Rather than slowly tease out features for its rumored foldable smartphone, Google today gave the public a full look at the device.
The company posted official photos of the Pixel Fold on a new website, and announced it all with a playful tweet that references May the 4th, aka Star Wars Day. “May The Fold Be With You,” it wrote. Both the tweet and the website now carry a brief video showing the phone in action.
As you can see, the phone features a camera bump like you'll find on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. But the Pixel Fold opens up to become a mini tablet. It also features a second screen on the exterior, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, enabling you to use the device while it's folded.
Google's reveal comes amid numerous leaks, which now appear to have been pretty accurate. (Google actually pulled a similar stunt with the Pixel 4.)
For now, Google is remaining mum on specs. Look for more details at the company’s annual developer summit, Google I/O, scheduled for May 10. The Pixel Fold website also lets users sign up for notifications from Google about news and offers related to the phone.
It’s also been rumored that Google plans on announcing a budget-friendly Pixel 7a at the event, so phone buyers will have plenty to look forward to. Stay tuned for our coverage.
