Google has officially launched its highly anticipated Pixel 10 series in India, which includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The new lineup introduces major design refinements, performance upgrades powered by the Tensor G5 chipset, and enhanced AI features. With the Pixel 10 Pro XL priced at ₹1,24,999 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold positioned as the flagship foldable, Google has now slashed prices of its Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold to attract users who want premium experiences without spending top-tier money.
Pixel 9 Pro XL: Now ₹20,000 Cheaper
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, launched in India at ₹1,24,999, has now received a significant discount following the Pixel 10 series launch.
- New Price on Flipkart: ₹1,04,999 (₹20,000 discount)
- Google Store Price: ₹1,14,999
This positions the Pixel 9 Pro XL as one of the best flagship options under ₹1.05 lakh. Despite being a year old, it continues to offer features that remain highly competitive in 2025:
- Display: 6.7-inch LTPO OLED with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate
- Processor: Tensor G4 chip for smooth performance and AI-driven features
- Cameras: Versatile triple rear camera system, excelling in computational photography
- Software: Stock Android with Pixel-exclusive AI tools and 3 years of major updates
The ₹20,000 drop makes it especially attractive against rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro, both of which sit in higher price brackets.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold: A ₹43,000 Price Cut
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which debuted in India at ₹1,72,999, has also seen a dramatic price drop on Flipkart, just ahead of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s arrival.
- Launch Price: ₹1,72,999
- Current Flipkart Price: ₹1,29,999 (Flat ₹33,000 discount)
- HDFC EMI Offer: Additional ₹10,000 off
- Effective Price: ₹1,19,999
- Exchange Bonus: Up to ₹55,850 for old smartphones
This combination of offers makes the Pixel 9 Pro Fold one of the most aggressively priced foldables in India right now.
Key Specs and Features:

- Outer screen: 6.3-inch OLED, 120Hz, 2700 nits peak brightness
- Inner screen: 8-inch OLED, 120Hz, 2700 nits peak brightness

With its large foldable inner display, powerful cameras, and AI-powered tools, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold remains a feature-packed device that offers a premium experience at a now much more palatable price point.
Why the Price Cuts Matter
Google’s strategy here is clear: with the Pixel 10 series commanding premium pricing, older models like the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold can appeal to users who want a flagship Pixel experience but don’t necessarily need the newest hardware.
- Pixel 9 Pro XL is now one of the most affordable high-end stock Android phones under ₹1.05 lakh.
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold, with its ₹43,000 effective discount, becomes one of the best value foldables on the market, competing with devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 at a much lower entry point.
For users who want AI-driven software, strong cameras, and premium build quality, both phones continue to hold their ground.
Availability
Both discounted Pixel models are available via:
- Flipkart (biggest discounts + bank offers)
- Google Online Store
- Authorized offline retailers
Exchange deals and EMI options further sweeten the deal for those looking to upgrade without overspending.
Final Verdict
The launch of the Google Pixel 10 series has brought with it not just new innovations but also exciting opportunities for value seekers.
- The Pixel 9 Pro XL, with its ₹20,000 price cut, remains an excellent premium choice for users who want a flagship camera phone and smooth Android experience without crossing ₹1.25 lakh.
- The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, with an effective discount of up to ₹43,000, is now one of the most compelling foldable phones under ₹1.20 lakh, offering both productivity and entertainment perks.
