The Pixel Fold: Rumors Confirmed

The Google Pixel Fold is finally announced, at a weird time at that. With only a few days left before the Google I/O event, their newest phone has been made official. Rumors have been spreading for a while now, and now we finally see that all the suspicions were correct.

The new Pixel Fold resembles the Samsung Fold 4, which folds from a thick normal phone to a small tablet. Although no specs have been announced by Google, NBC reported back in April that it would be a 5.8-inch phone that transforms into a 7.6-inch tablet when unfolded. This phone would also carry the G2 Google Tensor chip, and in addition, have “the most durable hinge on a foldable”. Now, the worst part is that it also will have a price tag above $1,700. That is at least twice the current price for the baseline iPhone 14. This was expected, with its main competitor being the Samsung Fold 4, costing $1,799 at launch. Despite the horrific price that no average user will be able to be okay with, it is nice to see the foldable market having a new player. Although the iPhone Fold is at least a long way away from happening (if ever), it is great to see this new market flourish with new faces.
