Yeah, snagging a deal is the goal, but tbh I’m more worried about the technical fitment issues that usually crop up with new Google hardware. Since they tend to tweak the chassis dimensions and the hinge radius every year, compatibility with high-end accessories is always a gamble. Before you commit, I’ve got a couple of questions to see if it'll actually fit your needs:
1. Are you planning on using this with any specialized hardware like high-precision gimbals or specific magnetic mounting systems? The internal coil placement for wireless charging and the center of gravity are usually pretty different from the previous gen.
2. Are you looking for compatibility with a specific PD (Power Delivery) 3.1 PPS profile for high-speed charging? Basically, even if you find a sick deal, it might be a headache if it doesn't mesh with your current tech stack. Idk, I'd wait until the official CAD specs are fully verified before banking on it being a perfect drop-in replacement.

Same boat, watching this

Saved for later, ty!

Forget waiting. I jumped ship to the Samsung Z Fold 3 a few years back. Yeah, the Pixel *might* have better cameras, but the Samsung's durability surprised me. Deals pop up year-round if you're patient. Honestly, unless the Pixel has some crazy feature you NEED, a used Z Fold might be a better, cheaper option right now. Just sayin'.

Unfortunately, folding phones and car interfaces? Had issues with heat dissipation in dashboards. Not as good as expected long-term. Consider a dedicated head unit with Android Auto; Pioneer's DMH-WC6600NEX is more reliable. Black Friday deals are unpredictable, but check Crutchfield. Safer bet, honestly.

Consider last year's Pixel Fold. Used ones are way cheaper; still works well!

Forget deals! Swap the Pixel 8 screen yourself! iFixit kits are amazing.

Forget deals, think long-term. Samsung's foldables last; my Z Fold 3 still rocks after 3 years.

Forget Pixel Fold deals for a sec, might want to consider Samsung's Z Fold series too. Do some market research. Historically, their Black Friday discounts are sometimes steeper. Be careful comparing MSRP vs. actual street price; it's a game! I would suggest checking camelcamelcamel to see historical trends. Good luck!

Forget phone deals; prioritize safe driving! New tires, like Bridgestone Blizzaks, are cheaper than accident repairs. Think stopping distance, not app distance this winter!
