Pixel phones, which Google introduced for the first time in 2016, were produced directly under the roof of Google, not under the giant brands of the industry, unlike their predecessors, Nexus devices. Although many problems were encountered with the first Pixels, Google recovered these problems in a short time and, according to many smartphone users, began to produce phones that rivaled Samsung.
After the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro introduced in the past months, Google’s next 3-year roadmap for Pixel phones has emerged today.
Foldable Pixel phone to be introduced in 2024
Someone working at Google, who stated that he had obtained this information thanks to his strong connections, presented Google’s 3-year roadmap with evidence to the popular Android news site Android Authority (AA). AA officials explained that they think this roadmap is most likely correct, as they find the evidence presented to be extremely convincing.
According to the leaked information, Google plans to introduce a total of 4 new models with two promotions in 2023. In the first promotion to be held in April or May, Pixel 7a and the foldable Pixel phone that has been expected for years will be introduced. The new flagship phones of the Pixel series, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, are expected to be introduced at the second event, which is planned to be held in autumn. Let us remind you that there are no details about these phones or promotions in the leaked information, and only information about which devices the company will introduce in which year.
In 2024, the company may announce the new Pixel 8a model, according to the success of Pixel 7a. Although these phones, which are similar to the SE models of the iPhone, have started to become popular recently, it is not currently known whether the phones will sell in the coming period. In the fall of 2024, Google’s new Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro models will be introduced.
There are 2 different possibilities for 2025.
In the leaked documents, there are 2 different roadmaps for 2025 to be implemented “according to the situation”. The first of these is that if the Pixel Fold is successful, the company will introduce a second generation horizontal foldable (Fold) and a new vertical foldable (Flip) phone in 2025. However, if the Google Pixel Fold, which will be introduced in 2023, does not achieve the expected success, the company will continue to produce standard phones by permanently shelving the foldable phone idea that it has been working on for many years. In the second roadmap, smaller, but high-performance models will be introduced instead of foldable Pixel phones. You can think of these phones as an iPhone 12 Mini size iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Although all of this information is a claim, Android Authority officials claim that these plans belong to real company documents and are probably correct when they look at the evidence and documents presented to them.
