On March 10, Google celebrates its great annual developer conference, the Google I / O. The anticipation is high because Google is expected to introduce several new tools related to artificial intelligence, the hot topic of 2023 and one in which, despite controlling many of the key technologies, Google has had the odd stumble.
But as usual at the event, it is very likely that Google will also present several devices as a complement to these tools and the wave of rumors and leaked videos suggest that among them is the company’s first folding smartphone, the Pixel Fold. Some of the technical details of the terminal have been known for a month, such as its screen format, its weight and dimensions, the photo sensor it will have or the processor.
Now, in addition, there is a video of the device that has been leaked on Twitter and that shows the hinge mechanism that the terminal will use.
Although the phone in the video is working, the screen has been blacked out and out of focus to prevent the unit, likely a final prototype, from being identified.
The new Pixel will follow the same design philosophy as other foldables like Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, but with slightly different proportions. It is more flattened and extensive than its rival. There is a 5.8-inch exterior screen and the interior, folding, will have 7.6 inches and 120 Hz refresh rate.
Coinciding with the event, the company is expected to launch other devices as well. The Pixel 7a, for example, seems assured. It is, as in previous years, a more affordable version of the Pixel 7 that hit the market a few months ago. It will use the same Tensor G2 chip as the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, will support wireless charging, and will bet on a 12-megapixel wide-angle main camera. Google also has a new tablet ready, the Pixel Tablet, which had already been announced but without an exact marketing date and no final specifications. It is very likely that Google will also take advantage of the event to clarify the price and show the device working for the first time.
With these announcements, Google’s catalog will be quite ambitious this year, especially considering that all Pixel devices will use Tensor processors, developed internally by the company.
