You can't turn down Google's first-gen Pixel Fold at these phenomenal new prices!
Even though Google is getting ready to unveil its third-ever in-house foldable device, bargain hunters willing to give these types of phones a chance might want to consider the search giant's first Galaxy Z Fold alternative today. That's because the OG Pixel Fold is on sale at some remarkably low prices at Woot right now in both refurbished and brand-new condition, still delivering amazing value despite its advanced age... and outdated Google Tensor G2 processor. $1319 off (73%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, 7.6-Inch Primary Foldable OLED Display with 2208 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 5.8-Inch Cover OLED Screen with 2092 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 48 + 10.8 + 10.8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Inner Selfie Camera, 9.5MP Cover Shooter, 4,821mAh Battery, Obsidian Color, Grade A Refurbished, Practically New Condition, 1-Year Warranty Included Buy at Woot $1219 off (68%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, 7.6-Inch Primary Foldable OLED Display with 2208 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 5.8-Inch Cover OLED Screen with 2092 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 48 + 10.8 + 10.8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Inner Selfie Camera, 9.5MP Cover Shooter, 4,821mAh Battery, Obsidian Color, Brand-New Condition, 1-Year Warranty Included Buy at Woot 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, 7.6-Inch Primary Foldable OLED Display with 2208 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 5.8-Inch Cover OLED Screen with 2092 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 48 + 10.8 + 10.8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Inner Selfie Camera, 9.5MP Cover Shooter, 4,821mAh Battery, Obsidian Color, Renewed Buy at Amazon If you hurry, you can pay as little as $579.99 for a new, unused, unopened, and undamaged foldable with a 7.6-inch primary OLED screen and 5.8-inch cover display, which is an awesome deal no matter how you look at it. That's a "fully unlocked" Pixel Fold variant with 256GB internal storage space and a 1-year warranty included, mind you, and for $120 extra, you can bump up the local digital hoarding room to 512 gigs. Alternatively, you can go for a "grade A" refurbished unit with a 1-year warranty of its own at $479.99 and up, and don't worry, those ultra-affordable devices are said to be "practically new", working on all US carriers despite technically being " Verizon models" and offering top-shelf "quality and performance" after clearing all the necessary tests. $479.99, of course, will buy you a 256GB storage configuration, with 512 gig units costing $549.99... for a limited time. In contrast, the greatest Amazon deal available today has the former variant listed at $18 more in "renewed" condition with no clear warranty details in sight. So, yes, you should definitely think about picking up the Pixel Fold from Woot while you can if you're in the market for one of the best foldable devices with one of the lowest price points out there. Obviously, this bad boy is nowhere near as powerful or as overall impressive as Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6... which is why it's so much cheaper. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs Pixel Fold: Expected differences
Google is preparing to lift the curtain before its latest Pixel family – the Pixel 10 series. Along with all other non-foldable models, we expect the third generation of the Pixel Fold, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold . The name might be a little misleading, as Google rebranded the Fold last year and shuffled the Pro lineup to make room for the XL, but the really interesting comparison is the one with the original Pixel Fold . In this article we will try to see how far the foldable Pixel has come in the past couple of years. This comparison is preliminary at this point, as the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still under wraps, but we have enough information to get started. There are some exciting differences in all areas, including the main and cover displays, the processor inside and the camera system. Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs Google Pixel Fold expected differences: *rumored Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary When Google entered the foldable game, the company decided to go against the grain and offer a different design. The original Pixel Fold was wider and shorter than most of the foldables at the time, with a 5.8-inch cover screen and a squarish 7.6-inch inner phone was comfortable to work with both folded and unfolded, but the weight of nearly 300 grams made handling for extended periods tiring. The second generation changed things around and opted for a more Galaxy Fold-like aspect ratio and size, and we expect the same design to be present on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold . According to the latest info, we're expecting very similar dimensions to the previous generation, which, compared to the original Pixel Fold , would mean a narrower and taller device. When it comes to weight, the new phone is expected to come in at around 257 grammes – substantially lighter than the first generation. *rumored The building blocks of a modern smartphone haven't changed in the past couple of years, and the same goes for the Pixel Fold and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold . Both phones use aluminum and glass for their construction. The original Pixel Fold uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus over the cover screen, and we expect the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to upgrade this protection to Gorilla Glass Victus 2. When it comes to IP ratings, the Pixel Fold launched with IPX8 protection. We expect the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to upgrade that to a proper IP68 dust and water resistance. *rumored Color-wise, the