Google Gives Rest to Leaks and Officially Shows the Pixel Fold!

May. 5, 2023

Lately, we have seen a number of leaks around Google’s first foldable phone, hinting at its arrival at this year’s Google I/O event. Google decided to put all of these to rest and a few days ahead of the event has now showcased the Pixel Fold in its full glory, also confirming the phone’s name for the very first time. Check it out right here!

This Is the Google Pixel Fold!

Google took to Twitter and posted a short teaser video of the Pixel Fold with the ‘May 4’ Star Wars reference. It is a foldable phone that will fold horizontally and will give competition to the SamsungGalaxy Z Fold 4(also the upcomingGalaxy Z Fold 5), which corroboratespast rumors. There’s a livemicrositeon the Google Store too.

The phone has a design akin to that of thePixel 7 Prowith the same camera setup at the back, so, there’s nothing new here. What might catch your attention is thethick bezels around the display, which can be a bit jarring. The subtle gold color is pretty attractive, though. Do let us know your thoughts on this in the comments below.

What’s underneath hasn’t still been confirmed. But this should be solved soon as the phone is all set to launch on May 10, as guessed. This should happen alongside the launch of thePixel 7a, thePixel Tablet,and possibly the new Pixel Buds.

Nonetheless, we have a hint of what the Pixel Fold could serve on our plates. It is expected to be powered by theTensor G2 chipsetwith the Titan M2 chip. We can expect a 7.6-inch primary OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 5.8-inch outer screen, also with support for a 120Hz refresh rate.

The camera array could be upgraded and include a48MP main snapper, a 10.8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens. Expect an 8MP selfie shooter on the inner screen and a 9.5MP shooter on the outer one. It will most likely run Android 14 but Android 13 is also expected.

Started off as a stranger but tech is more like a good friend, thanks to over 5 years in the industry. While everything is attractive about tech, phones, social media, and quirky gadgets attract me the most. When not working, I find my solace in shopping and everything that concerns doggos!
