The Pixel Fold, the foldable smartphone according to Google, is highly anticipated. The Howtoisolve site created a 360-degree video rendering from information collected by OnLeaks.
Leaker Steve offers us more details on the technical sheet of the device as well as3D rendering. Obviously, all this information is to be taken in the conditional. On the one hand, their source is not necessarily 100% reliable, and on the other hand, the product is likely to evolve significantly between now and its release.
The diagonal of the external screen will measure 5.79 inches. That of the internal screen will be 7.69 inches. The dimensions of the device will be 158.7 x 139.7 x 8.3 mm, if we include the bump created by the lens. The bowels of the Fold could contain Google’s Tensor G2 chip, which is not necessarily good news, as experts believe that this processor is far from being the most efficient on the board. The Mountain View firm does not care, because for her, the true strength of its devices lies in Artificial Intelligence. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro attest to this: they are among the best photophones.
The design of the Pixel Fold strongly resembles that of the future Oppo Find N2
In terms of colors available, Google does not stand out for its crazy originality. According to leakers, the Pixel Fold will be offered in two colors: Silver and Black. The leak tells us that the drawer for the SIM card will be located on the lower edge of the external screen, while the power socket will be arranged on the right edge of the internal screen. No information has yet filtered regarding the possibility of using a stylus with the Fold, but it would be surprising if Google did not offer this very useful feature in the long term.
Will the Pixel Fold manage to find a place for itself among an ever-increasing and growing competition? Nothing is less certain, especially since many observers do not hesitate to point out the disturbing resemblance between the Pixel Fold and the Oppo Find N2. Fortunately for Google, Oppo says that Europe will only be entitled to the Find N2 Flip, its folding clamshell version. The release of the Pixel Fold is expected in May 2023.
