Right now, Samsung will give you $500 for a Google Pixel 1 when buying the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Best Buy still can’t match those numbers, but almost $400 for the Pixel 6 Pro, or $200 for the now-defunct Pixel 5, are solid prices.

The original Pixel Fold was not that. Google's first folding phone launched in the middle of 2023, just weeks before the marketing blitz of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and a few months before the OnePlus Open became a surprise critical favorite to the end of the year.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is one of the best folding phones around. But before you buy it, here are five other phones you should consider first.

Google’s 2022 flagship smartphone will now be supported with Android and security updates until 2027. Previously, the company promised that the Pixel 7 series would receive Android updates for three years, ending in 2025. That has now been extended by a further two years.

All Google Pixel 9 series smartphones are on sale! You can save as little as $150, or up to $300. Come learn all about these.
