To absolutely no one's surprise, Google's first-ever foldable smartphone has landed.

The new Google Pixel Fold debuted at the company's annual I/O conference Wednesday, confirming a few years of rumors and introducing some serious competition for last fall's stellar Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. The small tablet-shaped device features a 7.6-inch display and the same Tensor G2 chip as the Pixel 7 series, and it comes with a base storage capacity of 256GB for $1,799. You can upgrade to a 512GB model for $120 more.

Set for release on June 27, the Pixel Fold is exclusively available for preorder directly through the Google Store for now. Listings are technically live at Amazon and Verizon, but you can't add it to your cart on either site until June 20.

On the plus side, Google will give you last year's Pixel Watch for free when you reserve your Pixel Fold through its storefront. Mashable tech and games reporter Alex Perry wasn't blown away by this wearable when he tried it last fall, but it works perfectly fine and syncs seamlessly with the Fitbit app for fitness tracking. You can choose from the WiFi-only model or the version with LTE, which retail for $349.99 and $399.99, respectively.
