Some people like to stay on the cutting edge of technology. If that\u2019s you, you already know that Google is going to officially unveil its Pixel 10 phones<\/a> (including a new Fold) during its August 20th event<\/a>. But if you\u2019re someone who prefers to use these opportunities to save on last-gen tech, you\u2019ve been rewarded with a sweet deal on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold<\/strong>. The base 256GB version in obsidian (black) is down to $1,199 at Amazon<\/a> and Best Buy<\/a>, which is 33 percent off its original $1,799 price. It was selling for $100 more just last week.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold was a big leap forward compared to Google\u2019s first-gen foldable<\/a>, touting a lightweight design that looks and feels like a normal phone before you unfold it. One of its main drawbacks was that, despite its high original price, you don\u2019t get the same great cameras in the cheaper Pixel 9 Pro<\/a> (which, by the way, is only $599 at Best Buy<\/a>). They\u2019re still good, mind you, but reviewer Allison Johnson said during her testing that its telephoto lens produced softer images by comparison, and low-light photos were less detailed. Drawbacks aside, she was eager to recommend the foldable phone at its original $1,800 price.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is nearly upon us, and it\u2019ll likely deliver some sizeable improvements. Google itself has already shown off its design in YouTube clips<\/a>, and it\u2019s very similar to the model on sale now. However, there\u2019s a rumor that it might have an IP68 rating<\/a>, which would make it dustproof. Dust was the kryptonite for early foldable models<\/a>, but the tech has apparently come a long way since then, so this would be a huge selling point in favor of the new model if it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n
