Google's first Pixel Fold made a mark in the foldable smartphone market with its unique and compact design. However, recent leaks indicate that the upcoming Pixel Fold 2 will deviate from its predecessor's design to feature significantly larger displays.
Changes in Design
The original Pixel Fold's compact design was well-received, but leaks now suggest that Google is opting for a different approach with the Pixel Fold 2. Early renders of the Fold 2 hinted at a 6.4-inch outer display, but according to analyst Ross Young, the actual size will be slightly smaller at 6.29 inches.
Display Details
Contrary to initial leaks, Young reveals that the Pixel Fold 2 will sport an 8.02-inch foldable display and a 6.29-inch cover display. This shift in size marks a significant upgrade from the original model and places the Pixel Fold 2 in line with mainstream foldable offerings.
Potential Improvements
The larger foldable screen of 8.02 inches in the Pixel Fold 2 promises enhanced multitasking and media consumption experiences, potentially making it a versatile device for productivity and entertainment. Addressing concerns about the original Fold's cramped feel when unfolded, Google seems to be focusing on creating a more spacious user experience.
Future Prospects
Speculations suggest that the Pixel Fold 2 might be equipped with Google's Tensor G4 processor, and the production of displays is expected to commence in April. While a fall release is anticipated, specific details about the launch timeline remain undisclosed.