Pixel Fold is available in just two hues – Porcelain and Obsidian, Google's take on the black and white colors. Latest leaks suggest that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might come in two exciting new colors in addition to the aforementioned Porcelain and Obsidian, and these are Sterling Grey and Green. Display Differences The original Pixel Fold launched with a very interesting aspect ratio that mandated different screen sizes (compared to the Galaxy Fold, for example). The phone featured a 7.6-inch main screen and a 5.8-inch cover screen. Google changed the approach with the next generation, and we expect this change to be present on the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold as well. The main screen is believed to be an 8-inch OLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,700 nits. In comparison, the main screen of the Pixel Fold is rated at 1,450 nits only. *rumored Regarding the cover screen, things are again different. Google is continuing with the 6.3-inch size from the last generation, and this time around it might be a tad brighter than its predecessor and also brighter than the cover screen of the original Pixel Fold . We're talking the same 2,700 nits of peak brightness as cited for the main display of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold . The cover screen of the original Pixel Fold was able to go up to 1,550 nits only. Both phones feature a 120 Hz display refresh rate across their main and cover screens. The Pixel Fold was launched in a separate window from the other Pixel phones, which is one of the main reasons the phone has a Tensor G2 processor on board. It's already two generations old, and by the time the Pixel 10 Pro Fold hits the shelves, the Pixel Fold 's G2 silicon will be aforementioned Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be an integral part of the Pixel 10 series, meaning it will get the latest Tensor G5 chipset, built using 3nm technology. This chipset is already promising because Google has moved from its partnership with Samsung and won't be using Exynos as a base architecture for its Tensor chips don't get your hopes too high. Latest rumors from industry insiders suggest that the Tensor G5 will have similar performance to its predecessor, the Tensor G4, the only difference being that it will now be manufactured by TSMC. We will run those two against each other when the Pixel 10 Pro Fold officially launches, but for early comparison purposes, the G2 managed 1483 and 3568 in Geekbench's single- and multicore tests, respectively, while the Tensor G4 inside the last-gen model scored 1962 and 4405 in the same tests. We expect a small step forward for the G5 but nothing major. In terms of RAM, the Pixel Fold has 12GB LPDDR5 on board, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to mimic the RAM of the previous generation; it will most likely come with 16GB of the same LPDDR5 RAM. The original Pixel Fold launched with a pretty potent camera system. It included three cameras on the back and two selfie cameras. The main camera uses a 48MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, coupled with a 10.8MP ultrawide camera, and the trio is completed by a 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. Google tweaked this system on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold but not by much, and we expect very similar hardware on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold . *rumored The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is rumored to get a similar camera system to its predecessor, including a 50MP primary camera with a Samsung GN8 sensor, a 10.5MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto with a 5X zoom. This system looks similar on paper not only to the last generation but also to the one found on the original Pixel Fold , but Google's software optimizations may result in higher image quality as post-processing algorithms and AI are all the rage nowadays in smartphone photography. We will include comparison samples once we lay our hands on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold . The original Pixel Fold launched with a pretty hefty battery (for a foldable). The two cells inside have a combined capacity of 4,821 mAh, which promises good battery life. Sadly, the Tensor G2 isn't the most efficient silicon out there, and the phone was only able to score 5h 23m, which grants it 118th place for phones tested in the past 2 years in our battery benchmark. Now, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to feature a smaller 4,650 mAh battery, but the 3 nm Tensor G5 chipset might actually help the phone score better than its granddad. We have to test the phone when it launches, so stay tuned for that. In terms of charging, we don't expect any difference, sadly, despite the recent developments in fast charging coming from China. The original Pixel Fold supports 21W wired charging and is able to fill its battery from zero to full in 1 hour and 39 minutes. Don't hold your breath for faster charging on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold . *rumored specs Even at this early stage it's plain to see that the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be the better phone compared to its granddad, the original Pixel Fold . There are little to no reasons to opt for the older mode, apart from nostalgia for the unique form factor. We expect the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to be faster, brighter and more capable at photography. It will also be supported much longer thanks to the seven years of major OS updates Google is offering on its flagships. So, if you want to get a taste of the foldable smartphone menu and lean toward Google's offerings, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the better choice. The same goes for all of you that want to upgrade from a Pixel Fold or other older foldable. We will update the comparison with some hard numbers, benchmarks and samples once the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is official.

