Although the Pixel Fold, Google’s possible foldable phone that never appeared, has not yet been officially introduced, it is almost certain that it is being worked on. After some images of the product surfaced last month, a YouTuber called Dave2D seized what he said was a mockup of the foldable Pixel and tried to predict a number of features.
Some important points among them can be listed as follows:
- According to the estimation based on the hinge, the inner screen will have a softer middle curve than the Samsung Z Fold 4.
- Presumably to keep costs down and avoid a camera outage, the 7.67-inch internal display has surprisingly thick bezels. According to Dave’s estimation, the frame will be about 5mm thick.
- The 5.79-inch outer screen is slightly shorter and wider than the Z Fold 4 and appears to have a cutaway selfie camera.
- There are speaker grilles at the top and bottom.
The gray plastic model largely matches the leaked images we saw in December, including a giant camera setup, hinge design, and thick bezels. Therefore, we can say that even if it is fake, we are at least looking at a product that is consistent with previous leaks.
Dave didn’t reveal the source, but dimensionally accurate mock-ups like this are usually sent to case makers before the device is released, ensuring that later accessories are ready for use. While that timing is in line with the December leak, which suggested an official announcement at Google I/O in May, later leaks claimed the launch could happen in the fall.
