The renders of the long-rumored Google foldable, expected to be christened as Pixel Fold, have finally shaped up. Thanks to Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech, we now have a fair idea of what this device could look like. It has design inspirations from the Pixel 7 series but is very much distinct in its own ways. Some of those variations from the Pixel 7 design language seem to be because of the larger (and also folding) footprint of the “Pixel Fold”. Here’s what I mean:
One of the signature design elements of the Pixel 7 series is the long and pronounced visor on the back which blends in with the metallic side frame. On the back of the Pixel Fold, we do get a protruding camera panel but it is more of an island than an extended visor.
There appear to be three sensors as part of the rear camera setup, though the underlying sensor details are still secret. Mr. Prosser has, however, claimed the front punch-hole camera and the inner screen camera are both 9.5MP sensors.
That inner screen camera is sitting within the top bezel and speaking of which, the main display is surrounded by noticeable borders.
Moving from the optics and the screen to sound, the device is said to house dual speakers, positioned one on the top and the other on the bottom.
In the renders, we also see some buttons on the right side, which are apparently the volume rockers and a power key cum fingerprint reader.
That’s about all Prosser reveals from a design and specs standpoint.
Google is rumored to launch the Pixel Fold in May of 2023, priced at around $1,799 (~₹1,45,656). That’s a lot of commas between numbers. We hope the device is worth it.
