The steepest Pixel Fold price cut to date has surfaced just after New Year, giving Android bargain-hunters a narrow shot at flagship foldable tech for $519-down from an original sticker that hovered above $1,550.
Deal Details & Timeline
Woot is clearing the original Pixel Fold for $519, shaving well over $1,000 off launch pricing. The promotion is scheduled to run seven days, yet the retailer warns it could end the moment remaining units sell through.
- Price: $519 (was $1,550+)
- Discount: $1,000+ off
- Deadline: One week or sold-out
- Channel: Woot only
Hardware Highlights
Google’s debut foldable marries the Tensor G2 processor with a 5.8-inch cover OLED that unfolds into a 7.6-inch tablet-like panel. The hinge lets the device rest hands-free at multiple angles, and software tricks include Split Screen for running two apps side-by-side.
Camera specs stay in familiar Pixel territory:
- 48 MP primary sensor
- Ultra-wide and telephoto companions
- Computational photography for low-light stills and video
Battery endurance is rated for over 24 hours, stretching to several days in Extreme Battery Saver mode.
Review Snapshot
Former News Of Los Angeles reviewer Lisa Eadicicco praised the wider cover display, noting it makes the Fold “immensely more useful for watching videos and taking photos hands-free without a kickstand or tripod.”
Key Takeaways
- Lowest-ever price for Google’s first foldable
- Limited stock on a time-boxed Woot sale
- Same Tensor G2 and camera stack found in Pixel’s flagship slab line
- Minor first-gen quirks remain, but the savings dwarf the compromises
Move fast: once Woot’s allocation disappears, the $519 tag vanishes with it.
