The [rumors are true](https://highlighter.com/23687731/pixel-hardware-rumors-7a-foldable-fold-tablet): next week, Google will introduce its first foldable phone, [the Pixel Fold](https://go.redirectingat.com/?xs=1&id=1025X1701640&url=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.google.com%2Fintl%2Fen%2Fideas%2Fpixel-is-open%2F), during the Google I/O 2023 event.

Google hasn’t revealed any specs for the device, but [a brief teaser video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4eEH2nRU1U) shows off a full-size outer display on a phone that opens up similarly to Samsung’s [Galaxy Z Fold devices](https://highlighter.com/23308459/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-4-review-screen-battery-camera-price). The camera bar on the back is similar to other Pixel devices but doesn’t stick out as prominently, reflecting what we’ve seen in leaked marketing materials and [even a hands-on video](https://highlighter.com/2023/4/21/23693598/pixel-fold-irl-video-leak).

[](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/18/google-pixel-fold-release-date.html)CNBC reported in April that the Pixel Fold would be a 5.8-inch phone that folds out into a 7.6-inch tablet. It’ll reportedly include a Google Tensor G2 processor, weigh 10 ounces, and have “the most durable hinge on a foldable,” along with a price that’s over $1,700. Samsung’s latest foldable, the Z Fold 4, launched with a price of $1,799.
