Folding mobiles seem to be in fashion since in the last year we have been able to witness how different manufacturers have opted for these designs. Among them, Samsung with its Z Fold and Z Flip models, or Xiaomi with its next Mi MIX Fold. So it is not surprising that more and more terminal brands decide to bet on these folding designs for your mobiles.
One of the latest manufacturers to join this idea has been Google since, after the official presentation of the first beta of Android 12 on the first day of Google I / O 2021, It not only brought us an immense amount of news at the software level. Since information has been discovered that has been in the air since February when the news broke that they had patented a folding mobile design.
A foldable Google Pixel
Thanks to the launch of the first Android 12 Beta, which was presented on May 18 on the first day of Google I / O 2021, it has been possible to discover what the company’s next models will be. Among them, the Pixel 5a 5G and 6, although they have not been the most outstanding, since details such as their designs and characteristics had been known. The most striking thing has been that Google will release, in the not too distant future, his first folding mobile.
And we’re talking about the not-too-distant future, basically, because the first beta of Android 12 kept inside the different names and model numbers of the Google Pixel that will come out throughout this 2021, as reported by 9to5Google. Additionally, four codenames have been found for these mobile devices.
The first of them is “Barbet” (G4S1M), which is rumored to be the Pixel 5a 5G, while “Oriole” (GR1YH) and “Raven” (GF5KQ), would be the code names of the models that will be released from Pixel 6. And finally, we find the «Passport»(GPQ72), which has been related to Google’s rumored Pixel foldable mobile.
Possible Features of the Foldable Pixel
One of the first details that have begun to be rumored is about the panel that will be mounted on this Google folding terminal. The foldable Pixel is expected to feature a 7.6-inch OLED panel and that it is manufactured by Samsung. Which makes many believe that we could see a model with a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. However, these claims are only rumors and it is unknown, for now, if it will come true.
