In 2021, Google was reportedly coming out with its own foldable smartphone. However, the project apparently got binned and we never heard more on its development. But it seems that after witnessing the success of Samsung Galaxy Fold 3, the tech giant has decided to revive the project. According to various rumors, Google is working on its foldable smartphone which many are calling Google Pixel Fold. Although not much is known about the smartphone at this point, early rumors suggest that the smartphone is going to give Samsung's foldable a strong competition. Check out all the rumors around this smartphone.

Google Pixel Fold to compete against Samsung Galaxy Fold 3

The biggest rumor around the Google Pixel Fold comes from veteran display analyst Ross Young, who claims that the smartphone's display will be different from what Samsung has offered. He tweeted, “Z Fold 4 and Google foldable will have similar sized foldable displays, but the Google cover display will be quite a bit smaller at 5.8". This should mean it will have a wider aspect ratio than the Samsung 6.19" Fold 4”.

Young also revealed a potential launch date for the Google Pixel Fold. “This is based on discussions with companies in the display supply chain around a specific configuration. However, we are also now hearing it may be pushed out into 2023. Don't believe they have actually placed the order yet,” he told CNET.

Earlier, 9to5Google reported that Google's foldable smartphone which goes up against Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 might not be called Google Pixel Fold at all. The website claims the smartphone might be named Google Pixel Notepad. It has also stated that this could be a working name. Another report by them also reveals that the smartphone might be priced less than Samsung's foldable smartphone and could be kept around $1,400 (Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is priced at $1,799).

There are also rumors that Apple may venture into the foldable smartphone space in 2023, according to analyst and Apple tipster Ming-Chi Kuo. Based on these rumors, the foldable smartphone segment is sure to get more competitive with big brands jumping on the bandwagon.

Do note however, that these are mere rumors and you should take it with a pinch of salt as the respective companies have not made any announcements regarding the same.
