Code from Google’s Camera app indicates that the Pixel Fold release was pushed back to 2022 and reveals a few camera specs.
When Google unveiled the Pixel 6 series a few weeks ago, we expected the company to drop some sort of teaser about its first foldable handset. But that never happened. Earlier this year, we saw plenty of evidence that the so-called Pixel Fold would be unveiled in the fall. But then rumors said Google pushed the released date. At best, we’d see a foldable phone teaser during the Made by Google event. However, the virtual keynote was only about the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. It’s understandable why Google didn’t want to announce any other novelties during the event. The Fold would have undermined the Pixel 6 handsets, which are quite exciting by themselves. A new report indicates the Pixel Fold is still in the works, but Google doesn’t plan to release the handset this year. As usual, with new details about Google’s first foldable Pixel, the release information comes from a camera app teardown.
