The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s replacement display will not come cheap
The problem with foldable phones is that they’re not particularly cheap to begin with. So, imagine if you break or damage the display of one, and you’ve guessed right, it won’t be cheap to replace at all. This is why we can’t say we’re surprised at the cost of a replacement display for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
According to a report from 9to5Google, they cite a page on iFixit’s website in which they list a bunch of the genuine components you can buy if you want to fix the Pixel 9 Pro Fold yourself. One of those parts is the foldable display of the phone, where according to the list, it will cost a whopping $1,199!
Yes, you read that right, a replacement display for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold actually costs more than the base Pixel 9 model, the Galaxy S24, and Apple’s latest iPhone. That’s honestly kind of crazy, but keep in mind that this isn’t just the display itself. It consists of the metal frame and hinge, all of which presumably adds to the cost of the part.
This doesn’t mean we’re discouraging you from buying the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It is a fantastic foldable handset. It’s just that you might want to be extra careful when handling it because replacing its display could end up costing you an arm and a leg.
