It took Google a few years to break into the foldable phone market, but it finally did so in May last year With Google Pixel Fold. The device came with a slim body with the best styling of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, but retained several design elements characteristic of the Pixel series.

One of these elements was the photo module, which, despite housing the cameras in a sort of island shape, was not much different from the other offerings in the family. Now the future Google Pixel Fold 2 may come with a significant change, at least in this department According to leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (OnLeaks).

Google Pixel Fold 2 and its featured camera module

As Smartprix points out, since the Pixel 6, the Google family of phones has maintained a certain identity in the photography department, including its foldable feature. Beyond some design changes to the module, the sensors were always placed side by side. on the horizontal line. It’s about changing.

The rendered image of the Google Pixel Fold 2 shared by OnLeaks shows a foldable phone with a noticeably different rear. It highlights a huge module that brings the triple camera configuration to life. At the top of it you can see a photo sensor and a few additional holes.

If we focus on the bottom of the module, we find two aligned photo sensors. Similarly, the module probably has another hole for the microphone and flash. If we guide it first generationThe device must have a main sensor, wide-angle and telephoto.

But there are more changes to come. The images suggest that the Google Pixel Fold 2 will be larger than the Pixel Fold. The outer panel will increase from 5.8 inches to 6.4 inches, and the inner panel will increase from 7.6 inches to 7.9 inches. In this case, the folded phone will have dimensions of 155.2 x 77.1 x 10.54 mm, compared to 139.7 x 79.5 x 12.1 mm of the original generation.

It’s worth noting that OnLeaks’ renderings are based on information obtained from its industry sources. In addition to renders, image of the so-called Google Pixel Fold 2 An image paying curious homage to the design brought to us by OnLeaks began circulating at the beginning of this month.

The Google Pixel Fold 2 has not been announced yet, but Google is expected to make its existence official this year. For reference, the company presented details of the original model at Google I/O in May 2023. This year’s event is planned to be held in June. We have to wait to hear more.
