Google seems to have regained its footing in the smartphone industry with its Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 lineups. The devices have received a lot of praise for their camera setups, and especially the Pixel-exclusive features that make the lineup so much more enticing for customers. Pixel Fold is another device from the lineup that customers are eagerly waiting for. Recently, internal code changes revealed that the Pixel Fold smartphone might have the “Flip to Shhh” feature, essentially also cementing the belief that Google’s first folding smartphone is on its way.

The internal code is present inside the stable version of the Digital Wellbeing application. The code is stored under the string “pref_auto_dnd_enable_foldable_summary”. This essentially states that users will have to make sure their phone is folded and face down on a flat surface in order to turn on “Do Not Disturb”. They will feel a soft vibration, indicating that “Do Not Disturb” is active. This code in itself is a strong indication of Google’s Pixel Fold smartphone hitting the market in due time. The code is similar to the one found in other Pixel devices, such as the Pixel 7 – minus the foldable part.

As per previous leaks, the Pixel Fold will reportedly sport a tall 7.57-inch OLED primary display and a smaller 5.6-inch cover screen. Leaks also state that the device will be powered by a Tensor G2 chipset coupled with 12GB RAM. The internal display is rumoured to come with a resolution of 1,840 x 2,208 pixels, up to 1,200 nits peak brightness, and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It will be quite interesting to see how Google prices its Pixel Fold smartphone as compared to its competitors, especially Samsung, which has strong control over the current foldable smartphone market. With the right pricing and the quintessential Pixel experience, Google Pixel Fold might just be the company’s biggest break into the smartphone market yet.
