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.
Design Changes
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.
Camera Setup
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.
Tensor G4 Chipset
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.
Conclusion
At the moment, we lack details about the Pixel Fold 2, but we can expect rumors to start circulating about the device soon.
