Although the Pixel Fold isn’t yet announced, it might be soon. Recent leaks seem to shed light on what to assume from Google’s long-rumored foldable smartphone.
The phone will reportedly include a 7.69-inch inner screen and a smaller 5.79-inch cover screen, which means it will operate more similarly to Samsung‘s Galaxy Z Fold 4 than Microsoft’s Surface Duo phones, which lack cover screens.
The size of the Google device when unfolded will be approximately 158.7 x 139.7 x 5.7mm. The Pixel foldable could be a little larger than Samsung’s Z Fold 4.
In terms of the camera, Google’s foldable seems to continue the current tradition of the company’s obscenely enormous Pixel camera bumps; the images depict a sizable bar running the length of the phone, equipped with 3 cameras along with an LED flash.
The front cover screen also has a selfie camera, according to the renderings. Additionally, it appears that Google’s Tensor G2 CPU will power the phone’s internal components. According to reports, the phone would be available in black and silver.
Sources indicate that the Pixel foldable will be launched in May 2023, so enthusiasts may not have to wait too long to try the phone. Additionally, the pricing is estimated to be $1,799. This puts it exactly in line with the Z Fold 4’s beginning price.
If this phone is made public, which seems probably given that some sort of Google foldable has been spotted in Android 13 code, it would be a significant addition to Google’s expanding Pixel device lineup, which currently includes this year’s Pixel 7 Pro and 7, Pixel Buds Pro, Pixel Watch, and next year’s Pixel Tablet.
Buyers have to wait and watch how Google’s debut into the market would fare, and it also implies that Samsung would have to compete with another such foldable rival.
