Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold sales in India begin on this date: Check deals

Google must have raised a few eyebrows by launching not two, but four Pixel smartphones in India this year. While Google normally launches its Pro smartphone models later, followed by its A-series, the company has set up an all-you-can-eat buffet this year. It includes not just its smartphones, but also the Pixel Watch 3 series and the Pixel Buds Pro 2 TWS earphones. While all these products have been announced with their official price tags, only two of them are actually available for purchase. Google seems to have handpicked the Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro XL as the first phones to go on sale on Flipkart and while we don’t have any news on the availability of the Pixel 9 Pro, we do now know about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

A microsite for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold on the Flipkart mobile app has revealed that the foldable phone will go on sale in India from September 4 at 12:00 PM (PT). The page, which cannot be accessed on a desktop browser, also shows some related offers, with the phone’s effective price pegged at Rs. 1,49,499 or Rs. 12,459 per month (on EMI) after bank offers and discounts. Meanwhile, Croma has also listed the Fold on its website.

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold release date as mentioned on Flipkart

At this point, it is unclear when customers (who purchase the foldable version from Flipkart) will receive their new foldable version. It is not known whether customers who want to buy the foldable version will have to place an order and it will be shipped at a later date when it is available or if the foldable version will be delivered immediately within a day or two. Google’s Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL have been available for purchase since August 22.

For those who have been waiting for the Google-branded foldable phone to launch in India, it’s time to get those wallets ready as the phone Out of stock in some countries for a few weeks and only came back in stock in all color options a few days ago. However, the phone was available in a variety of storage and color options in those markets.

For buyers in India, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold will only be available in the Obsidian finish and with 256GB of storage, which seems a bit less for a phone that costs over Rs 1.7 lakh. However, as with the Pixel 9 Pro XL, we expect Google to bundle 2TB of Google One’s Gemini Advanced plan, which comes free for a year. But there’s no such plan available for the standard Google Pixel 9 model.
