Google‘s inaugural Pixel Fold debuted with a unique, compact design that set it apart in the foldable smartphone market. However, new leaks suggest that the upcoming Pixel Fold 2 will depart from its predecessor’s form factor in favor of significantly larger displays.

While the original Pixel Fold’s pocketable design was a charm, a new leak suggests that Google could be changing it’s approach for form factor with the Pixel Fold 2. 

Fold 2’s early renders hinted that the smartphone will debut with a 6.4-inch outer display. But accordible to analyst Ross Young (DSCC), the phone will actually be slightly smaller at 6.29 inches.

While still a notable upgrade from the original’s 5.8-inch screen, the size aligns with more mainstream foldable offerings. However, the real expansion looks to be in the internal display.

Young suggests the Pixel Fold 2 will feature an 8.02-inch foldable screen, a substantial increase from its predecessor’s 7.6-inches display. Such a screen real estate will put the Pixel Fold 2 in competition with devices like OnePlus Open which features a 6.31-inch outer display and a 7.82-inch inner display.

Google could be increasing its next foldable size with due to several factors. Firstly, a more expansive foldable screen would significantly improve multitasking and media consumption, making the Pixel Fold 2 a true productivity and entertainment powerhouse. 

Additionally, Google could be aiming to address a key criticism of the original Fold – its narrow, cramped feeling when unfolded. While the increased size seem to be a noticeable change in the Pixel Fold 2, there’s still much detail that’s under wraps for now.

Rumors suggest the device will be powered by Google’s Tensor G4 processor, and Young suggests that the displays production is slated to begin in April. That hints at a release timeframe for sometime in fall, though the exact time is still uncertain.

The post Google Pixel Fold 2 display sizes leaked, suggesting larger design appeared first on Gizmochina.

A recent report carried a leaked image of the prototype unit of the upcoming Google Pixel Fold 2. The image reveals that the device will not sport the horizontal camera visor that Google has offered on its Pixel phones for the past few years. Now, SmartPrix has teamed up with prominent leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka OnLeaks) to share the CAD renders of the Pixel Fold 2. The new images give a good look at the renewed design of Google’s second-generation Pixel Fold.

Google PIxel Fold 2 renders

The CAD renders showcase the Charcoal variant of the Pixel Fold 2. According to the report, it will feature a display with a diagonal measurement of 7.9 inches. When including the rounded corners, the screen size is likely closer to 8.1 inches. The outer screen size is said to be 6.4 inches, and with the corners included, its size goes up to 6.6 inches.

The report states that the Pixel Fold 2 measures 155.2 x 150.2 x 5.27mm in the unfolded state and 152 x 77.1 x 10.54mm in the folded state.

In comparison, the Pixel Fold measures 139.7 x 158.7 x 5.8mm when unfolded. When folded, the device measured 139.7 x 79.5 x 12.1mm. So, it can be said that Fold 2 has not only increased in size but has also become thinner than the previous generation.

The left side of the Pixel Fold 2 is barren, and its right panel has a volume rocker and a power button. The top edge of the device has an antenna band along with a speaker, whereas the bottom is populated with a USB-C port, a speaker, a microphone, and a SIM slot. A rectangle camera module that appears to house a triple camera system, an LED flash, and a microphone has replaced the rear-facing horizontal camera bar.

The report has no information on the other specs of the Pixel Fold 2. Previous reports have claimed that it may feature the Tensor G4 or an overclocked version of the Tensor G3. It is expected to come with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, and Pixie AI assistant. The Pixel Fold was announced at the Google I/O 2023 in May last year. However, there is no clarity on whether the device will be unveiled at I/O 2024 this year.

The post Google Pixel Fold 2 CAD renders emerge, showcases redesigned camera module appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, a sneak peek of Google’s upcoming Pixel Fold 2 leaked, but it wasn’t very clear. However, new 3D renders from YouTuber TT Technology provides a much clearer look at the device. However, do note that this is only a 3D representation based on the earlier leak and may not reflect the actual device.

In these renders, we can see a noticeable change in the design of the camera module. The Pixel Fold 2 will have a rectangular module rather than the bar-style design of the original model.

The camera sensors are housed within a pill-shaped cutout on this module, and there’s also an LED light that extends slightly to the right. Additionally, the device has squared-off edges.

Regarding the camera setup, the Pixel Fold 2 is expected to feature a quad-camera system, including primary, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses. There’s speculation about the purpose of the fourth sensor, with possibilities like a periscope telephoto lens or an infrared/spectral/ToF sensor.

Moreover, the Pixel Fold 2 is said to be powered by the upcoming Tensor G4 chipset which means Google will be skipping the Tensor G3 chipset for its foldable. This may also change the launch timeline for the smartphone. 

Typically, Google unveils new Tensor chipsets at its fall hardware event. But if the Pixel Fold 2 is launched at this year’s I/O event, it might not feature the newer Tensor G4. 

However, if I/O passes without a Pixel Fold 2 launch, skipping Tensor G3 isn’t out of the question. It would make sense for Google’s most expensive device to have its latest chip inside, but this is currently just a rumor.

At the moment, we lack details about the Pixel Fold 2, but we can expect rumors to start circulating about the device soon.

The post Here’s your first look at the Google Pixel Fold 2 3D renders appeared first on Gizmochina.

In a recent report, Android Authority, citing an anonymous source, revealed key details about the chipset, RAM, and launch timeframe of the Google Pixel Fold 2. In a new report, the publication has leaked an image of what seems to be an early version of the Pixel Fold 2. The image that has been obtained from the same source reveals that the device will sport a refreshed design.

Purported Google Pixel Fold 2’s design revealed

The dimensions of the Pixel Fold 2 are not known yet, but the source revealed that its internal display has a squarish appeal. It means Fold 2’s form factor could be slightly narrower than its predecessor. To sum up the form factor, its dimensions could be similar to those of the OnePlus Open, which measures 153.4 x 143.1 x 5.8mm when unfolded.

Google has used the horizontal camera bar design since the Pixel 6 series debuted in 2019. The image of the early version of Fold 2 from the Engineering Validation Test EVT stage shows that it has a camera island at the upper-left corner. It appears to have four cameras, such as a main camera, an ultra-wide snapper, a periscope telephoto camera, and an unknown lens.

It is unclear whether the fourth sensor is a camera, a flicker sensor, or an FIR thermometer sensor for measuring the temperature of the skin or object. The camera island also includes a microphone and an LED flash.

The source revealed that while the overall feel of the Pixel 2 will be similar to its predecessor, its design elements could be similar to the Pixel 9 series. Like the outer screen, the inner display is said to have rounded corners and a top-right corner-positioned punch hole. In addition, it will also have an aluminium frame. The source also added that the internal screen is quite noticeable. It appears that the device will be thinner than before.

Reports suggest that the Pixel Fold 2 may launch by October this year. Since the rumored launch is a couple of months away, it is advisable to digest the leak with a pinch of salt. As far as specs are concerned, the device is expected to feature a Tensor G3 or G4 chipset, 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, and Pixel AI assistant.
