Leaked Renders Reveal Google Pixel Fold 2 Design – A Bold Departure?

One notable change is the absence of the camera visor on the back, which has been replaced by a rounded rectangle island housing two oval-shaped camera areas. While the design may seem unconventional and garnered mixed opinions, it is a significant departure from the camera layout of its predecessor.
The leaked images showcase the Charcoal color variant of the Google Pixel Fold 2, featuring an inner screen with an under-display selfie camera in the top right corner, allowing for minimal bezels compared to the original Pixel Fold. The outer screen, measuring 6.4 inches (or 6.6 inches factoring in the corners), features a centered hole-punch for the selfie camera.
When unfolded, the phone boasts dimensions of 155.2 x 150.2 x 5.27 mm, presenting a squarer profile compared to its predecessor. It is marginally thinner and measures 155.2 x 77.1 x 10.54 mm in its folded state, showcasing a sleeker form factor.
Key features include the USB-C port, speaker grille, and SIM tray located on the lower frame, while the power and volume buttons reside on the right side. The top houses a secondary speaker grille and an antenna line cut into the metal frame.
Rumors suggest that the Google Pixel Fold 2 might be equipped with the Tensor G4 chipset, potentially delaying its launch until October alongside the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. The device is expected to offer 16GB of RAM, setting a new record for Google, along with UFS 4.0 storage. Stay tuned for further updates on the official launch and additional specifications.
Pokdepinion: As Google takes a bold step in design innovation, the Pixel Fold 2 is poised to offer users a distinctive and cutting-edge foldable smartphone experience. I just wished it arrived in Malaysia in an official capacity, along with the other Pixel phones.
