New Pixel Fold renders give best look yet at upcoming foldable

Google’s newest phone offering is set to be released sometime in June of 2023, and now, we have a closer look at what the Google Pixel Fold might look like through some new leaks.

The photos surfaced on Twitter through Evan Blass and gave a more detailed look at the upcoming foldable. Previously, renders and even some video footage appeared online, but this looks to be the first leak from a historically reputable source.

Blass, whose account is currently private, posted three photos showing off how the Pixel Fold looks. The images show off the front and back covers of the phone, the home screen display and what the phone could look like when folded.

These photos add up to what has been said about the upcoming phone to date. They show off the phone’s foldability, front-facing camera and how the Pixel Launcher home screen will look on the larger foldable display.

Blass included some more personal thoughts on the Pixel Fold’s bezels, saying, “Keep in mind, there’s something to be said for bezels on larger-screen devices.”

The Pixel Fold will likely be announced at the company’s annual developer conference, Google I/O, on May 10 and is set to be released sometime in June 2023. Pre-orders for the phone are slated to open on the same day as the conference.

New Pixel Fold leak uncovers the foldable phone’s potential specs

A new leak from Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech about the upcoming Pixel Fold offers a detailed look at the foldable’s potential specs.

According to Prosser, the Pixel Fold will cost $1,799 USD (approximately $2436.45 CAD) for the 256GB model and $1,919 USD (approximately $2598.97 CAD) for the 512GB model. The fold is said to come in two colours, chalk and obsidian, with the 512GB model available in obsidian only.

Google is also reportedly offering a free Pixel Watch for everyone who pre-orders the Pixel Fold, making the steep price point more justified.

According to the leak, both foldable models will feature 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and run the Tensor G2 chip with the Titan M2 security chip. As for dimensions, the phone allegedly measures 5.5 by 3.1 by 0.5-inches when folded.

The outer display of the Pixel Fold is set to feature a 17.4:9 aspect ratio at 5.8-inches and will sport an FHD+ OLED display with a resolution of 2092 × 1080 pixel resolution OLED screen. The inner display sits at 7.6-inches, with the foldable display featuring ultra-thin glass protected by plastic.

Like the Pixel 7 series, the upcoming Pixel Fold will come with Google One VPN, according to this report.

The recent leak also touches on the specs of the phone’s cameras. Prosser reports a 48-megapixel main sensor with /1.7 aperture and a sensor size of half an inch. The front outer selfie camera is reported to have a 9.5-megapixel sensor with 1.22 pm pixel width, f/2.2 aperture, and fixed focus.

Pre-orders for the Pixel Fold open on May 10th, with the foldable phone expected to get a full introduction at the Google I/O 2023. The foldable is expected to release in June 2023.
