The next Made by Google event is set to take place on August 13, in Mountain View, California. While much of the details of Google’s product launch has already leaked, there’s some info that has not. That includes pre-order and shipping dates. We can now share those dates with you.
All new Pixel products will be available for pre-order on August 13 — likely right after the keynote finishes, around 11 AM PT. However, the shipping dates vary across the device lineup.
The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL will all be available on August 22. Pre-orders typically ship out a couple of days beforehand. However, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Buds Pro 2 will not start shipping until September.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold will start shipping in early September
One of the issues with doing an earlier launch event is that shipments have to catch up. And that’s the case for Google this year. Not only is their event two months early, but they are also introducing twice as many phones as usual. That results in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold being delayed, but it should be on sale starting September 4. That means you get almost a month to do pre-orders. That’s a good thing for some consumers since the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to cost $1,799. That’s the same as the original Pixel Fold, so despite competitors raising prices, Google isn’t – at least on their foldable.
Finally the Pixel Buds Pro 2. These get a pretty long pre-order timeline, as they aren’t slated to be available until September 26. More than a month after their announcement.
We don’t have any info about when the Pixel Watch 3 will be launching, and based on the varying shipping dates we have for other Pixel products, we don’t want to speculate on a date. But hopefully they ship sooner rather than later.
