Google just announced a revamp of its Pixel lineup at its Made By Google event, but already we are learning that we may not be able to find the Pixel on every carrier
A new report from CNET claims that network carrier AT&T will not offer the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold; Statista reports that outside of unlocked phones, this decision is said to have Google, the carrier appears to lock it out of reaching its 88 million mobile subscribers
A surprising omission by AT&T, given that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold may soon become one of the best folding phones AT&T currently offers the original Google Pixel Fold and has done so since its launch last year According to the product page on its website, AT&T will sell the rest of the Pixel lineup, including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL, as well as two new Pixel Watch 3 smartwatches
It is hard to say why AT&T will not be offering the Pixel 9 Pro Fold without a clear explanation from the company Our main guess is that the original Pixel Fold did not sell well enough for AT&T to consider offering a next-generation model
Tom's Guide contacted AT&T to ask for more details and whether AT&T would sell an unlocked Pixel 9 Pro Fold phone As of this writing, AT&T has not responded
The new version of Google's foldable phone is now more integrated into the main Pixel 9 lineup and features many of the same hardware and software features found in the Pixel 9 series This includes a new powerful Tensor G4 chip, integrated Gemini AI, and an ultra-thin design In a hands-on review of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Tom's Guide Global Editor Mark Spoonauer said, “I'm excited about everything Google has brought to the table with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold Not only is it the most improved foldable, but it may be the new foldable phone to beat” He stated
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will officially launch on September 4 starting at $1,799, and Verizon and T-Mobile appear ready to sell Google's new foldable phone
