Pixel Fold: We may see the first folding smartphone from Google this year

Folding devices have been available on the smartphone market for several years, but they are still a relatively new segment. Several manufacturers are trying to develop such devices, but the segment is currently dominated by Samsung with the Z Fold and Z Flip series. Recent reports suggest that Google may be joining the Pixel Fold device soon. The Gizchin portal informed about the news.

Pixel Fold was codenamed Passport

Google recently released the latest beta version of the new Android 12 system. In the Google Camera app, which is available in this version of the system, developers have found four code names for new devices – Oriole, Raven, Passport, Slider. Oriole and Raven correspond to the devices from the Pixel 6 series, which will be released this autumn.

However, there are reports that Passport indicates the company’s upcoming folding smartphone, which will be named Google Pixel Fold. Other reports say Google could introduce the model in the fall of this year along with the Pixel 6 series. It appears to be powered by a new chipset from Google and will have the same cameras as the Pixel 6. This suggests that Pixel Fold will bring top cameras to the world of smartphones.
