Finally, after deliberately filtering it out not once, but twice, Google introduced the folding mobile. It is a Pixel Fold that comes in a very appetizing format for those looking for it. a foldable book-style cell phone, but they don’t want a device that’s too big.

The company was at Google I/O when it shared full details of both the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet and Pixel 7a after months of waiting. By the way, we’ve already been able to test this and you have analysis in Xataka, so we’ll concentrate on that now. Everything you need to know about Pixel Fold.

Compact design and tailored software

First things first and The thing that grabs the Pixel Fold’s attention from the first minute is the format.. To compete face-to-face with the OPPO Find N2, it’s moving away from what companies like Samsung are offering with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 or Xiaomi’s MIX Fold 2.

That means we have a folding mobile phone that has it. A large 7.6 inch internal displaybut in a smaller format with an external display with a more traditional aspect ratio and above all easier to grasp with one hand.

As we speak from inside, frames should be highlighted. It’s pretty wide from the top and bottom edges, but there’s a reason: this way Google marks an aspect ratio so that apps are oriented correctly and we don’t have to constantly rotate the phone.

This internal display has a 120 Hz refresh rate., 6:5 aspect ratio (pretty square) and the panel is OLED. If we go external, we have a 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus protection as well as an OLED panel. Speaking of protection, mobile Same IPX8 certification as Galaxy Z Fold 4therefore it is water resistant but not dust resistant.

The design of this screen is very reminiscent of the aforementioned foldable OPPO and promises to be very comfortable when we use the folded mobile. An important thing is that the thickness in the folded mode is 12 millimeters. a profile of only six millimeters when open. Extremely thin, the MIX Fold 2 plays in the league. And it clearly follows the design line of the Pixel 7 Pro.

One thing that is vital in any mobile phone, but even more relevant in a foldable device, is software. High hopes were placed on Google here, and after seeing the presentation, we can say: A drink from Samsung’s work with the Flex mode of folding.

For starters, it integrates a new dual-screen taskbar where you can easily launch apps in a split screen and adapt to a familiar aspect ratio. To put it briefly, as if we had two traditional cell phones connected. In fact, we can copy files from one application to another simply by dragging them.

Moreover, Google adapted most of its applications to work correctly in this larger screen format and has worked with third-party companies like Netflix to optimize their apps.

Moreover Supports use with half-open hinge, so we can place it on a surface to make photo or video calls, with an image on the top half and controls on the bottom half. Moving everything around will be responsible for the Tensor G2, the SoC we’ve seen earlier on the Pixel 7, which its configurations will accompany. 256 and 512GB storage.

Foldable for pixel cameras

Speaking of a Google foldable, We were sure the software wouldn’t be a problem, but we were sure the cameras wouldn’t be a problem either.. While the cameras were the weak spot in the first generations of the fold, they have gradually improved and are at a very good level.

But, Pixel Fold cameras are the best in a foldable mobileOf course, and high goals for both hardware and software, according to Google. In addition to Google’s characteristic processing and options, such as the magic eraser, you can better capture skin tones and other classic Pixel photo software options.

As for the hardware, the main sensor is 48 megapixels optically stabilized (we can get selfies as we see ourselves on the outside screen) and accompanied by a wide angle and A telephoto with 5X optical zoom and 20X digital zoom.

We will have a 9.5 megapixel f / 2.2 camera on the outer screen and an 8 megapixel f / 2.0 camera on the inner screen.

Google Pixel Fold versions, price and launch

Given the Pixel Fold’s specs, it’s time to find out the price and launch details. We’re not going to cheat here: Pixel Fold will come in gold and black colors A price starting at 1,899 euros.

If it seems high to you, you should at least know from launch: you won’t be able to buy it. Reason? It will only be available in the UK, US, Germany and Japan.. We’ll see if they sell later in other regions (something that happened with the Pixel 6, which entered other markets months after the official launch) or if it’s something similar to what happened with the Pixel 5.

In addition to hardware, Google has reinvented Google Maps, revolutionized Google Photos with its new Magic Editor, and Bard will be smarter than ever thanks to the PaLM 2 model. Google threw the rest in this event.
