The Google Pixel Fold finally launched at Google I/O earlier this month, and it set to be released on June 27. But it turns out that the phone wasn’t always supposed to arrive by itself. According to Google a second Pixel Fold device was also planned, only to be canceled because it wasn’t good enough.
This news comes from Ivy Ross, head of design for hardware products at Google, during an episode of the official Made by Google podcast. Apparently the second foldable was being developed but, according to Ross, Google “had the discipline to hold back and say ‘nope, it’s not good enough yet,’ and really wait until we felt like we could do something that was good enough or better than what was out there already.”