The OG Google Pixel Fold is an absolute must-buy right now at this insanely low price
Very simply called the Pixel Fold , Google's rookie foldable effort is somehow more compelling than ever before right now. Yes, the two-year-old handset is a better deal at the time of this writing than its more convolutedly named Pixel 9 Pro Fold sequel, at least if you're quick and manage to get it from Woot while the Amazon-owned e-tailer has it in stock at $499.99. That's the normal price of a "conventional" mid-range Android phone like the Pixel 9a, and the first-of-a-kind Pixel Fold is most definitely not conventional... or a mid-ranger. Granted, its Tensor G2 processor is no longer the fastest Google-made silicon out there, but it's certainly impressive enough for five Benjamins. $1299 off (72%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, 7.6-Inch Primary Foldable OLED Display with 2208 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 5.8-Inch Cover OLED Screen with 2092 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 48 + 10.8 + 10.8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Inner Selfie Camera, 9.5MP Cover Shooter, 4,821mAh Battery, Obsidian Color, Grade A Refurbished, Practically New Condition, 1-Year Warranty Included Buy at Woot 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, 7.6-Inch Primary Foldable OLED Display with 2208 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 5.8-Inch Cover OLED Screen with 2092 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 48 + 10.8 + 10.8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Inner Selfie Camera, 9.5MP Cover Shooter, 4,821mAh Battery, Obsidian Color, Renewed Buy at Amazon Then you have the 7.6-inch primary OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate technology and the 120Hz-capable 5.8-inch secondary screen, which are clearly the biggest strengths and key selling points here, especially at the lower-than-ever aforementioned price. Unsurprisingly (at least for folks familiar with these types of bonkers Woot deals), your 500 bucks will not get you a brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged Google Pixel Fold unit right now. But the "grade A" refurbished devices on sale until Thursday (or while supplies last) are advertised as "practically new", having been "barely used" before reaching your hands and "fully tested for quality and performance." Perhaps most importantly, you will also get a full 1-year vendor warranty with your purchase, which should provide a pretty much unrivaled peace of mind for all bargain hunters looking to make the best possible foldable deal in 2025. Alternatively, you could spend an extra $50 for a "renewed" Pixel Fold on Amazon, but the e-commerce giant is not actually behind that promotion and the third-party seller handling it is unlikely to match Woot's 1-year warranty. Should you wait for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to go official in a few months before deciding what foldable device to buy? Probably not if you're on a tight budget, as that next-gen model is very likely to start at the same sky-high price as its predecessor, which is also unlikely to drop as low as $500 anytime soon... if ever.

Apple's first foldable iPhone to release soon: Check expected price, design and more
Apple is reportedly preparing to introduce its first foldable iPhone, with reports suggesting the device could arrive in 2027. For years, rumours have swirled around the idea of a foldable iPhone, and recent reports indicate that Apple is on the verge of making this vision a reality. Alongside the foldable iPhone, Apple is also reportedly working on a large 20-inch foldable iPad. However, the foldable iPhone is expected to be the first product to debut. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming foldable iPhone. The foldable iPhone is likely to feature a book-style design, similar to models like the Galaxy Z Fold and Pixel Fold. When unfolded, the phone will have a larger tablet-sized screen, while the outer display will be compact enough for everyday use. Industry sources suggest that the iPhone will come with a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display. The internal display will be crease-free to enhance the user experience. Some reports also mention a near 4:3 aspect ratio for the inner display, which is comparable to the design of older iPad mini models. Also read: iPhone 17 Pro may not come with anti-reflective display coating as Samsung- Details While the foldable iPhone will have premium hardware, some features may be absent due to the design constraints of a thin folding device. Notably, the device will not feature Face ID, as the thin structure limits internal space. Instead, Touch ID will return as a side button. Unfolded, the iPhone will measure 4.5mm in thickness, while the folded version will be 9mm thick, making it thinner than the 13-inch iPad Pro, according to 9to5Mac reports. The build quality of the foldable iPhone will be high, with the device is expected to incorporate a stainless steel and titanium alloy in the hinge and full titanium alloy for the casing. Despite the absence of Face ID, the overall durability and materials used in construction will ensure a premium feel.

However, experts predict that the market will slow down, with growth expected to dip to just 5 percent in 2024 and possibly experience a decline in 2025. The Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) report highlights that foldable smartphone sales have stagnated at approximately 22 million units annually. Still, experts believe that Apple's entry into the foldable market could rejuvenate interest and drive sales, especially among iPhone users who have been hesitant to switch to other foldable brands. Also read: Flipkart Big Savings Days Sale 2025: Save big on POCO X7 series, M7 series and more The foldable iPhone will likely be priced between $2,000 and $2,500, making it a premium product aimed at the high-end market. Mass production is expected to begin in late 2026, with the device potentially launching in 2027. In terms of production strategy, Apple is reportedly increasing its manufacturing capabilities in India. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman report, the company plans to ship all Made-in-India iPhones to the US to avoid higher tariffs on imports from China. However, sources suggest that the first foldable iPhone models will likely be produced in China, as Apple has historically maintained production of new designs in the country. In addition to the foldable iPhone, Apple is preparing for the release of its 20th-anniversary iPhone model, which is also expected to be manufactured in China. Despite Apple's efforts to ramp up production in India, it is unlikely that all iPhones sold in the US will be made in India by 2027. Mobile finder: iPhone 16 LATEST price, specs and all details
