the google pixel fold is looking incredible and i'll be sharing the details right after this!
today we have more specs and confirmation of the new google pixel fold and it's looking
like an incredible smartphone before we get started though like the video if you're a
fan of google let me know in the comments who out there hasn't purchased a foldable phone yet
if you haven't already then hit subscribe now so you don't miss a thing in the future
so for the first story of the day we've got a tweet from reliable display analyst Ross Young
and he confirms that the pixel folder display size he tweeted a couple of days ago and advises that
the pixel folds cover display is going to be 5.8 inches which is a little bit smaller than
something like the z fold 3 6.2 inch and it should mean that we get a wider aspect ratio
we don't have any details on the resolution or the refresh rate yet but considering even
the pixel 6 has a 90 hertz display then i would expect it to be at least 90 hertz
when it comes to the main internal display ross young previously told us that they will be getting
a 7.57 inch display and that it will be a 120 hertz ltpo display now ross young also tweeted
to advise that the pixel fold panel production is going to start in the third quarter of this year
and the launch is set for the final quarter now we normally see the pixel phones launching in october
so it could be that the pixel 7 and the new pixel fold 5g are going to share a launch date
the general design of the pixel fold has also been revealed thanks to secret illustrations that were
found in the android 12 l beta so the first image shows us the pixel fold in the closed position
with the sim removal tool and in the second image it shows us a fully open pixel fold with the sim
card going into the bottom of the fold it's assumed that these are obviously going to be
part of the sim insertion animation that users are going to see when setting up the pixel fold
what we're referring to the device is the pixel fold we also have a report from nine to five
google that says their inside source says that the phone is currently being called the pixel notepad
now this name isn't set in stone just yet and of course google always use code names and they
have been known to rename things last minute before so until we get some solid confirmation
we'll keep referring to it as the google pixel fold we've also got new information discovered
in the code of google's camera app and in here the phone is being referred to as the pixel fold 5g
we also have camera specifications revealed in the same code and it's not the same camera setup
that we saw in the pixel 6 either now the code reveals that the main camera on the pixel fold
is a 12.2 megapixel sony imx 363 and then the secondary camera is a 12 megapixel sony imx 386
and of course it has an ultra wide lens now the code also reveals two selfie cameras which are
both eight megapixel sony imx 355's this is no doubt going to be one camera on the cover display
then another camera on the main display there's also many rumors still about in-display selfie
cameras on the pixel fold but these are simply just rumors there's just no way that google's
going to use the in-display technology as it's just not ready yet in terms of the fold itself
google have already been granted a patent from the usa patent office this is for a multi-axis
soft hinge mechanism it was a 58-page document and it describes an advanced hinge system to create
a minimal seam when the device is actually folded it describes an inward folding screen which is of
course what google plans to use in the google fold this is no doubt going to be for the pixel fold 5g
now 95 max internal source has also revealed that the pixel folder is aiming to be cheaper than its
competitors and of course this is the best way for them to gain some of the foldable market share
now their source revealed that google are aiming to launch the pixel fold at about 1 399 well that
is still a lot of money if you compare it to its main competitor the z fold then that launches at
around eighteen hundred dollars well spec wise it probably won't be as good as the upcoming default
four but with roughly a four hundred dollar saving compared to that then it's going to be attractive
to many now we've got plenty of concepts cropping up with some looking like the pixel 5
and then others looking like the pixel 6 but these are simply just concept renders the two
illustrations that we saw earlier are actually the only information we have on design at the moment
and personally i think we're going to see a new design but with a little bit of inspiration from
the pixel 6 because it's a new device they're not going to want to be too out there with the design
as sales on their first foldable are gonna be incredibly important for the device's future
but overall the pixel fold is looking incredible and it's exciting to see more and more companies
enter the foldable market now for those of you excited for the google pixel fold we're now
going to run through the full specs design and the expected pricing to help you guys decide which one
is right for you for my regular viewers you guys have seen this bit so just skip to the next video
but if you are new here then hit subscribe now and we'll get right into it so with the pixel fold 5g
we get a 7.6 inch main display when unfolded it's a 120 hertz ltpo display but the exact resolution
is still unknown when folded up we get a cover display which is a 5.8 inch display again the
resolution is currently unknown but it's likely to be a 90 or a 120 hertz ltpo display on the
pixelfold 5g we get two selfie cameras there's one on the cover display and one on the main internal
display now both cameras are eight megapixel wide angle cameras and while there are many rumors that
the inner display is going to be an in-display selfie camera personally i hope they're both
just punch holes when it comes to the rear we're expecting a dual camera setup and this is going
to consist of a 12.2 megapixel primary wide angle and then a 12 megapixel ultra wide the phones can
be powered by the google tensor chipset the same that's found in the pixel 6 and while it's not the
most powerful chip it's a perfectly capable one and it has great ai performance the pixel fold 5g
is expected to come with 12 gigabytes of ram and a choice of 256 or 512 storage and it's all going
to be powered by a 4 800 milliamp hour battery with 30 watt fast charging wireless charging
and reverse wireless charging the pixel fold 5g is gonna have an in-display fingerprint scanner
bluetooth 5.2 wi-fi six and ultra wide band support and it will of course ship with android
12 l when it comes to pricing we're expecting the google pixel folder to start from 1 399 and this
puts it in a great place to compete in the market so overall it's looking like a great phone and
it's great to see after the new look of their recent pixels they're continuing to make their
way into the smart market foldable devices are expected to gain more market share as the years go
on and the pixelfold 5g will definitely be helping with this so that's all the information we have
for today but as anything new comes in i'll be sharing it straight away as always though i'd like
to know your thoughts down in the comments below so who out there is excited for the google pixel
fold and who has already purchased a folding phone but thanks for watching the video if you liked it
