Pixel Fold reportedly has ‘most durable hinge on a foldable’

With Google I/O around the corner, Pixel leaks are coming from all over. The latest comes from CNBC, of all places, confirming previous leaks about the Pixel Fold’s launch and price. The publication also reports the Pixel Fold will have the “most durable hinge on a foldable.”

CNBC cites internal communications it viewed as the source of the information. Per the communications, CNBC reports that Google will announce the Fold at I/O 2023 on May 10th. Moreover, the Fold will cost “upwards” of $1,700 USD, putting it in competition with Samsung’s $1,799 USD Galaxy Z Fold 4. (In Canada, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 starts at $2,269.99).

The publication goes on to detail some of the specifications of the Pixel Fold. The foldable reportedly has water resistance, a 5.8-inch external screen and will open like a book to reveal a 7.6-inch display, same as the Z Fold 4. The Pixel Fold will weigh 10oz (about 283.5g) and will have a larger battery than the Z Fold 4 that Google says will last 24 hours.

The Pixel Fold reportedly runs on Google’s Tensor G2 chip like the company’s 2022 flagships.

Another interesting tidbit in the CNBC report is that Google plans to offer incentives to draw people to the Pixel Fold. This will include trade-in options to swap from a current Pixel, iPhone, or other Android phone and get a discount on the Fold. Even more alluring is that Google will reportedly offer a free Pixel Watch to Fold buyers. Of course, it’s worth keeping in mind that Google often has different (and better) trade-in offers in the U.S.

Ecotourism growing in Thailand

With ecotourism becoming an increasingly popular option for travelers, Thailand is getting in on the action with over 200 hotels and resorts designated as "eco-friendly", reports Routard.

The efforts to become environmentally-friendly are overseen by the not-for-profit Green Leaf Foundation, who designate hotels as "eco-friendly" once they meet certain criteria – including proper waste and water management, energy conservation, use of green products, improved indoor air quality, and a recycling program.

The foundation also puts an emphasis on supporting communities, encouraging hotels to purchase local goods and produce, and hire staff from the region.

Under the Green Leaf Foundation auditing process, environmentally-aware hotels are rewarded with a certificate that displays a score from one to five leaves – five-leaf hotels are "the most practiced… in environmental management," explains the foundation website.

Thanks to the country’s efforts, visitors to the area can now take part in activities like scuba diving, bicycling and hiking, knowing the Green Leaf seal means their fun won’t harm the environment.
