Google plans to introduce in June its first foldable Pixel smartphone that could cost more than $1,700, according to a report by CNBC.
Based on internal documents and pictures seen by the outlet, the Pixel Fold is meant to rival Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 that retails at around $1,799. Google reportedly stressed on building a foldable smartphone with a strong hinge, and the device is expected to have a 7.6-inch screen when opened. The phone could also be water-resistant.
The Pixel Fold may be slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, according to CNBC. The foldable phone’s processor is reportedly the Tensor G2 chip, which is same as that in the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
There are plans to motivate users to buy the Pixel Fold by encouraging them to trade in their old phones, according to the documents viewed by CNBC.
