The next Pixel Fold 2 device is already in the works and we had previously come across the render images that showcases its design aspects. Now, the 5K CAD-based renders and the 360° video of this upcoming foldable has been shared online (thanks to Smartprix and @OnLeaks).

Here’s more about it.

Google Pixel Fold 2 – Render Images and 360° Video

Firstly, this newly shared render images and 360° video perfectly aligns with the previous images, further revealing more about its design and features. This device will be larger when compared to the previous generation model with larger inner and cover displays. The inner display is said to measure 7.9″(8.1″ with corners), while the cover display is 6.4″(6.6″ with corners). Notably, there is the right side-aligned punch-hole selfie camera on the inner display, whereas the cover screen features a centrally-aligned punch-hole front camera. In total, the device is pointed out to measure 155.2 x 77.1 x 10.54 mm in size when folded and 155.2 x 150.2 x 5.27 mm when unfolded.

Coming to the rear, as was noted earlier, instead of the horizontal camera visor, a protruding rectangular-shaped camera module is present. The recent report also states that there are only 3 cameras, along with some sensors at the rear. The LED flashlight is also placed within the camera module.

On the right side panel, as always there is the power button and volume rocker, and at the bottom we can spot the microphone holes, speaker grilles, USB-type-C port, and the card tray. On top, speaker grilles and an antenna band are present.

Speaking about its expected specifications, the Tensor G4 chipset, up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, Android 14 operating system, and 7-years of software updates are being anticipated.

Regarding its launch, it is mentioned to take place on the 27th of June 2024 at the brand’s I/O developer conference event as per the recent report. However, considering the Tensor G4 chipset presence, previous reports stated that the launch could be likely in the month of October 2024, along with the Pixel 9 series devices.

Reports regarding the next Google Pixel Fold 2 smartphone are being shared now and following the previous leaked image, the 3D render of the device have been revealed. The possible camera sensors that might be on the device have also been tipped.

Here’s more about it.

Google Pixel Fold 2 – 3D Render and Possible Camera Sensors

This 3D render of the Pixel Fold 2 is based on the previous leaked image itself, and points to all the notable design elements that were noted earlier. There is the projected rectangular-shaped camera module with rounded edges housing four camera sensors, an LED flash, and a microphone hole. The device also appears narrower than its predecessor in the 3D render too

This update also suggests that the four camera sensors could be wide, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses, along with an unknown fourth camera sensor. However, the previous update pointed to a periscope telephoto lens, whereas the fourth sensor maybe an infrared sensor, spectral/flicker sensor, or a ToF sensor.

Other design features such as the rounded and premium inner and cover displays, on-screen camera for the inner display, and an aluminum frame were also mentioned in the previous update. The next Pixel Fold 2 is also said to arrive equipped with the brand’s Tensor G4 chipset and will support a 16GB higher RAM option.

As far as the launch is concerned, based on the expected processor that could be used on the upcoming device, unlike the Pixel Fold which debuted in May 2023, the Pixel Fold 2 may only be coming in the month of October 2024 with the Pixel 9 series smartphones.

Google’s Pixel Fold was unveiled last year in the month of May and reports have already started to arrive about the next second generation Pixel Fold – the expected Google Pixel Fold 2. Previously, we came across a few hardware details of the device and now, an early test unit of the device has been shared online (thanks to Android Authority). A few design aspects are now known and when compared to the Pixel Fold, its successor might be coming with some significant design changes.

Read more about it below.

Google Pixel Fold 2 – Leaked Engineering Validation Test Device

The image of the upcoming Pixel Fold 2 device that is now available is the engineering validation test device and even if it’s long far away from the final stage device, some of the significant design changes that can be expected on the brand’s next foldable have been revealed.

Firstly to speak of its overall form factor design, the new Pixel Fold 2 might be narrower when compared to its predecessor. The previous Pixel Fold is wider than any other horizontal foldable device on the market and appeared more like a tablet when unfolded. While this made the multi-tasking experience of the Pixel Fold much more easier and comfortable, this also created an app incompatibility issue as most applications are still not well-designed for tablets. This problem is going to be resolved with the Pixel Fold 2’s narrower design.

The second design change is with its camera module. From the candy-bar camera module that we have seen on most Pixel devices, the upcoming Pixel foldable is revealed to adopt a rectangular-shaped camera island (projected with rounded edges) housing four camera sensors, an LED flashlight, and a microphone hole. Regarding the four camera sensors, three are expected to be the primary-wide, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto cameras, while the fourth can be an infrared sensor for measuring temperature, spectral/flicker sensor, or a ToF sensor.

While the image doesn’t give any idea about the inner foldable display, the report has pointed out that, unlike the Pixel Fold which incorporated the selfie camera into the top bezel, the Pixel Fold 2 will probably be placing it at the top-right corner of the display. To add, the inner and cover displays are also said to be more rounded and premium with a possible aluminum frame, resembling the Pixel 9 series.

As mentioned, this is the engineering validation test unit and in the process of getting to the final stage, there may be changes made from the brand’s side. However, the overall design may remain the same.

Regarding the hardware update, it was also reported that the Pixel Fold 2 is suggested to use the Tensor G4 chipset and a higher RAM of 16GB. Considering the latest Tensor G4 to be onboard means that the Pixel Fold 2 is likely to launch in October 2024 along with the Pixel 9 series smartphones, rather than in May 2024.

Foldable smartphones have currently become the new trend in the industry. Most of the brands have already introduced their foldables, last year also many foldable devices made their debut in the industry. Google also introduced its first foldable device- Pixel Fold last year in the month of May at its I/O event.

Now the brand is said to be working on its next foldable device- Pixel Fold 2 which is suspected to debut later this year. Now ahead of its rumored launch Android Authority in their recent report revealed some key details about the upcoming Pixel Fold 2.

Pixel Fold 2: Key details revealed

Google Pixel Fold was powered by the company’s in-house Tensor G2 chipset but Google’s upcoming foldable is revealed to not be arriving with the same chipset. According to the report, Pixel Fold 2 is powered with a chipset codenamed “zumapro” based on the EVT unit which is suspected to be a Tensor G4 chipset as Tensor G3 arrives with the codename “zuma”. Also, it is said that due to the shift in the chipset, Pixel Fold 2 could arrive a little later than it’s predecessor. This means that instead of launching in May, the upcoming foldable device could debut alongside Pixel 9 series which is expected to arrive in October this year.

About the Tensor G4 chipset, not much has been revealed yet but it is expected that it might arrive with modest improvements over the Tensor G3 chipset that made its debut last year. Apart from the new chipset, Pixel Fold 2 is also revealed to feature 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage.
