It feels like we’ve been hearing about theGoogle Pixel Foldfor the better part of forever, but now next month’sGoogle I/O eventis expected to finally mark the debut of the search giant’s first-ever foldable — in addition to thePixel 7aand maybe even aPixel Tablet. Thanks to abevy of leaks so far, we’ve gotten a fair idea of what to expect from the foldable, including the design and camera departments. Over the weekend, known leaker Kuba Wojciechowski shared a video that might just be our very first real-life look at the Pixel Fold in action.
The video shared by Wojciechowski onTwitterreveals both the cover display and the larger internal screen. Some thick bezels are prominent here, which is a far cry from theGalaxy Z Fold 4’srefined design. We can’t tell much about the quality of the screen from the video, since a large part of it has been blurred out for privacy reasons. Nevertheless, this gives us a better idea about the foldable’s construction ahead of its presumed debut next month.
One of the tidbits of information we’ve received recently suggests that the Pixel Fold could feature the “most durable hinge on a foldable.” Thesame CNBC reportmentioned that the phone would weigh around 284 grams, and even manage to feature water resistance. We heard in January that the Pixel Fold could use ateardrop-style hinge, similar to foldables launched by Vivo. Samsung is rumored to be working on asimilar hingefor the Galaxy Z Fold 5, potentially making it thinner than its predecessor
All this Pixel Fold excitement comes hot on the heels ofa recent surveysuggesting a strong year for the US foldable segment. Google has alreadyupdated a handful of its appsto accommodate the flexible form factor, so a bulk of theWorkspace appsshould be good to go when the Pixel Fold hits the market.
