Best smartphones in 2021 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 vs. Galaxy Z Flip 3: How do these foldables compare?Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro: Price, release date, specs, and all the latest details
Notable tipster Yogesh Brar shared details with 91Mobiles, with sources stating there is no launch period set for the foldable yet, and there’s a chance Google may announce the Pixel Fold during the Pixel 6 launch event later this year. Google’s next flagship phone is expected to launch sometime in mid-October. Earlier this year, display industry insider Ross Young leaked that the Pixel Fold would be among the 2021 foldable launches, including from Oppo and Xiaomi. With the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro projected to be the tech giant’s biggest launch of the year, however, Google may not want to divert attention by launching its first foldable alongside its flagship lineup. Google’s custom Tensor chip is expected to be used in the Pixel Fold, while modder cstrack27 found three codenames relating to Google’s upcoming Pixel devices that could sport the same modem. In the tweet, it lists Oriole, Raven and Passport, which are codenames for the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel Fold, respectively. The “g5123b” codename is expected to be a Samsung 5G modem. With the “Passport” codename being mentioned along with the codenames for the next Pixel smartphones, that’s a good sign the Pixel Fold is getting identical technology. While Google is tightlipped about its Pixel Fold, it will already see competition with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 once it launches. Of course, take this all with a pinch of salt, as the tech giant has yet to officially announce the Pixel Fold (or whatever it may be called). While we wait for an announcement, check out our thoughts on Google’s latest smartphone launch, the Google Pixel 5a.
