Smartphone screen size has been increasing and it’s now almost impossible to find a flagship smartphone that is comparatively smaller in size. But now, amid rumors of a foldable smartphone from Google, it appears that the company is on track to launch a smaller phone.

As per the latest leak coming through Ross Young, the upcoming flagship smartphone from the Mountain View-based tech giant, the Google Pixel 8, will have a smaller display panel.

It is said that the Google Pixel 8 will feature a 6.16-inch display, which is smaller compared to the 6.7-inch display on the Pixel 8 Pro. With the 6.16-inch panel, we expect the company to market it and list it as a 6.2-inch panel.

Further, it is revealed that the display for the upcoming Pixel 8 lineup will be sourced from Samsung, which isn’t surprising given that company’s dominance in the market. It is said that the panel production could begin in the month of May, i.e. next month.

Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro flagship smartphones are expected to go official in October, but ahead of the official launch, we expect the company to showcase the devices at the Google I/O if the company continues to do what it did last year.

At the Google I/O, apart from teasing the Pixel 8 lineup, the search engine giant is also set to launch a few hardware products, including the Pixel 7a, the much-anticipated Pixel Fold foldable smartphone, and the Pixel Tablet.
