AT&T won’t sell Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold


Earlier today Google finally made the Pixel 9 family official, including the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. If the company’s second ever foldable smartphone caught your attention, we have some bad news for you if AT&T is your carrier of choice.

For whatever reason, AT&T has decided not to sell the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. That’s despite the fact that it’s offered its predecessor, the original Pixel Fold, and will also have all the other Pixel 9 devices ready for its customers.

The carrier hasn’t detailed the reasoning behind its rather baffling decision, unfortunately. Its stance does have the potential to affect Google’s sales of the foldable in the US, since AT&T has almost 72 million postpaid subscribers and people in the US are most used to buying their new devices from their carriers.

If you don’t mind buying your Pixel 9 Pro Fold elsewhere in unlocked form, you probably will be able to use it on AT&T, but keep in mind that as of now the carrier hasn’t confirmed that it will certify the device for use on its network, so the situation is still iffy.

The good news (at least if you’re not an AT&T customer) is that both Verizon and T-Mobile are going to be selling Google’s new foldable. It will become available on September 4 starting at $1,799.
