A recent article from CNBC claims that Google’s long-awaited foldable, the Pixel Fold, is set to launch sometime in June following an official announcement at the upcoming Google I/O 2023 event on May 10. This information reportedly comes from internal communications seen by the network that includes details on the device’s release date, battery life, weight, chipset, and price.
If the information obtained is correct, the Pixel Fold, known internally as “Felix,” will be outfitted with Google’s Tensor G2 SoC and a 7.6-inch internal display similar in size to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold — Google’s primary competitor in the foldable market.
Further details from the communications reveal a weight of 263g, making it ~10g heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold. However, that additional weight is supposedly due to the Fold’s larger battery, which Google claim is capable of lasting a full 24 hours on a single charge — or 72 hours in low-power mode.
