Pixel 9 Pro Fold is sold out just days after release – is it already a huge success?

It's been less than a week since Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series at the Made by Google 2024 event, and this time it focused on some significant upgrades and changes. The tech giant took a different direction, not only with an earlier launch of the lineup, but also by launching four models instead of the usual three. While the star of the show continued to be the smartphone series, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold managed to grab most of the attention due to the massive improvements over the original model, and it was already quite a success, with the model completely sold out just days after release.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold a huge success as it is sold out just days after its launch

While the first-generation Pixel Fold marked Google's presence in the foldable smartphone industry, the model had some issues that needed to be addressed before its mass launch last year. Users were pleased to learn that the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold included all the necessary upgrades from the original model and introduced some new aspects that could lead to the phone being dubbed the best foldable phone of the year. The major changes were well received and were seen in the pre-order sales for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

It's been four days since the Pixel 9 Pro Fold was released, and the tech community is baffled as it was a huge hit and is already completely sold out on Google's online stores. Some retailers may still have stock in stock, but from what we're seeing, this one too could sell out quickly.

Users' excitement over the improved hardware and design can be seen in the sales figures of the model, especially the Porcelain Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which sold out just a day after Google officially unveiled it at the big event. The other color variant, Obsidian, is also not available for pre-order. The 256GB variant is shown as in stock, but when you try to place the order, you get the option to “be notified” when the item is back in stock, and we assume that this must be because the model is also out of stock.

If users choose to purchase the Pixel 9 Pro Fold from a third-party retailer, they will be out of luck at Best Buy as both the 256GB and 512GB variants are listed as coming soon. You might be able to get the Obsidian model and the 256GB variant on Amazon as the foldable device is shown as available and shipping from September 4. So, if you also want to buy the thinnest foldable smartphone yet, you can try your luck at the Amazon listing as there is no timeline as to when the Pixel 9 Pro Fold pre-orders will be back on the Google Store.
