Black Friday deals have gone, Google has announced exactly which products are about to have their prices cut, and by how much.

I n this article, we’ll be comparing flagship smartphones from Google and ASUS. We’ll compare the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra. The ZenFone 11 Ultra arrived

Those pre-Black Friday deals on the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold were fun, but as we mentioned at the time of those going live, many of us were really waiting to see what Google would do with the regular Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL for Black Friday weekend.

Google has been circling around dropping the Pixel 9 price with surprise vouchers and enhanced trade-in prices in recent weeks. But the company has finally, officially, slashed the price of its flagship phone in an early Black Friday sale.

The Google Pixel Fold 9 Pro is a significant entry in the rapidly evolving foldable smartphone market, offering a compelling blend of innovative design

Foldable phones are expensive, primarily due to their folding display. This also makes them more expensive to repair, as a replacement screen can cost upwards of $500. If you own Google's second-gen foldable, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you might want to be even more careful with it, as its screen repair could cost you more than the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

As expensive as they are, foldable phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 or the Pixel 9 Pro Fold require a little more care than a slab-style device. A normal phone can take heavier knocks, harder taps, and even withstand more scratches than a foldable simply because of the materials needed to make a foldable work.
