Google has been working on a foldable smartphone for quite some time now and there have been a few leaks related to this upcoming device from the technology giant, which has so far been referred to as Google Pixel Fold.

Now, a new report coming from 9to5Google claims that the first foldable smartphone from Google won’t be called Pixel Fold but will be named as Google Pixel Notepad. Further, the phone’s pricing details have also been tipped.

A source aware of the development said to 9to5Google that the Google Pixel Notepad is the working name for the foldable smartphone. It is also said that the company considered Google Pixel Longbook but ultimately went ahead with the Notepad.

Do note that there’s a possibility that the name of the smartphone could get changed by the time it’s ready for the commercial launch. Google usually has a number in the name of its smartphones but given that the foldable form factor is an experiment from the brand and a totally different offering from its usual ones, it could be named without a number.

The development about the phone’s name is Google Pixel Notepad comes just days after it was revealed through the animations in the Android 12L build that the smartphone will be similar to the OPPO Find N in terms of form factor and not like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series phones because of the wider screen when unfolded.

Based on the leaks so far, the Google Pixel Notepad will come powered by the company’s own Tensor (GS101) chipset, coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. It is said to have a downgraded camera setup compared to the Pixel 6 lineup.

As for the pricing, the report claims that the Google Pixel Notepad would cost less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 which is priced at $1,799. This is quite interesting, especially for a first-generation foldable smartphone.
