Google IO 2023: Google launches its first foldable phone, Pixel Fold
Google Pixel Fold has been in the news for years now. However, so far, the company has shied away from giving its plans a more concrete form. But this year at its developers’ conference, dubbed as the Google I/O 2023, the company launched its first ever foldable display smartphone, dubbed as the Google Pixel Fold. The newly launched Pixel Fold features a notebook like form factor in a design that is similar to what we have seen in the Pixel 6 series and Pixel 7 series design. It is powered by the company’s Tensor G2 system-on-chip (SoC) and it runs the Android 13 OS.
While a foldable device by Google is definitely a curiosity generator, Pixel Fold is not alone in the notebook style foldable space. It faces stiff competition from the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, which is an established name in the foldables market, and Tecno Phantom V 5G, which provides notebook like foldable experience on a budget. That said, Pixel Fold comes with a ton of new and exciting features. Check out the details here.
