In May 2023, Google took over by presenting its own foldable mobile phone, thus venturing into a segment that was until now dominated by brands such as Samsung, OPPO and Honor, among others. NOW, The Android boss also proposed his own alternative with a foldable screenwith a different design than most.
He Google Pixel Fold has a much more rectangular internal screen, less square, unlike phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 5, among others. The result of this design decision is also noticeable in its external screen, which is wider and lower. This, according to a leak published by Android Authority, would change drastically in the next generation of Google’s foldable.
The Pixel Fold 2 would have a radical change in its design
The image published by the American media claims to be that of a prototype of the Pixel Fold 2, still in development. Its internal screen, given this image, looks more square than the first generation, with dimensions that generally extend more vertically than horizontally.
He the first Pixel Fold, in comparison, is wider but also lower, so when its 7.6-inch internal screen is open, it has a more landscape format. The new generation, on the other hand, has a more traditional approach, with proportions that seem to approach those of the OnePlus Open, at least taking into account what we can see in the image.

The OnePlus Open maintains a more square format but, at the same time, offers a slightly wider external screen compared to other foldables, such as the Samsung Fold, whose external screen is narrower.
Another drastic change in the design of the Pixel Fold 2 would be seen in the camera module. This time, The new Pixel Fold would include a square module in which the sensors are located, divided into two sections, in place of the characteristic linear module that covers the rear of the terminal from one end to the other. It is estimated, according to the image, that the terminal has three sensors in its main camera, in addition to what appears to be an unknown fourth sensor.
This change shouldn’t surprise us, as leaks of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro promise that Google will also change the look of the camera module in these phonesthis time opting for an oval island in which the sensors are located, replacing the linear module of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 7.
As for the hardware of the Google Pixel 2, it should have a Tensor G3 processor and between 12 and 16 GB of RAM. The date on which Google will present its new foldable mobile phone has not yet been confirmed. The first Google Pixel was presented at Google I/O in May 2023; Maybe this year Google will also announce its new foldable mobile phone at its developers conference.
