According to the report, an anonymous source has revealed that Google has been testing the Pixel Fold 2 internally for the past few months. It has been found that the chipset that powers the prototype units of the Pixel Fold 2 is codenamed “zumapro.” For those who don’t know, the Tensor G3 chip that powers the Pixel 8 series has the “zuma” codename. Hence, it appears that the zumapro chip that powers the next-generation foldable could be the Tensor G4. To recall, the original Pixel Fold 2 features the Tensor G2 chip.

The Tensor G4 will be manufactured by Samsung and is said to be equipped with ARM Cortex-X4, A720, and A520 CPU cores. The Pixel Fold has 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, whereas the Pixel Fold 2 appears to be a more powerful device, as it is said to have 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Likely, it may also feature the rumored Pixel AI assistant.

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro in October of this year. Both phones are expected to feature the Tensor G4 chip. Now that the Pixel Fold 2 is also said to have the same chip, it is likely that it may launch alongside the Pixel 9 series.
