More Google Pixel Fold specs leak: It looks like a real contender for Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold

We just heard a leak that the Pixel Fold is coming to Google I/O, and we’re still hearing more, including camera and screen specs. This comes from a new leak Front Page Tech through 9to5Google And reveals what appear to be most of the specifications of Google’s upcoming foldable device. The good news is that it looks like there will be a nice camera system bundled in, along with high-resolution screens inside and out. But since this is just a leak, we have no idea how anything works yet.

A YouTube video hosted by Jon Prosser shares additional information about the Pixel Fold’s specifications that we didn’t already have. CNBC Leaked this week. For instance, while we heard that the Fold will have a 5.8-inch front display, it appears to be an FHD+ OLED display with a 17.4:9 aspect ratio and 120Hz refresh rate. The display inside will also be OLED with a 6:5 aspect ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate. By comparison, Samsung’s Z Fold 4 6.2 inches on the outside with a 23.1:9 aspect ratio and 21.6:18 aspect ratio on the inside. It will be interesting to see how Google’s work on the Android source code will handle the differences between these two specific setups. Samsung runs OneUI with its software tweaks for foldables, but Google has made a big deal about the scalability of stock Android over the past few years.

We also get a glimpse into the camera. The Pixel Fold will have a 48-MP primary camera on the back with f/1.7 aperture, OIS and 82-degree field of view. There also appears to be a 10.8-MP ultrawide camera with a 12.1-degree field of view and lens correction, and a 10.8-MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and 20x super res zoom.

Pixel 7/7 Pro, because I’m not as happy with my selfies on those devices as I am with Samsung’s corresponding camera systems. There is also an 8-MP camera inside for video chats. The internal camera on the Z Fold is also disappointing, and Google has a chance to show what its algorithms can do in this particular case. Aligned with camera specifications leak Which has been circulating since last September.

There are other tidbits in the video that we’ve seen floating around before, like how the Pixel Fold will use the Tensor G2 chip, the same processor inside the Pie 7/7 Pro lineup, and who knows, maybe Pixel 7a.

Don’t expect the Pixel Fold to be more affordable than Samsung’s offering. According to the rumor, the Fold will be priced at $1,800 and $1,920 for the 256GB and 512GB models, respectively. If you decide to pre-order on May 30, Google will probably offer some incentives like a free Pixel Watch. The device won’t start shipping until June 27.
