Pixel foldable case gives us a rough idea of the phone’s dimensions, hinge and bezels

After hearing about two separate Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 leaks, a Pixel foldable leak has been spotted today courtesy of Dave2D on YouTube that gives us a lot of insight about Google’s first foldable.

Dave2D was able to obtain a case model of the foldable that offers insight into the device’s physical hardware, hinge, and inner display.

Dave2D says in his video that he has been told the case model is “dimensionally accurate” to the actual Pixel foldable. If so, the case model indicates that the device will be remarkably thin at 5.7mm, 0.6mm thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 4 when it is unfolded.

Additionally, the case model reveals that the Pixel foldable’s screen will be wider than Samsung’s Fold devices, and that it will have somewhat thick bezels, measuring around 5-6mm.

Dave2D also points out that the foldable’s speakers would be positioned at the top left and bottom right of the devices, making the phone sound good when held in either orientation.

Google is reported to be using a ‘water drop’ style hinge for its foldable, which means the device will not have a gap like Samsung’s foldable devices; instead, it will close flush.

From what we already know so far, Google’s first foldable will reportedly have a brightness of 800 nits and a peak rating of 1,200 nits, and would cost roughly $1,799 USD (about $2,459 CAD),

Google Pixel Foldable concept video shows off cool design

Yesterday, a leak about a Google Pixel foldable with the codename ‘Jumbojack’ surfaced on the net. Now, Waqar Khan, a well-known designer, has released a design concept video of that phone based on the leaks.

The foldable concept looks like it was inspired by both the Pixel 6 Pro and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3. 

The designer added the look of the Pixel 6 Pro on the back with the same type of camera design. There’s also a hole-punch camera on the cover screen in the top left corner, and on the larger inner display, there’s a hole punch shooter on the right side.

The hinge looks similar to Samsung’s Z Fold 3, and the device has quite a large bottom bezel and a thick top bezel on the main screen.

Previous rumours indicate that Samsung provided the foldable display tech to Google for this Pixel handset. The rumoured phone will reportedly sport a 7.57-inch panel with a 120Hz panel.

Rumour has it that Google will launch this device before the launch of Android 12.1, so hopefully, that’s before the end of the year. It’s worth mentioning that this is only a concept, and the foldable Pixel smartphone might look very different from what’s seen here.
