Google to Keep Pixel Fold Available Despite Pixel 9 Series Launch

Google will continue selling the original Pixel Fold even after the launch of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Initially marked as unavailable, the Pixel Fold will return to the market after September 4. Google highlighted new AI features and devices at its annual event, advancing its AI integration across products.

In a strategic move, Google has decided to continue offering the original Pixel Fold for sale, following the recent unveiling of its successor, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This announcement comes shortly after the official introduction of the Pixel 9 series, which includes the latest foldable device.

Initially, the Google Store marked the Pixel Fold as 'no longer available' after the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's announcement, sparking speculation about its discontinuation. However, Google clarified that the Pixel Fold would return to the market after the new models hit stores on September 4. Enthusiasts and potential buyers who missed out on the original foldable can look forward to its reavailability in early September.

At the ninth annual Made by Google event, held on August 13 in Mountain View, California, Google highlighted its commitment to integrating AI across its products. The event introduced the Pixel 9 series, new AI-driven features, and enhanced hardware, underscoring the company's vision for AI to enhance everyday life.
