The much-anticipated arrival of Google Pixel Fold 2 is slated for later this year, with speculation surrounding its unveiling suggesting potential announcements either in May at the annual developer conference or in October during the customary Pixel phones launch. While a rumor from last month leaned slightly towards the latter timeframe, the exact timing remains uncertain.
When the Google Pixel Fold 2 does make its debut, it is anticipated to feature larger screens compared to its predecessor. According to Ross Young from DSCC, a reputable source of supply-chain information, the internal folding display is expected to measure 8.02 inches, while the external screen will span 6.29 inches diagonally. For context, the original Pixel Fold boasted a 7.6-inch folding screen and a 5.8-inch cover display. Production of the Pixel Fold 2’s panels is scheduled to commence in April, suggesting a potential summer launch at the latest.
Leaked images of the Pixel Fold 2 reveal significant departures from previous Pixel designs, notably featuring a distinct camera island design and a revised aspect ratio—a change long speculated. Notably, the cover screen of the Fold 2 appears longer and narrower than its predecessor, potentially addressing concerns regarding apps opening in landscape mode when unfolded. These design alterations hint at Google’s efforts to enhance user experience and address feedback from the original Pixel Fold.
