Google has long been said to be working on a foldable-display Pixel smartphone. Reports in the past have hinted towards the company launching its foldable Pixel smartphone in 2021. However, Google has maintained that it is in no rush to develop such a technology.

“Google has also experimented with the foldable form...But Google isn't in a rush to get a folding product to market," Mario Queiroz, who leads the development of Pixel phones, had said ahead of the Google I/O 2020 developer conference.

Now, a new report suggests that Google's foldable Pixel smartphone may be on track to arrive in late 2021. Korean site The Elec reports that Samsung's subsidiary, Samsung Display will start the production of foldable OLED panels for Google, Vivo and Xiaomi in October this year. The report also says that the three companies are planning to launch their foldable display smartphones in the final quarter of this year.

If reports are to be believed, Google's foldable display Pixel smartphone will come with a 7.6-inch folding display panel, while Vivo's foldable display smartphone will feature an 8-inch primary display and a 6.5-inch outer display.

Past reports suggest that Google's foldable Pixel smartphone will feature an in-folding design. Beyond that, details about the upcoming foldable Pixel smartphone remain scarce at the moment. If Google launches a foldable display smartphone in the final quarter of the year, it would undoubtedly be the company's best-kept smartphone secrets till now. Google's smartphone launches are often riddled with leaks and reports detailing every aspect of the phone in the days leading up to the launch. It remains to be seen if Google is able to break this trend with its foldable display smartphone.

Separately, Google is also expected to launch a mid-budget Pixel 5A and a premium Pixel 6 series smartphone this year. Reports have hinted that the mid-budget Pixel smartphone could arrive as soon as this week. Pixel 6 series smartphone, consisting of the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro smartphones, are expected to arrive during the company's fall launch event, which typically takes place in October. The phone is expected to come with a redesigned rear camera setup and be powered by the company's Whitechapel chipset.
