Google Pixel Fold 2 Leaks Hint at Larger Display and Sleeker Design

Google's upcoming Pixel Fold 2 is making waves in the tech sphere, with recent leaks suggesting substantial improvements over its predecessor. Industry analyst Ross Young, now with Counterpoint Research, has shared insights hinting at significant upgrades, particularly in terms of screen size.

Initial rumors speculated a 7.9-inch inner foldable screen for the Pixel Fold 2. However, Young's latest revelations suggest an even larger 8.02-inch inner flexible panel, a notable jump from the 7.6-inch OLED display of the first-gen Pixel Fold.

Moreover, previous estimates for the cover screen size have been adjusted to 6.29 inches, still a significant improvement over the predecessor's 5.8-inch outer display. The Pixel Fold 2's design has also undergone refinements, featuring flattened sides and a sleek profile inspired by OnePlus Open aesthetics. Trimmed bezels and a two-tone appearance are expected to enhance its overall appeal.

Rumors suggest that the Pixel Fold 2 could set new standards for slimness in its segment, with a rumored profile as thin as 10.54mm. Speculation also surrounds the adoption of the next-gen Tensor G4 chip by Google, promising enhanced performance.

While details about the Pixel Fold 2's camera and internal hardware are still under wraps, the anticipated upgrades hint at a potential price increase. Tech enthusiasts eagerly await further information as Google gears up to unveil its latest foldable device.

Last year, Google introduced its inaugural foldable smartphone, the Google Pixel Fold, during its I/O developer conference. With a foldable design reminiscent of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series, the Pixel Fold was priced at $1,799, marking Google's entry into the foldable smartphone market.
