Google is rumored to be working on its first foldable smartphone, which is expected to go official sometime this year. Ahead of the launch of this new upcoming smartphone, some of the key details have surfaced online.
In the latest report, it is being claimed that the foldable smartphone from Google, which could be named Pixel Fold or Pixel Notepad, will be manufactured by Foxconn. For those who are unaware, Foxconn is also a contract manufacturer of the Apple iPhone.
This won’t be the first time Google partners with Foxconn to manufacture smartphones as Foxconn is already making high-end Pixel smartphones.
The report further adds that Google is planning to launch two flagship smartphones in the market this year. One of them will be a foldable smartphone named Pixel Notepad, while the other will be a high-end Pixel smartphone.
Google Pixel Notepad is said to have a form factor similar to the Oppo Find N, meaning it will most likely have a square design when unfolded. It is rumored to feature a 5.8-inch display and will be powered by the company’s Tensor chipset.
As for the pricing, it was previously revealed that the search engine giant is targeting $1,399 price point for the foldable smartphone, which is significantly lower pricing compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold lineup.
The flagship Pixel series smartphones from Google typically sell about five million to seven million units annually. Based on that, the market estimates that the foldable smartphone from Google could sell about three million units in a year.
