After years of rumors, news of Google’s foldable phone may have actually leaked. On Monday, leak god Jon Prosser revealed the full design of the Pixel Fold in a video. This isn’t the first leak of a Pixel Fold phone, but it’s the most detailed leak we’ve seen so far, and Prosser also shared the device’s purported price and release date.
According to Prosser, the Pixel Fold has a similar design to the Galaxy Z Fold, but with some design highlights from the Pixel line. On the front will be a large cover display and a perforated selfie camera, but on the back, Google appears to have updated the camera bar that debuted on the Pixel 6 and carried over to the Pixel 7.
While the rear camera bar extends the length of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, it appears to stand alone at the back of the Pixel Fold. It’s very similar to the camera bump on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, but Google has made it horizontal instead of vertical.
Inside the device is the main display, and unlike Samsung, Google didn’t try to fill the entire space with the screen. the Pixel Fold’s main display is surrounded by a surprisingly large bezel. It’s certainly not a design we’ve seen on modern flagship phones, but it does allow Google to hide the camera inside the bezel.
As for price and release date, Prosser says Google plans to launch the Pixel Fold in May 2023 alongside the Pixel tablet for $1,799. The device will be available in two colors: chalk (white) and obsidian (black). prosser’s sources also told him that the device is “really heavy”.
