Google would be preparing a foldable smartphone in clamshell format.
Google recently introduced its own foldable smartphone model, the Pixel Fold. The device is a real technological showcase for the Californian company and, both in terms of performance, price and design, he comes to hunt on the lands of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold 4. If you are looking for a foldable in clamshell format, you have no choice but to turn to the Galaxy Z Flip 4 from the Korean giant, to the Find N2 Flip from Oppo, or even to the amazing Razr 2022 from Motorola.

Google is said to be developing a model of smartphone in clamshell format. The revelation is of course conditional, but such a product would allow the company to fight toe to toe with the world leader in smartphone sales. Since the company has made no official announcement, we can assume that the release of a device sporting this new form factor is not imminent. If a “Google Flip” appears one day on our shelves, it will probably only be not before 2024.

Google’s Pixel Flip could be equipped with a Tensor G3, an SoC optimized for energy efficiency more than raw power. Its interface should benefit from an external screen, as is the current standard on this type of device. We can therefore imagine that the Californian giant will also offer a component of this kind. The smartphone will probably be less well endowed in terms of optics, which will allow lower its price and to make it more affordable for ordinary mortals.

If the release of a Google Pixel Flip remains completely hypothetical, one thing is certain: the Pixel 8 and its Pro version are approaching. A video has just leaked. She reveals the design of the Pixel 8 Pro and its integrated thermometer. For now, we know that this new range of smartphones will be powered by the Tensor G3 and that the Pro model will be equipped with a 6.52-inch AMOLED panel. The formalization of these devices should take place next october.
