The foreign media decompiled the latest version of the Google Pixel Buds application and found a reference to the device codenamed “Comet”, the foreign media believe that this device is the successor of the Pixel Fold, but “there may also be a new vertical folding phone.

The Pixel Buds app’s code, which includes the Comet codename, is also referred to as a “folding model” by the app, which further suggests that Comet is a folding phone. Google’s only current folding screen phone, the Pixel Fold, was released in May of this year, and Google may not be able to put more information on its successor in the near future.

However, according to the media, the Comet codename is not in line with Google’s typical naming scheme for Pixel phones. For example, the Pixel Fold was originally codenamed “Passport”, but was later renamed “Felix” as it was updated to run on the same Tensor G2 chip as the Pixel 7 series.
Similarly, the Pixel 9 / Pro series phones are expected to use reptile-related codenames such as “Komodo” and “Caiman”. The Pixel 8 / Pro line of phones, which will be released tonight, are codenamed after dog breeds – “Shiba” for the Pixel 8 and “Husky” for the Pixel 8 Pro. “.
