One of the most common complaints about foldable phones is that they are just too expensive. With Black Friday upon us, there's never been a better time to save big on one of these beasts. For example, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, my current daily driver, is down to its lowest price ever!

Normally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold costs about $1,800, but that price has been slashed by $300, bringing it down to $1,499. While that's for the 256GB model, if you need more storage, you'll be able to save $300 on the 512GB version too!

✅Recommended if: You want one of the most complete foldable phone experiences while saving some money at the same time.

❌Skip this deal if: You want or need a bit more software flexibility in a foldable phone.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold takes a completely different approach compared to its predecessor. Google ditched the passport-style from the original Pixel Fold in favor of one that's a bit more intuitive.

It starts with the outer screen, which is the same size as the Pixel 9 Pro. This provides a more traditional smartphone experience while the phone is folded, which has been a sticking point for some.

When you unfold the phone, you're presented with a beautiful 8-inch Super Actua Flex display. Combined with the redesign, the inner screen makes for a more comfortable multi-tasking experience, as you can have a full-size app on either side of the screen.

Even if the Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn't the phone for you, it's not the only foldable phone on sale for Black Friday. We're also tracking deals for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and OnePlus Open, not to mention the variety of deals for flip phones like the Moto Razr Plus.
