Well, that was fast! The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google’s latest foray into the foldable phone market, officially opened for pre-orders on August 13, and it seems everyone and their grandma wanted one. If you were eyeing the sleek Porcelain color variant, you might be out of luck — at least if you’re shopping on the US Google Store. Just hours after its launch, the Porcelain model is already out of stock , a clear sign that Google’s foldable phone game is stronger than ever.

This rapid sell-out isn’t just a fluke; it’s a testament to how much buzz the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has generated. With its combination of cutting-edge tech and Google’s smooth software experience , it’s no wonder folks are snapping it up like hotcakes. But if you were hoping to grab one from Google’s official store, don’t fret just yet.

The other color option — Obsidian — is still available, and you might just find the Porcelain beauty through other retailers — if you’re quick on your feet. But let’s take a step back and marvel at the bigger picture here. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s popularity isn’t just about a single model flying off the shelves; it’s a sign that foldable phones are officially mainstream.

Remember when foldables were a niche gadget for the early adopters? Well, those days seem long gone. Google’s foldable phone lineup is now a hot ticket, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is leading the charge. For those of you who missed out on the Porcelain variant, don’t lose hope.
