Limited-edition Pixel Fold celebrates 50 years of Hip Hop

Google has produced a limited-edition version of the Pixel Fold that celebrates the 50th-anniversary of Hip Hop. Google decided to produce only 400 limited-edition Pixel Fold units in Obsidian with metallic accents added to the sides and the camera bar. The device also sports a special 50th anniversary logo. And what's cool is that the suitcase the phone is packaged in doubles as a record player made by Victrola.

You might be very eager to buy this limited-edition Pixel Fold model but unfortunately, it's not for sale. Instead, Google is handing out the phone, record playing suitcase and all, through its #GiftFromGoogle program. That means the only way you'll get your hands on this limited-edition Pixel Fold is if it is shipped to you by Google. 

Not only does the box come with the limited edition Pixel Fold and the suitcase record player, it also includes a Pixel Watch, a pair of Pixel Buds Pro true wireless earbuds, "It’s All G" bling and a vinyl box containing five 45 RPM singles from the Mass Appeal label. We don't know the criteria Google used to select who would receive one of the 400 limited edition Pixel Fold suitcases but those lucky enough to be gifted one received the following message from Google. "We had a blast putting together something truly customized just for you."

The note also stated that "Simone I. Smith is an incredible jewelry designer, a 17-year cancer survivor, entrepreneur and philanthropist who has witnessed the evolution of Hip Hop first-hand through her husband, LL Cool J. She crafted this piece to pay homage to this transcendent genre of music."

If you are seriously interested in this set, you might want to check eBay every now and then because sets like these sometimes end up on that platform. I know that if I was lucky enough to receive one, I'd never let it go. But that's me.
