Pixel Fold price

The Google Pixel Fold will be starting at $1,799 for the 256GB variants. Its 512GB version will be available at $1,919. It is priced similarly to the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4. That will make this device one of the prime contenders for the foldable smartphone crown. Both Pixel Fold and Galaxy Fold 4 have their own advantages. For instance, the latter has a better overall display, but Google's phone has a better camera setup.

That said, one should reserve their opinions on Pixel Fold before detailed reviews on its camera, performance, battery life, and other factors come about. Soon fans will also get a closer seat to the Google Pixel Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 clash.
