Notably, this is not the first time that reports have detailed the possibility of Google launching a foldable Pixel smartphone. We first heard about such a device back in 2019, which hinted towards the company looking into a Z-fold design. Then ahead I/O 2020, Mario Queiroz, who leads the development of Pixel phones, as per a CNET report said that the company was in no hurry to bring a foldable display phone to the market, which killed the buzz around the possibility of a foldable Pixel phone. But now, the new report suggests otherwise. That said, Google hasn't commented on the matter yet. And so, for now, we would take all such reports with a pinch of salt.
