A Google foldable has been in the news for some time now and today the company finally introduced one. The Pixel Fold was launched during the Google I/O conference earlier today. It debuts with a compact form factor that distinguishes it from Samsung’s Z Fold lineup. The foldable gets a durable hinge and is powered by the Tensor G2 chip under the hood. There’s a triple camera setup on the rear, headlined by a 48MP main sensor.

Google Pixel Fold Specs & Features

Before we lay down the specifications, let’s go through its design. The Pixel Fold gets a small form factor and its rear looks very similar to Pixel 7 Pro. There’s a glossy glass back panel and a shiny camera bar. However, the camera bar is not edge-to-edge and it looks like a large bump. On the front, you get thick but symmetrical bezels that also house the front camera. The foldable is using a new teardrop hinge mechanism to minimize the visible display crease.

Moving to the specs, the Pixel Fold gets a 5.8-inch 120Hz OLED cover screen with a 2092×1080 resolution and a 7.6-inch OLED foldable display with a 2208×1840 resolution. It packs Google’s in-house Tensor G2 chipset, similar to the latest Pixel 7 series. It is offered with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS3.1 internal memory.

For photography, the device features a 48MP f/1.7 main camera, a 10.8MP f/3.05 5x zoom telephoto camera, a 10.8MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera with a 121.1-degree field of view, and a 9.5MP f/2.2 outer selfie shooter. There’s also an 8MP f/2.0 inner selfie camera. The device packs a large 4,821mAh battery, which is more than what the competition offers. It supports both wired and wireless charging.

Price & Availability

The Pixel Fold will be available in the US with a starting price tag of $1,799. The 512GB variant will cost you whopping $1,919. It will be offered in Obsidian and Porcelain colors and can be pre-ordered starting today at the Google Store. Those who’ll pre-order will get a free Google Pixel Watch worth $349.
