Foldables are my secret infatuation and it’s no secret that I’m going to get one at a point in the near future. Is it going to be Pixel? The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, maybe?

Probably not, but I think the next book style foldable (the current one is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold) from Google is going to be well-received.
Never mind that I used to frown at it – and, generally speaking, I still can still see how the glass is half empty for this one… but there is something I’d like to talk about that will bring back (some) smiles on (some) faces.
It’s the thing that makes me and billions of people around the world kind of happy – money. Liras, pesos, dollars, rupees, rubles: you name it.
This Pixel 10 Pro Fold is reportedly going to be sold for less than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which – if true (and that’s a big if) – is great news, folks.
There are some downsides to this extremely rare phenomenon, so let’s dive deeper.
Google is all over the place when it comes to price consistency.
Back in 2019, Google released the immortal Pixel 3a (if you’re a fan of excellent mid-rangers, you should definitely check the brand-new Pixel 9a and see how much more advanced it is) for $399.
Next came the Pixel 4a (the second „a“-series phone in the Pixel family) for… $349. That’s right, the Big G lowered the price for the new model.
Then, Google went forward in reverse, shifting dramatically its pricing strategy.
The Pixel 7 (in its baseline RAM and storage option) arrived at $599, the Pixel 8 made our eyebrows raise at $699 and the current „vanilla“ flagship, the Pixel 9, starts at $799.
