Pixel Fold: Google’s first foldable phone teased in a video

The long-awaited Pixel Fold is finally here, at least in a glimpse. Google has released a short video that showcases its first foldable phone, which is expected to launch later this year. The video does not reveal much about the device, but it does confirm some of the rumors and leaks that have been circulating online.

The Pixel Fold has a large inner screen that folds in half, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. The video shows how the phone can run multiple apps on the same screen, such as Google Maps and YouTube. It also shows how the phone can switch from a tablet-like mode to a phone-like mode when folded, adjusting the app layout accordingly.

The video also gives us a brief look at the outer screen, which seems to be smaller than the inner one. The outer screen can display notifications, time, date, and battery level. It can also be used to take selfies with the rear camera, which appears to be a square module with four lenses.

The Pixel Fold is rumored to have a 7.6-inch inner screen and a 6.2-inch outer screen, both with 120Hz refresh rate. It is also expected to have a Snapdragon 888 processor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 4,500mAh battery. The phone will likely run Android 12 with some exclusive features for foldable devices.

Google has not announced the price or availability of the Pixel Fold yet, but it has said that it will share more details in the coming months. The phone will compete with other foldable phones in the market, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Huawei Mate X2. The Pixel Fold could be a game-changer for Google, as it will showcase its hardware and software capabilities in a new form factor.
