Rumors are growing that the Google Pixel Fold will debut at Google I/O 2023 However, with specs and leaked hands-on videos giving us a glimpse of what to expect from this phone, it appears that Google's first foldable may be at a disadvantage Certainly compared to Samsung, the current king of the best folding phones

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5 will also be available later this year Aside from having the advantage of several years of experience with foldable phones, spec comparisons point out that the Pixel Fold has some significant drawbacks

One of the main problems with the Google Pixel Fold, according to recent rumors, is that it will be a fairly heavy device; a recent spec leak by Jon Prosser puts the Pixel Fold's weight at 10 oz, which is 895 of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 ounces heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold 5's rumored 895 ounces It is also heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold 4's 928 ounces

The phone is also smaller, with Prosser claiming that the Pixel Fold will measure 55 x 31 x 05 inches when folded, significantly smaller than the Galaxy Z Fold 4 Last year's foldable measured 61 x 51 x 021 inches when unfolded and 062 inches thick when closed However, if Prosser is correct, that means the Pixel Fold could be thinner than the Z Fold 4

The Galaxy Z Fold 5's dimensions are not rumored, but are expected to be similar to the Z Fold 4 However, it may be slightly thinner when folded, possibly due to the possibility of a new "water-drop hinge" Whether that will match the Pixel Fold's rumored 05-inch thickness is not clear at this time

Another major drawback is that the Pixel Fold may be mounted on a display; the cover display would be 58 inches, compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 5's rumored 62 inches The internal display is said to be 76 inches, the same as the one that is said to be on the Z Fold 5, but the Pixel Fold is likely to feature very thick bezels

The bezels have been confirmed in leaked renderings and a purported hands-on video Doing a bit of simple math, assuming the rumored dimensions are correct, the unfolding Pixel Fold should have a diagonal dimension of 838 inches, which for a 76-inch display would mean over a half-inch of extra space

Some of that space would be used to hide the internal selfie cam, but the rest would just sit there For comparison, the Z Fold 4 is roughly 79 inches in the same orientation, leaving just 03 inches of unused space around the display

The Pixel Fold is expected to debut at Google I/O on May 10 Other expected specs include 120Hz refresh rates on both displays, 256GB and 512GB of storage, 12GB of RAM, Tensor G2 chipset, fingerprint sensor inside the camera button, 24 hours on a single charge (with extreme battery saver mode on (72 hours with extreme battery saver mode turned on) on a single charge

The rear camera reportedly consists of a 48MP main lens (f/17), a 108MP ultra-wide angle lens (f/22), and a 108MP telephoto lens (f/305) with a 5x optical zoom and up to 20z super res zoom The outer display will reportedly feature a 995MP (f/22) selfie camera in a hole-punch design, while the inner display will reportedly feature an 8MP (f/20) selfie camera hidden in the bezel
