Google's PixelFold is reportedly eyeing a mid-year release, and it could undercut the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 by as much as $500 upon its launch.
Google’s long-in-development foldable phone — the Pixel Fold — is reportedly eyeing a late June launch. A recent leak predicted that the Pixel Fold will hit the European shelves priced at 1,700 Euros, which equates to roughly $1,800 based on current conversion rates. That’s not easy to digest, especially for a first-gen foldable phone and considering Google’s own shaky history with its Pixel hardware and software.
In fact, such an asking price would put the Pixel Fold in roughly the same ballpark as the higher storage configurations of phones like the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro Max. Of course, Google won’t be able to match the asking price of foldables from Chinese brands, but it would at least look competitive in the Western markets.
A price that makes practical sense Pushing the Pixel Fold in roughly the same price bracket as a mainstream no-compromise flagship phone would give the Google phone some reasonable edge with its foldable appeal. Plus, it’s worth considering that the Pixel Fold isn’t offering anything unique or industry-first with its hardware that could demand a price tag more handsome than Samsung’s own.
Rumors suggest that the Pixel Fold would be based on the second-gen Tensor chip, the same as the Pixel 7 duo. Unfortunately, this particular chip will be outdated within a few months as the third-gen Tensor chip based on the 3nm fabrication process will arrive on the shelves with the Pixel 8 series phones later this year.
