Faced with stiff competition this year for Google in the mobile landscape (with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the future iPhone 15), the company could not sit idly by. Now, we know that Silicon Valley will launch its first foldable mobile next June.
Known internally as Felix, the future Pixel Fold will include quite interesting features. At the moment, it will feature a 5.8-inch screen that can be extended to 7.6 inches. In addition, it will feature the strongest hinge that we can find in a foldable phone today.
It will feature the Tensor G2 chip, which is the same one that mounts the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, Google’s current top of the range. As Apple does with its chips, the Tensor chips are designed and manufactured by Google itself (specifically, the Google Research division). Google’s goal with this SoC is to focus squarely on artificial intelligence and its uses (photographic enhancements, real-time translation, etc).
As if that were not enough, the Pixel Fold promises to give us an autonomy of 24 hours (with the possibility of exceeding 72 hours if we use it in low power mode).Its price? Although we do not know the official amount, we do know that it will exceed the barrier of 1,500 euros.
To boost sales of the device, Google will offer discounts to all those who want to exchange their old terminal for the Pixel Fold. According to CNBC, Google is also thinking of giving away a Pixel Watch, the latest smartwatch they have released.
Google and Samsung, fights?
The future release of the Pixel Fold comes against a rather critical backdrop for Samsung‘s recent actions. Shares of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, fell this week on claims that Samsung may replace Google with Bing as the search engine on its devices.
