Google is coming in June with a foldable phone – and it will be expensive
The rumors about a foldable Apple device have been going on for years, but for Google it has already happened. Google is reportedly coming with a foldable phone in June this year.
Read on after the ad.
Google comes with a foldable phone
According to the latest rumors, Google’s first foldable phone will be launched this year. And we may not have to wait long for that: the phone will appear in June. The phone will then be presented as the Pixel Fold. With the launch of the foldable phone, Google is passing Apple in the field of foldable devices.

The Pixel Fold can be folded like a book, making the phone easy to fit in your pocket. Quite a few details about the phone have already been leaked. What do we know so far about Google’s first foldable phone?
Phone gets decent screen and price tag
The phone will have a 7.6-inch screen, which is the same size as the screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. The Pixel Fold is also water resistant and lasts no less than 24 hours. Exactly what tasks you can do with the phone in those 24 hours is still unclear. In any case, it is to be expected that the Pixel Fold will not last 24 hours if you perform heavier tasks such as watching films and series.
Are you planning to buy the Pixel Fold? You then have to put down quite a bit of money, because the phone will have a starting price of no less than $ 1700. Samsung’s foldable devices are about the same price. The price of the device will probably be slightly higher in the Netherlands. It is not yet known whether (and when) the Pixel Fold will also come to the Netherlands.
Apple is also working on a foldable screen
Google is therefore probably ahead of Apple in launching a foldable phone. The rumors about a foldable iPhone, iPad or even MacBook have been going on for years. For example, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects Apple’s foldable device to appear next year, but this is anything but certain. Ross Young, expert on displays, has just said that the device will not arrive until 2026 or 2027.
