Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O, appears to have been completely taken over by the company’s hardware division this year. Numerous recent rumours claim that the search engine giant will take advantage of the event to finally fully announce a number of new products, including the Pixel Fold, the Pixel Tablet, and the Pixel 7a.

This is nothing new as Google adopted a similar self-leak approach last year as well. The device looks chic with the fine edges and is rumoured to have a smaller frame than its competitors, but those enormous top and bottom margins on the inner screen are unique for a foldable, particularly nowadays. None of the most recent models in the foldable category have bezels this size.

The Pixel Fold may weigh 283g and have the following dimensions: 5.5 inches high, 3.1 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick. The Pixel Fold may come in two colour options: Chalk and Obsidian. 

The main 7.6-inch OLED panel for the Google foldable might have a resolution of 2208×1840 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Its cover screen may measure 5.8 inches diagonally, have OLED in construction, have FHD+ resolution, and refresh at 120 frames per second. A plastic overlay might be used to protect the ultra-thin glass (UTG) that makes up the inner screen.

The Pixel Fold’s rear camera configuration might have a 48MP primary camera, a 10.8MP optical telephoto zoom lens, a 10.8MP 121.1-degree ultra wide camera, and a 10.8MP secondary shooter. The outermost panel camera features a 9.5MP sensor, while the internal camera has an 8MP sensor.

Google’s own Tensor G2 chipset might power the company’s first foldable phone. This might also include 256/512GB of UFS 3.1 storage and 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The Pixel Fold is rumoured to have a starting price of $1,799 or 1,47,535.99 for the 256GB model and $1,919 or 1,57,377.19  for the 512GB version.
