After years of rumours, Google launched its first foldable telephone, the Pixel Fold, final yr on the I/O convention. As one would anticipate, Google may observe up with its second iteration this yr, and rumours have it that the second-generation foldable of Google might deliver some inside upgrades in comparison with Google’s newest Pixel 8 telephones.
Google has been testing the Pixel Fold 2 internally for a couple of months now, an unnamed supply advised the Android Authority. The prototypes of the second-generation Pixel Fold had been examined with the Tensor G3, Google’s newest chip that additionally powers the Pixel 8 telephones. Nevertheless, as per the supply, Google has not too long ago begun testing the Tensor G4 chipset, codenamed “zumapro” for the Pixel Fold 2, codenamed “comet.” Whereas this implies that the Pixel Fold 2 may include the Tensor G4 chipset, nothing is certain as of now.
It has been reported that the Tensor G4 chipset will function Arm Cortex-X4, Cortex-A78, and Cortex-A55 cores. The chipset can be produced on Samsung’s node, much like the present Tensor. Nevertheless, sources recommend that Google could swap manufacturing to TSMC as early as 2025.
Other than the Tensor G4 chipset, the Pixel Fold 2 prototypes function 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. In the meantime, the Pixel Fold has 12GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Pixel Fold 2 continues to be within the Engineering Validation Check (EVT) stage, a number of iterations away from Mass Manufacturing (MP). It’s seemingly that it is probably not prepared for I/O 2024 launch. So, it’d launch in October alongside the Pixel 9 sequence.
