New leaked information appears to confirm a surprising redesign of the upcoming Google Pixel Fold 2, revealing further details about the device's shape and size And it appears that the Pixel Fold 2 could be the thinnest foldable to date

The leak was revealed exclusively by SmartPrix, which showed off the first 360-degree video of the Google Pixel Fold 2 and higher quality rendered images From these, we can clearly see that the camera rubber that Google often uses on its devices has been removed and there is a new rectangular replacement on the back We can also see a reduced bezel and changes to the front-facing camera

Google is clearly trying to make the best folding phone, but faces stiff competition

According to SmartPrix, the new cover display measures about 64 inches, which is significantly larger than the 58-inch display of the original Google Pixel Fold and even larger than the 631-inch screen of the OnePlus Open

The Pixel Fold 2 is said to measure 611 x 30 x 041 inches when folded, which is also larger than the original Pixel Fold (55 x 31 x 05 inches) Unfolded, it measures 611 x 591 x 020 inches (62 x 55 x 02 inches for the original), and the inner display is 79 inches, up 03 inches from last year

As can be seen from the table above, the Google Pixel Fold 2 will be thinner when opened and closed compared to the OnePlus Open and Galaxy Z Fold 5 However, the thinness of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 is not yet known

One major change is the placement of the new front camera on the unfolded screen: on the Pixel Fold, the camera was hidden within an enlarged black bar at the edge of the screen In the Pixel Fold 2, however, this bar has been reduced in size, and Google has matched the front camera in both folded and unfolded versions by using the same punch hole design This will undoubtedly result in a much better overall viewing experience

There is currently no information on the specs of the Google Pixel Fold's camera, but it appears that the new rectangular array will feature a triple setup with multiple sensors attached The new square base design has two pill-like protrusions, with the first housing a single camera with two sensors and the second housing two cameras Meanwhile, the flash and microphone appear to be on the side

This new design is quite a departure from the original and shows that Google is very happy to experiment with the foldable range It should be noted that there are still quite a few unknowns about Google's plans, such as which chip the device will use or how much it will cost

We have a good idea of when it will be announced, as Google will likely officially unveil the Pixel Fold 2 at the next Google I/O event, which is said to take place on June 27, 2024
