today we've got the first look at the brand new pixel fold 2 which has some big changes from the
predecessor as well as lots of confirmation on the new specs before we get started though let
me know in the comments who's excited for the pixel fold 2 and don't forget to subscribe to
stay up toate with the latest teag so first up before we get into the reveal we've got plenty
of confirmations on the specs of the pixel fold 2 and it's getting at some very important upgrades
in a new report from Android authority their sources claimed that the pixel fold 2 is going
to be skipping the tensor G3 chipset we saw in the latest pixel 8 phones and it's going to be
releasing with the new tensor G4 from Google it's an interesting move from Google and I'd say it's
for the better is it is a premium device but this may also affect the release date which we'll cover
shortly as well as the upgrade to the chipset we're also getting an upgrade to the memory
and we'll be getting 16 GB of ddr5 RAM which is a big step up from the predecessor's 12 GB and we're
also going to be getting faster storage thanks to ufs S 4 the previous pixel fold was announced
at Google's IO event last year but according to a new report the pixel fold 2 is going to debut
alongside the pixel 9 and this makes a lot of sense the trouble with the release at Google's
IO event is that it then features a chipset which is almost a year old already and when Google are
trying to convince users to buy an expensive new foldable it needs to have the latest chipset by
delaying it until the pixel 9 launch it means it can also feature the tens G4 chips set and
not be somewhat outdated at launch according to reports though we may be getting a teaser for the
pixel fold 2 at this year's Google IO now next up we've got details on the new tensor G4 chipset and
it's appeared on geekbench 5 and we now know that it's an 8e CPU cluster along with arms immortalis
G715 GPU and Lea Conor tweeted to say that the new tensor G4 was actually based on the exos 2400 but
that appears to be incorrect given that they've got completely different CPU configurations and
early benchmarks are actually showing low scores and they are in fact actually lower than the
tensor G3 but this of course won't be the case on the final release either The Benchmark isn't
real or it's just an early stage Benchmark and it needs to undergo a lot more optimization before
the final release but regardless when it comes to the tensor G4 we know from previous releases
it's going to be a perfectly capable chipset and great for AI but it's not going to be as powerful
as the latest Snapdragon chip when it comes to Raw CPU performance next up we already have the first
look at the new pixel fold 2 thanks to Android authority and they've gotten their hands on a
real life image now there's things here that are blurred out to protect the source of the
leak and interestingly it looks like they've cut out the background and replaced it with a green
screen but it does show us that there's going to be some big changes this year and then I've also
made these 3D renders here based on this league now for a start we've got a completely different
camera module and it's now a small rectangle in the top left instead of instead of the big bar
that we had last year and there also appears to be four sensors inside the module currently we
don't have the info on exactly what they are yet but it will of course be a wide angle an
ultra wide and a telephoto and then we've got this fourth new sensor when it comes to the
new Force sensor it's all just guesses at the moment it could be a timer flight sensor for
better depth information or it could also be an infrared sensor for temperature considering
Google Now have FDA approval for human use but of course as soon as we find out anything I'll update
you straight away another big change we have is the overall form factor the pixel fold was quite
short and wide which I personally found great but the pixel fold 2 has a much narrower cover display
and it's reportedly due to optimization issues from some apps with the previous model and now
the inner aspect ratio is pretty much going to be a square and Android authority weren't able to get
the exact dimensions of the phone but the report says that it's very similar to the OnePlus open
there report report also states that it's going to feature an aluminium frame along with a more
curved inner and outer display and while there was no mention of the inner display I'm hoping
that we get much thinner bezels as I've used here in my renders the previous pixel just had too big
a bezel for my liking and for a phone that cost so much money I just felt that it did take away
from the premium look that it could have had now overall though it looks like there's going to be
some big changes coming this year and they're all for the better and it doesn't come as a surprise
now when we see a go Google device leaked so early is it happens every year now for those
excited for the pixel fold 2 though we're now going to run through the full specs design and
the expected pricing to help you guys decide if it is worth the wait so with the pixel fold
2 we're expecting something around a 6.5-in cover display it's going to be a 120 HZ OLED
display protected by Gorilla Glass victus 2 and of course the peak brightness is unknown at the
moment we're expecting something around 2,000 nits we're also expecting any increase in the
internal display size thanks to the new form factor and I estimate we're going to get a 7.9
in 120 HZ foldable OLED with a peak brightness of around 2,000 nits we of course get two selfie
cameras on the pixel fold 2 we've got one on the cover display and then one on the inside display
we're hoping to see an upgrade it to a 10.5 megap selfie camera for the cover display and there are
a few rumors floating around of an under display camera on the inside when it comes to the rear
cameras we're expecting a megapixel wide angle is the primary camera with multis Zone laser
autofocus dual pixel phase detect autofocus and Optical stabilization for the ultra wide
we're expecting a 48 megap camera with dual pixel phase detect autofocus and then for the telephoto
we're expecting a 48 megapixel with Optical image stabilization and five times optical zoom there is
of course a fourth sensor we don't know exactly what it is at the moment but it's likely to be a
timer flight sensor or a temperature sensor it's going to be powered by the new tensor G4 chipset
from Google while it doesn't have the raw CPU performance of the latest Snapdragon chipset is
still a perfectly capable chipset and it's great for AI performance we get 16 GB of ddr5 RAM along
with a choice of 256 512 or even 1 tbte of storage and this will be ufs 4 and then when it comes to
the battery we're estimating something around 5,000 Milah battery and while fast charging is
still currently unknown it will support wired and wireless charging we of course get 5G Bluetooth
5.3 Ultra wideband and Wi-Fi 7 and it's going to be shipping with the latest version of Android 15
it's expected to launch around $1800 and it's likely going to be delayed this year to launch
alongside the pixel 9 series in October so overall the new pixel f 2 is looking very different from
its predecessor we've got a new design with a new form factor for better better optimizations along
with plenty of upgrades in Hardware to match as with all Google phones lately there's going to be
a lot of emphasis on AI features and performance and it's going to deliver the great photography
that we expect from a pixel phone now the first pixel fold seemed a bit more of a prototype to
me although it wasn't bad for a first attempt but the pixel f 2 is looking to refine things a lot
more now of course we're still a long way away from launch but as we know Google are not very
good at keeping anything a secret so the leaks are no doubt going to come flooding in and I'll
be sharing them as soon as they do so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a thing in the
future oh
