Earlier, it was reported from several sources that Google will supplement the Pixel line with its version of a foldable smartphone called Pixel Fold. Apparently, this should happen already at Google I/O in early May, followed by the start of sales next month.
As 9to5Google writes with a reference to Jon Prosser, along with the announcement of the Pixel Fold, Google will start accepting pre-orders for the smartphone through the company's store. On May 30, pre-orders will also begin in partner networks, and buyers will start receiving their gadgets in another month - on June 27.

As for the price, Mr. Prosser claims that it will be a whopping $1,799. This agrees with information from insider Steve Hemmerstoffer (OnLeaks), but there were also rumors with smaller price tags of $1300-1500.
It is worth noting that the biggest "star" of this category of foldable smartphones remains the Samsung Galaxy Fold4, the price of which in the USA is also $1,799. So it will be interesting to see how well the Pixel Fold can look next to such a competitor.
