Recently, foldable gadgets like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Moto Razr 5G, and Huawei Mate Xs have all shown great potential for the future of foldable devices. There are already rumors that Google is planning to enter this expanding industry, with the Google Pixel Fold expected to debut soon and we even have the initial rumors of a second foldable Pixel device.
We’ve gathered up all the latest news and rumors about Samsung’s potentially intriguing Pixel Fold.
Google Pixel Foldable- Rumored Name & Release Date
“Passport” and “Jumbojack” were reportedly codenamed by Google in past disclosures. It’s rumored that both of them will be committed to the Google Pixel Foldable, which is expected to be referred to as “Google Pixel Fold.”
“Pipit,” this new camera application reference has also suggested at a second folding Google tablet, codenamed “Pipit.” In comparison to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Passport is considered to be quite similar, while Jumbojack is parallel to the Flip 3.
The Google Pixel Fold was widely expected to be unveiled at the company’s Pixel 6 launch. But it didn’t happen and we now have fresh theories about the launch date of the Google Pixel Fold. According to the most recent updates, the Google Pixel Fold is expected to be released in March 2022. Additionally, Google has confirmed the Android 12L mid-cycle upgrade for tablets, foldable, and larger-screen devices.

Fans are speculating that the Google Pixel Fold and Android 12L will join forces in the future.
Google Pixel Fold specifications, features, and camera
If the code found in Android 12 beta is anything to go by, Google Pixel Fold is expected to have the same design as the Pixel 6 series.
This suggests that it may incorporate the same chipset as the Google Tensor, the company’s most recent product line. However, the tech giant has a wide range of processors to choose from. When the Galaxy Z Fold 2 was released, the most efficient processor was the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ so that’s also a good option.
When it comes to clicking pictures, everyone wants a Pixel gadget to have excellent cameras. Nevertheless, Google’s latest Pixel devices feature excellent cameras, even though it was accustomed to fitting average cameras in other foldable devices. According to new leaks, The Google Pixel Fold will boast two front-facing 8 MP cameras and one single 12 MP rear camera. Likewise, Google needs to concentrate on its application performance in order to assure excellent data input capabilities.
Google Pixel Fold design and display
Speculation is rife that the Google Pixel Fold will look a lot like the Galaxy S22. Samsung has also supplied Google with 7.6-inch foldable OLED panels. It’s true that we’ve heard this rumor before, but it still holds up. If the Pixel Fold is 7.6 inches tall, it could be the same height as the Galaxy Z Fold 2. As of writing, the tech giant holds patents for two foldable devices involving a Z-shape design with dual hinges and a clamshell design.
According to Patently Mobile, Google has yet another patent that showcases an extended tablet-sized screen. It’s akin to a roll-up phone. However, we don’t believe this will be Google’s first foldable phone prototype.
We may conclude that Google is trying out a variety of designs and overlays for the Pixel Fold. But it’s not clear what’s going to happen right now.
Google Pixel Foldable Expected Price
Flips and foldable are noted for their high price. Google Pixel Fold will therefore not be a cost-effective gadget. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is currently the most pricey foldable gadget on the market, costing $1,799 at this time.
Other folding variants may be found in the $ 999 to $ 1,399 price bracket. To compete with Samsung’s latest handsets, Google will likely sell its Pixel Fold between $ 1199 and $ 1599.
So far, that’s all the details and rumors we have regarding Google Pixel Fold. A huge chunk of it is comprised of Google’s patent applications, code leaks, and several other whistleblowers since there has been no official news from Google.
