Well, that was fast! The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google’s latest foray into the foldable phone market, officially opened for pre-orders on August 13, and it seems everyone and their grandma wanted one. If you were eyeing the sleek Porcelain color variant, you might be out of luck — at least if you’re shopping on the US Google Store. Just hours after its launch, the Porcelain model is already out of stock, a clear sign that Google’s foldable phone game is stronger than ever.

This rapid sell-out isn’t just a fluke; it’s a testament to how much buzz the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has generated. With its combination of cutting-edge tech and Google’s smooth software experience, it’s no wonder folks are snapping it up like hotcakes. But if you were hoping to grab one from Google’s official store, don’t fret just yet. The other color option — Obsidian — is still available, and you might just find the Porcelain beauty through other retailers — if you’re quick on your feet.

But let’s take a step back and marvel at the bigger picture here. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s popularity isn’t just about a single model flying off the shelves; it’s a sign that foldable phones are officially mainstream. Remember when foldables were a niche gadget for the early adopters? Well, those days seem long gone. Google’s foldable phone lineup is now a hot ticket, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is leading the charge.

For those of you who missed out on the Porcelain variant, don’t lose hope. Keep your eyes on other outlets, and who knows, you might just get lucky. We also expect this finish to be restocked sooner than later. In the meantime, the other Pixel 9 models are still up for grabs, so there’s plenty of Pixel goodness to go around.
