In a move that was expected , Google has decided to discontinue the original Pixel Fold model and stop selling the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro , all in preparation for the launch of the Pixel 9 series . The original Pixel Fold is no longer available for purchase , with the direct link now redirecting to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold . This decision is significant as Google typically kept selling previous generations at reduced prices in the past.
AT&T has confirmed that it will not be offering the latest Google Pixel Fold , the Pixel 9 Pro Fold , to its customers . This decision could hinder Google 's efforts to reach a vast number of AT&T subscribers , as the carrier disclosed nearly 72 million postpaid phone users in its second - quarter earnings report . While purchasing devices directly from manufacturers is common in other countries , many US customers prefer buying new devices from carriers to take advantage of promotions and upgrade deals.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold , the successor to last year 's Pixel Fold , boasts several improvements and features from Google 's Pixel 9 series . Equipped with the latest Tensor G4 processor with 16 GB of RAM , the new foldable device integrates Google 's AI - focused functionalities . Notably , it is lighter than its predecessor , with an expanded front cover screen of 6.3 inches and an inside display of 8 inches . While AT&T has opted out of selling the Pixel 9 Pro Fold , other carriers like Verizon and T - Mobile will offer the device , starting at , 799 and hitting the market on September 4.
