It has been reported that Google has not yet seen snow in foldable devices and the company has shelved plans for its first foldable smartphone project, called Pixel Fold. According to a new report from DSCC, Google has canceled parts orders and will not launch the Pixel Fold in the first half of 2022.
It was claimed that Google would launch the Pixel Fold, which will be its first foldable smartphone for a while, in 2022, thus entering the foldable smartphone market. Many leaks have emerged about the Pixel Fold to date, but no clear date has been shared for the official announcement. It seems that this phone is not among the possibilities to appear in 2022.
The reason behind this decision of Google is that the foldable smartphone market has not reached enough maturity for now. One of the main reasons pushing the company to this decision is that Samsung is very aggressive in this area and focuses on the foldable smartphone range. The fact that the market has not reached a sufficient level of profitability for the moment and Samsung’s aggressive behavior in this area seems to have pushed Google to wait a bit.
On the other hand, Google is also pleased with Samsung’s activity in the field. He even designed a special website for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 models. Supporting the growth of this segment with phones based on the Android operating system, Google will probably share the Pixel Fold announcement after the market reaches sufficient maturity.
