Alphabet-owned Google on Friday announced that its upcoming foldable smartphone Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be launched in India. It will be for the first time that Google is bringing its foldable to India which it skipped last year with its first-ever foldable phone, Pixel Fold.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be launched on August 14 in India.
It is going to be a part of Pixel 9 series launch which is likely to bring Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL along with the foldable phone. They will be launched on August 13 for global markets.
With the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the U.S. based search engine giant will be competing against established players like Samsung in the foldable space with devices like Galaxy Z Fold 6, and simultaneously with new entrants like Vivo, apart from OnePlus and Tecno.
