Google’s Pixel Fold is a foldable device that has been in the news for the past several months. Again, the smartphone has been in the rumor mill. And this time, Google’s Pixel Fold will be coming with a similar aspect ratio as the Oppo Find N. It is also priced lower than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series.
However, all of that seemed to dissipate when Ross Young from the Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) stated that the project was dead in November of last year. The device may be back on track, though, as he’s now tweeted more information about what to expect from its display — and even when it may launch.
According to Ross Young, “Z Fold 4 and Google foldable will have similar-sized foldable displays, but the Google cover display will be quite a bit smaller at 5.8’; this should mean it will have a wider aspect ratio than the Samsung 6.19” Fold 4. Hear more at our conference next week.”

The biggest takeaway from Young’s tweet is that Google’s “Pixel Fold” foldable handset should arrive in Q4 of 2022. Its launch could potentially be shortly after Android 13, with the platform update having been shown to offer better support for foldable devices. Even more reasonable is its rumored price point, which has been reported to be much lower than its competitors at $1400. That would make it $400 less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, $400 more than the Galaxy Z Flip 3, but $800 more than the cheapest Google Pixel 6.
The Google foldable smartphone comes with a smaller cover display that may be 5.8-inches in size. However, Samsung’s 6.2-inch cover display for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the exact length is rumored for the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It is said to come with a wider aspect ratio, similar to what we have seen on the Oppo Find N.
