The Pixel Fold has been rumored for ages, and in 2023, it may finally become a reality! From the specs to the price and more — here’s every detail we know.
Google’s Pixel lineup is now a staple in the Android smartphone space, and as we head into 2023, one of next year’s most anticipated releases is the Google Pixel Fold.
What is the Pixel Fold, you ask? It’s the long-rumored foldable Pixel phone from Google, and the tech world has been buzzing about it since the first folding phones started to hit the market. For all the latest on the Pixel Fold — including its potential specs, design, price, and more — here are all the rumors and details you need to know.
Our first real glimpse at the Pixel Fold arrived on November 14, when FrontPageTech published numerous renders of what the phone’s final design may look like. At first glance, it looks just like the Galaxy Z Fold 4 —featuring a cover display on the outside and a larger, tablet-like display when folded open. But there are a few key design differences to note.
For starters, the outer screen on the Pixel Fold looks considerably wider than the very narrow one on the Fold 4 and appears to be much more similar to the aspect ratio of a “normal” phone. When the Pixel Fold is opened, you see a much bigger screen on the inside that’s set to a horizontal landscape orientation. It’s a pretty different setup compared to the Z Fold 4 and, if anything, should be very close to the Oppo Find N in terms of its form factor.
There are a few other important design details to highlight. FrontPageTech’s source for the Pixel Fold claims that the phone is “really fucking heavy,” suggesting the phone is made out of glass and metal for a premium feel.
What else do we have? There are speaker grilles on the top and bottom frames, a Pixel 7 Pro-like camera bar on the back, two color options (chalk and obsidian), and a power button that reportedly doubles as an in-screen fingerprint sensor.
