Google's early Black Friday offers.

Fixit now lists Pixel 9 Pro Fold repair parts, with the inner display replacement priced higher than a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max due to its complex design.

Foldable phones are expensive, primarily due to their folding display. This also makes them more expensive to repair, as a replacement screen can cost upwards of $500. If you own Google's second-gen foldable, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you might want to be even more careful with it, as its screen repair could cost you more than the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

A little over a year later, Google has brought forth a successor in the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. But despite being an excellent refinement in its own right, the OnePlus Open still carries plenty of weight as one of 2023's best foldables; boasting hardware and software to rival Google's latest Pixel Fold. So, which is better?

As expensive as they are, foldable phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 or the Pixel 9 Pro Fold require a little more care than a slab-style device. A normal phone can take heavier knocks, harder taps, and even withstand more scratches than a foldable simply because of the materials needed to make a foldable work.
