Jeet — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 04:51:32 +0000

Google teased the upcoming Pixel Tablet at a recent event where the company launched its latest Pixel 7 series phones. Apart from the new tablet, the company also has Pixel Notepad, a foldable smartphone in the pipeline.

Now, ahead of the official launch of these two new devices, some details have been leaked online, which reveal that both of these upcoming products won’t be featuring an under-display fingerprint sensor.

According to a report from 9to5Google, an Android code used for UI testing on devices indicates a Y-aligned setup, which means that the fingerprint sensor on the device will be on the left or right side of the device.

There are two devices on which this new Android UI code testing is happening. One of the device is the Google Notepad (or Google Fold) foldable smartphone, and the other device is the Google Pixel Tablet which will be released next year.

It was recently revealed that the Pixel Notepad smartphone would feature a display panel from Samsung Display, which is already providing panels for the Pixel series phones. The Large screen on the inside will support a screen resolution of 1840×2208 and is claimed to attain a peak brightness of up to 1200nits, with an average brightness of 800nits. While not yet confirmed, it could have support for a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.

The phone is expected to have a triple camera setup on the back, comprising a 64MP Sony IMX787 primary sensor, a 12MP IMX386 ultrawide lens, and a 10.8MP S5K3J1 telephoto sensor. The inner camera of the device is said to be an 8MP Sony IMX355 sensor, while the front-facing outer camera may sport an S5K3J1 sensor.

When both devices get launched sometime next year, Google will have a hardware ecosystem of its own, including the Pixel lineup of phones, tablets, TWS earbuds, and smartwatch, along with the Nest lineup of smart home products.

Google has finally unveiled the Pixel 7 series of flagship phones and its first-ever smartwatch, the Pixel Watch. At the event, it also showcased the Pixel Tablet, which is scheduled to launch in 2023. Some Pixel fans were waiting for Google to make some announcement on its first foldable phone. Unfortunately, the brand did not say anything about it. However, Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst Ross Young has tipped the launch timeframe of the Pixel foldable.

The official marketing name of the Pixel foldable is not known yet. A report that surfaced at the beginning of this year claimed that it could be called the Pixel Notepad. It further revealed that Google’s first foldable phone will cost less than Samsung’s foldables.

So, when is the Pixel Notepad launching? According to Young, the Pixel foldable is coming in Q1 2023. Unfortunately, he did not share any new information on the specifications of the Pixel Tablet.

The Pixel Notepad (codenamed Pipit) is likely to look like the OPPO Find N foldable phone, which means it may have a smaller design. On the outside, it may feature a 64-megapixel (Sony IMX787) main snapper, a 12-megapixel (Sony IMX386) ultra-wide lens, and a 10.8-megapixel (Samsung S5K3J1) telephoto camera. For selfies, it may feature a 10.8-megapixel (S5K3J1) camera. On the inside, it may feature an 8-megapixel (Sony IMX355) camera.

The Pixel foldable is said to be powered by the Tensor chipset. It is yet to be confirmed whether it will have last year’s Tensor SoC or the new Tensor G2, which powers the Pixel 7 series. It goes without saying that the tablet will offer an Android 13 experience. The device is expected to offer 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of built-in storage.

Although no solid information is available on the Pixel Foldable, aka Pixel Notepad, yet, we can expect to learn more about it on October 6, when Google has scheduled the Pixel 7 series launch.

As for the rumors, the device is said to have a similar form factor 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.

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.

Jeet — Fri, 27 May 2022 05:03:13 +0000

Google‘s upcoming foldable smartphone, dubbed Google Pixel Fold, which is also rumored to get launched as the Pixel Notepad, has reportedly been delayed once again and won’t be available later this year.

Now, the new report coming from analysts Ross Young and Jon Prosser has provided more information about when the Google Pixel Fold smartphone could go official.

As per the report, the upcoming first foldable smartphone from Google has been delayed till spring next year. However, an exact timeline for the launch of the device has not been known yet but we expect more information to emerge in the coming months.

Ross Young claims that the delay in the launch of the smartphone is not because of the display issues but he speculates that the company could be waiting for the next-generation Tensor chipset or some software improvements.

Just a day ago, there was a report claiming that the Google Pixel Fold smartphone won’t be making its debut this year. This is the second time the technology giant has postponed the launch of its first foldable device.

Most of the leading smartphone manufacturers have launched their own foldable smartphones in the market, and Samsung continues to dominate the market. The South Korean giant already has a few generations of foldable phones in the market and is now gearing up to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 in the coming months.

Google Pixel Fold smartphone reportedly gets postponed; not launching this year

Google has been working on its foldable smartphone for the past few years, but the company hasn’t officially confirmed this upcoming device. While most of the leading smartphone makers already have a foldable smartphone, Google is yet to debut its model.

Now, if the latest report is to be believed, then it appears that there will be a long wait before we get to see the Google Pixel Fold smartphone. It is being reported that the company is again postponing the device’s launch.

