Google is expected to launch its foldable Pixel Fold smartphone soon. The company is reportedly working on its next model in the foldable segment and there have been leaks in that regard. The phone has recently been listed on certain certification sites. Design renders of the Google Pixel Fold were also previously leaked. A new report now suggests the weight and battery capacity of the alleged handset. The phone, which is likely to compete with Samsung and Oppo foldables, is said to be wider and heavier than its rivals.
According to a 9To5Google reportthe Pixel Fold will be heavier than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4, which will likely serve as its main competitor. This could be at least partly because the Pixel Fold could have a bigger battery than the Samsung, the report says.
The exact dimensions of the Pixel Fold were recently announced leakedwith renderings that suggest how Google‘s device will be similar to this Oppo Find N2. The two foldable devices are said to be about the same height at 140mm (5.5 inches), but the Pixel could be 7mm (0.25 inches) wider at just under 80mm (3.14 inches), the report added added.
Until now sighted Codenamed Google Felix on Geekbench, the Pixel Fold is said to be powered by a 2.85GHz octa-core chipset paired with 12GB of RAM. Android 13 should also run on the foldable.
A previous handset design leak suggested that the Pixel Fold will have a metal and glass body that’s said to be “very heavy”. The Pixel Fold could be available in Chalk (white) or Obsidian (black). Google could reportedly be asking $1,799 (around Rs. 1,50,000) for this foldable smartphone. The Pixel Fold is expected to launch alongside the Pixel Tablet in May 2023.
