Unlock Unmatched Innovation: Google’s Pixel Fold Continues to Impress Even After Successor’s Unveiling | Tech News
Google to Continue Selling Original Pixel Fold Despite Launch of Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Google has announced the continued sale of the original Pixel Fold, even after the unveiling of the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This announcement follows the Pixel 9 series launch earlier this week. Initially, the Google Store listed the Pixel Fold as "no longer available," sparking rumors of its discontinuation. However, Google confirmed the original Pixel Fold will return to market once the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is in stores on September 4.
Fans and prospective buyers now have another chance to purchase the innovative foldable device from early September. The company has not announced any price changes, but a potential $100 discount could make the older model more appealing to budget-conscious consumers.
At the Made by Google event in Mountain View, California, Google showcased the Pixel 9 series’ new features, including the powerful Tensor G4 processors and AI-driven functionalities. All devices in the Pixel 9 lineup come with significant memory upgrades to support new AI capabilities. Notable AI features include ‘Magic Editor’ for photo editing, ‘Add Me’ for enhanced group photos, and ‘Recall-Like Ability’ for on-device information retrieval from screenshots.
The event also introduced Google’s Gemini AI and a multimodal model called Gemini Nano, aimed at enhancing AI capabilities across Google’s product range. The Pixel 9 series includes Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, featuring refreshed designs and enhanced on-device AI performance.
The series marks Google’s first foldable phone’s debut in India, with prices starting at Rs 79,999 for the standard Pixel 9. Pre-orders begin August 14 via offline and online retailers. Additionally, Google unveiled the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2, which bolster the new AI functionalities.
Google’s overarching goal is to integrate AI across its devices, enhancing user productivity and creativity.