As per the report, the upcoming Google Pixel Fold, which is also rumored to launch as Google Pixel Notepad, won’t be making its debut anytime this year. The report hasn’t mentioned the new launch timeline for the foldable smartphone.

This is the second time we are hearing about Google planning to cancel or postpone the launch of its first foldable device. Last year, in November, there were rumors about Google canceling the phone over concerns about competition with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip lineup. Later, in January this year, there were reports that the technology giant had made some changes to the phone and is not back on track to get launched.

Google is now said to have again postponed the launch of the Pixel Fold because the company is not happy with the current version of the device. It remains to be seen if the device goes through another round of changes before making a debut sometime next year or if the product gets canceled.

While most of the leading smartphone manufacturers have launched their own foldable smartphones in the market, Samsung continues to dominate the market. The South Korean giant already has a few generations of foldable phones in the market and is now gearing up to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 in the coming months.

The Pixel Notepad is said to target a $1399 price point to offer a more affordable and attractive alternative to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. Now, Ross Young from DSCC has revealed the dimensions of the outer display of the Pixel Notepad. According to Young, the upcoming Pixel Foldable will feature a smaller 5.8-inch outer display.

So unlike the Galaxy Z Fold4’s slim 6.19-inch outer screen, the Pixel foldable will likely come with a wider aspect ratio screen like the OPPO Find N. As we know, the Find N offers an almost square display when unfolded, so the Pixel Notepad is also expected to debut with a similar squarish inner screen.

So far, Google Notepad is said to run on 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.

It will likely debut with the 12.2-megapixel Sony IMX363 primary camera sensor used on the Pixel 5. The device is also rumored to feature a 12MP ultrawide sensor on the rear and can get two 8-megapixel front camera sensors for the outer and the inner display.

A previous report revealed that Google is planning to kick off the production of the upcoming foldable in Q3 2022, so it is likely that the device will debut in Q4 2022 along with the Pixel 7 series.

Google Pixel Notepad foldable smartphone production kicks off in Q3 2022: Report

Sudhanshu — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 13:39:07 +0000

After their success in the premium segment with the Pixel 6 series smartphones, Google is said to be diversifying to capture the budding foldable smartphone market. We first heard of it in January that Google is working on a foldable dubbed the Pixel Notepad which will massively undercut the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 with an attractive price tag in the $1400 range.

Now, according to a NoteBookCheck report, tipster TheGalox_ has informed that the search giant will begin production of the Pixel Notepad foldable smartphone in Q3 2020. The device will debut after the launch of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold4 which will likely launch around August, creating a cheaper alternative in the foldable device segment for markets like the US where most Chinese companies don’t launch their products.

The tipster also states that Google remains committed to targeting the $1399 price point which is hard to fight against for Samsung as their current-gen Galaxy Z Fold3 devices go for $1799.

So far, Google Notepad is said to 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.

The device is also revealed to come in a similar form factor to the Oppo Find N, meaning it will most likely have a square design when unfolded. The camera system of the foldable is rumored to be a downgrade compared to their current Pixel 6 series camera setup and will likely offer the same 12.2-megapixel Sony IMX363 sensor used on the Pixel 5. The device will also feature a 12MP ultrawide sensor on the rear and can get two 8-megapixel front camera sensors on each the other display and the inner display.

So far, there is no word on a launch timeline, but we can expect the device to debut in October when Google usually debuts its new Pixel smartphones.

Google Pixel Notepad foldable smartphone to cost significantly lower than Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

Jeet — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 01:51:27 +0000

Google has been working on its own foldable smartphone, aiming to take a shot at the growing interest for this new form factor in the market. Ahead of the official launch later this year, the phone’s pricing details have been tipped.

The Google Pixel Notepad, which is what the device is expected to end up being called instead of the rumored Google Pixel Fold, is said to have its pricing lower than that of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3.

As per the report from 9to5Google, the upcoming foldable smartphone from Google could be priced around $1,400, which makes it significantly cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 which is priced at $1,800.

If this turns out to be true, then it will be interesting to see Google manage to keep the pricing lower for its first foldable smartphone. Samsung‘s first foldable smartphone was priced much higher and the company managed to bring its price at lower levels after launching a couple of devices.

However, having the device priced around $1,400 is still possible given that the recently launched OPPO Find N costs around $1,200 but Chinese companies are known for cut-throat pricing, a strategy that is usually not adopted by giants like Google and Apple.

Based on the information leak, it doesn’t appear that the company is compromising on the specifications front as the device is expected to come powered by the Google Tensor (GS101) chipset, coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. But the photography experience may get affected as the phone is said to have a downgraded camera setup compared to the Pixel 6 lineup.

It is said that the Google Pixel Notepad will initially launch only in the United States but the device will be released in the international markets by the end of this year. As of now, there’s no information about the launch date but it should get released in Q3 2022.

Google foldable smartphone could be called Pixel Notepad; pricing details tipped

Jeet — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 07:59:41 +0000

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.
