Google Might Surprise The World With The Launch of Pixel Fold Along With Pixel 6 Lineup

We have seen the launch of many foldable smartphones since the first introduction of foldable smartphones a couple of years ago. Recently, we have witnessed a launch of the 3rd generation Fold & Flip smartphone from Samsung during the Galaxy Unpacked 2021 all-virtual event. Now it looks like Google wants to join the foldable smartphone makers camp with the rumoured forthcoming Google Pixel Fold, which is expected to be launching this year.

Previously, Google has teased us with an early launch of its upcoming flagship smartphone lineup, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which will feature the custom-made Tensor SoC, the first system-on-chip designed by Google. The popular American multinational technology company, Google is not known for significant hardware innovation, so stepping into a foldable smartphone camp would be an excellent achievement for the brand.

Google recently launched the Android 12 Beta 4, and the developers find reference to five different Google devices, codenamed Oriole, Raven, Passport, Slider, in its camera application, while the fifth device is still unknown. The codenames Oriole and Raven are believed to be for Google’s upcoming devices, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, whereas the Passport is expected to be the codename for the Google Pixel Fold.

According to the trusted tipsters and leaked reports, along with Google Pixel 6 lineup, the rumoured Google Pixel Fold will also sport the custom-made Tensor SoC. The rumoured Pixel Fold smartphone will be borrowing the camera system of Google Pixel 6 for better camera optimization. Also, as per some of the reports, Google is ordering the same flexible OLED displays and UTG glass used on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3.

The upcoming Google Pixel Fold’s display can scale up to 120Hz, and the design of Google’s first foldable smartphone might look like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. The premium smartphone is expected to be launched in 2022, but there are chances where Google might launch the Pixel Fold along with the Pixel 6 and Pixel Pro, and if the second probability appears, then 2021 would witness a great rivalry of foldable smartphones.

Google Will Launch Pixel 6 Lineup With Custom-made Tensor SoC

Google recently teased the world with an early launch of its upcoming flagship smartphone lineup, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Google’s next-generation Pixel 6 lineup will ditch the regular Qualcomm SoC and feature the custom Tensor SoC, the first system-on-chip designed by Google. The new SoC announcement marks Google’s entry into the list of companies developing custom-based silicon chips.

The yet to debut Tensor SoC is custom-designed and features artificial intelligence (AI) along with more robust machine learning (ML) capabilities for better integration, which is completely new for the Pixel phones. The newly designed SoC by Google will make the upcoming Pixel 6 lineup the fastest, smartest and most secure Pixel phone yet.

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro features an all-new aggressive design, and after a very long period, the company has come up with a fresh design. There’s a band on the back of the Pixel 6 lineup phones, which adds more decency to the lineup. The camera bump gets a shiny treatment in both smartphones, and the display is somewhat curved along the edges.

The Pixel 6 smartphone will feature a new camera system with wide and ultra-wide cameras, while the Pixel 6 Pro will emphasise the same features as the Pixel 6 with one additional camera of a 4x telephoto lens. The Pixel 6 lineup will have a single hole punch camera at the top of the display. The Pixel 6 will feature a 90 Hz display and the Pixel 6 Pro will feature a 120 Hz display.

Google hasn’t revealed any specs related to the size of the Pixel 6 lineup yet, but looking at the size of the Pixel 6 Pro, it seems pretty similar to the size of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The new custom made sensor could be the game-changer for Google smartphones, as the company was struggling to compete with other smartphone makers mainly because of the chipset.

The new design, custom made SoC and pre-installed Android 12, will help Google Pixel 6 lineup in showcasing what they are capable of. The pricing of the Pixel 6 lineup is not revealed yet but we can expect them to be priced between 45,000 to 55,000. The Pixel 6 smartphones will be launched later this year in at least eight countries, including India.
