Deals: Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold Now Available, iPad (2022) Price Drops

The standard Google Pixel 9 and the flagship Pixel 9 Pro XL launched in late August, and now, in early September, we’re welcoming the two remaining members of the family – the little Pro and Google’s second-generation foldable smartphone.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold costs the same as last year’s model, which means it’s not cheap. But few horizontal foldable models are (and none are available in the US).

For comparison, here’s the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. Another locally available alternative is the OnePlus Open, but it’s almost a year old now, so it’s better to wait for the sequel.

Then there’s the Google Pixel 9 Pro – a relatively small flagship with the same high-end camera hardware as the Pro XL. It’s bigger than the Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15 Pro, but with a 48MP 113mm periscope and 48MP ultra-wide, it beats both, at least on paper. There’s also a 42MP ultra-wide selfie camera.

Sure, the regular Google Pixel 9 is very similar — same size, same Tensor G4 chipset, same main and ultrawide cameras (but no telephoto and with lower selfie resolution). The display is also not an LTPO panel like the Pro’s. On the other hand, the regular phone costs $200 less.

And here’s the big Pixel 9 Pro XL. It’s essentially identical to the 9 Pro, save for the screen size (6.8″ vs. 6.3″) and battery (5,060 mAh vs. 4,700 mAh).

Apple recently lowered the price of the 2022 iPad to $300. Of course, that’s for the 64GB model, which can be pretty cramped, depending on how you use it. And the 256GB version is pretty pricey.

The price of the older 2021 iPad (with a Lightning port instead of USB-C) has dropped to $200 for the 64GB model.

If you prefer Android, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is close in price at $340. You’re getting a 90Hz IPS LCD rather than the 60Hz found in the iPads, IP68 dust and water resistance, and a microSD slot for easy storage expansion.

The Sonos Ace were recently introduced. They’re a comfortable pair of on-ear headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) and Transparency mode. A unique feature is TV Audio Swap – if you have a Sonos Arc soundbar, you can easily stream audio from your TV wirelessly to your headphones (along with surround sound).
