Rumours of Google making its own foldable phone have been floating about since 2019, the year Samsung unveiled the first Galaxy Z Fold. Then last month, a short clip of what is claimed to the a prototype of the Google Pixel Fold appeared online. Now, the internet search giant has decided that it won’t be keeping anyone in suspense, as it has announced that the device in question will be unveiled officially next week.
On Twitter, the official Made by Google account tweeted a short clip of the Pixel Fold in question, with the caption of “May The Fold Be With You”. Also included is the date of 10 May, which is the day of the Google I/O event. Which sounds like it is a tad ironic, since if it is supposed to be a Star Wars reference, then the unveiling is going to be late by nearly a whole week. Also in the tweet is the name Pixel Fold, albeit in its social media hashtag, confirming the name in some capacity.
As for the included clip, the Google Pixel Fold looks just about like the other laterally folding phones that came before. The only real difference, visually at least, is the G branding at the back, and the camera bump above it sporting a triple camera setup. Naturally there’s also stock Android on the software side of things, and it’s pretty likely that it will get some Pixel-exclusive functionality like the regular smartphones of the family.

Either way, the internet search giant is now scheduled to reveal more about the Google Pixel Fold next week. All that being said, Google so far has not allowed any of its Pixel devices to grace our market. And it remains to be seen if this foldable will be the first exception to the rule.
