Google’s just dropped its new Pixel 9 lineup, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is stealing the spotlight. If you’re in the UK and eyeing this foldable beast, listen up – there are some sweet deals on the table, but you’ve got to act fast. These pre-order specials are only hanging around until September 5, 2024.
First up, let’s talk storage. Google’s not slashing the price outright, but they’re giving you more bang for your buck. Fancy the 512GB model? It’ll set you back £1,749 ($2,301) – the same price as the 256GB version. It’s like getting double the storage for free. Neat, right? Just don’t hold your breath for a 1TB option – it’s not in the cards this time.
Now, if you’ve got an old phone gathering dust, Google’s trade-in offer might perk you up. They’re dangling discounts of up to £835 ($1,099) off the list price. Here’s how it breaks down: you can get up to £535 ($704) for your old device, and Google’s throwing in an extra £300 ($395) on top. But don’t get too excited – you’ll need a top-tier phone like the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB to hit that maximum discount.
Oh, and there’s a cheeky little surprise hiding in Google’s online store. If you’re in the market for a smartwatch too, you can snag the Pixel Watch 3 for 40% off when you bundle it with your new foldable. That’s a cool £200 off the wearable.
But let’s be real – the Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn’t just about the hardware. Google’s going all-in on AI with this one. They’ve baked in their Gemini AI throughout the phone’s software. As a bonus, you’ll get a year’s access to Gemini Advanced for stuff like Gmail and Google Docs.
These offers are pretty much on par with what Samsung’s been doing for their Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. It’s clear Google’s gunning for the consumer market, but don’t forget – the Pixel line is also Google’s way of showing off where they think smartphones should be heading. Remember how they pushed the “first AI-smartphones” angle with the Pixel 8 series last year? Yeah, now everyone’s jumped on that bandwagon.
So, if you’re itching to get your hands on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, these deals might just sweeten the pot. Just don’t drag your feet – the clock’s ticking on these pre-order specials.
