Folding phones are becoming a trend. Without going any further, yesterday we showed you the design of Motorola’s new Razr 3. We also know that Google is working on its own product, but Pixel Fold or Pixel Notebook (name unknown) has experienced a new delay. And we won’t see that until 2023.
As reported by colleagues at 9to5Google, well-known analyst, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants and Ross Young, a very reliable source in the industry, stated that Google’s next foldable phone has been delayed until spring 2023. Google I/O will be available in 2023.
What we know about Google’s folding phone
Google’s initial idea was to offer this product in the first half of 2022.. The Mountain View-based giant was aiming to launch this foldable screen phone during Google I/O 2022, but failed to do so in time.
Now, The expected Pixel Fold has experienced a new delay. Reason? It did not meet the standards set by Google for this product. It should be noted that the Big G is one of the main players in the folding industry.
No, at the moment Google has not released its own folding phone, but it has been very supportive of Samsung with its Fold series, as well as adapting it to adopt Android L to be compatible with the features offered by this type of display that can be opened. different sizes.
Google says the future of folding smartphones is very clear
And of course Google, courtesy of its Korean ally, wants its first folding phone to be the biggest benchmark in the industry, so they want the Pixel Fold or Pixel NotePad to shine in its own light.
As for the type of display you’ll be using, everything points to: It will be the same panel that will mount the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, however, this information still needs to be confirmed. Also, Samsung is having trouble obtaining the necessary components, so the release of the Pixel Fold may have been delayed for this reason as well.
Finally, we have a new appointment with Google in the fall to officially present its smartwatch, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones, so there’s still a glimmer of hope to see its first folding smartphone.
All we can do now is to be patient and hope this phone launches soon and at a reasonable price.
