After years of rumours, Google launched its first foldable cellphone, the Pixel Fold, final yr on the I/O convention. As one would anticipate, Google may observe up with its second iteration this yr, and rumours have it that the second-generation foldable of Google may carry some inside upgrades in comparison with Google’s newest Pixel 8 telephones.
Google has been testing the Pixel Fold 2 internally for just a few months now, an unnamed supply advised the Android Authority. The prototypes of the second-generation Pixel Fold had been examined with the Tensor G3, Google’s newest chip that additionally powers the Pixel 8 telephones. Nevertheless, as per the supply, Google has lately begun testing the Tensor G4 chipset, codenamed “zumapro” for the Pixel Fold 2, codenamed “comet.” Whereas this implies that the Pixel Fold 2 may include the Tensor G4 chipset, nothing is bound as of now.
It has been reported that the Tensor G4 chipset will characteristic Arm Cortex-X4, Cortex-A78, and Cortex-A55 cores. The chipset will likely be produced on Samsung’s node, just like the present Tensor. Nevertheless, sources recommend that Google might change manufacturing to TSMC as early as 2025.
Aside from the Tensor G4 chipset, the Pixel Fold 2 prototypes characteristic 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. In the meantime, the Pixel Fold has 12GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Pixel Fold 2 remains to be within the Engineering Validation Take a look at (EVT) stage, a number of iterations away from Mass Manufacturing (MP). It’s doubtless that it will not be prepared for I/O 2024 launch. So, it would launch in October alongside the Pixel 9 sequence.
