    Leak unfolds Google's plan for a foldable Pixel smartphone

    Leak unfolds Google's plan for a foldable Pixel smartphone

    What's the story

    Alongside the 5G technology, foldable smartphones will be one of the main trends of 2019.

    Several tech giants including Samsung, Huawei, LG, Microsoft, and Xiaomi are working on their foldable phones that may be launched this year itself.

    And now, a tipster has claimed that Google is also developing its own foldable phone under the Pixel lineup.

    Here's everything we know.

    Twitter Post

    Tipster posts patent images to reveal Google's alleged foldable phone

    In the works

    Google's foldable phone looks a lot like Samsung's model

    If his claims are anything to go by, we can expect Google's foldable phone to be similar to Samsung's.

    As per the images, the phone can fold-out to form a tablet and fold-in to take the shape of a regular candy bar phone.

    Recently, Google also filed a few patents to improve the durability of foldable devices, suggesting its interest in 'foldable' technology.

    Connecting the dots

    Last year, a Russian blogger had leaked Google's smartphone portfolio

    Interestingly, in 2018, a Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin, who had leaked the Pixel 3 XL flagship, claimed that Google was developing as many as seven smartphones including the Pixel 3 flagships and a smartphone with a "flexible display".

    Hence, this further lends credibility to the new leak which claims that Google is working on a foldable smartphone.

    "Foldables"

    Google has already added support for foldable phones

    To recall, back in July'18, the tech giant had optimized Android to bring support for display cutouts. And in October, Google showcased the Pixel 3 XL with a prominent notch.

    Meanwhile, last year in November, Google had announced that Android would natively support foldable devices to help developers create apps for the foldable hardware.

    Going by that logic, perhaps, the launch of Google's foldable phone is imminent.

    "Not" coming soon

    So, when will Google announce its foldable phone?

    While we have major hints and tips that Google is working on a foldable smartphone, it is unlikely that the phone would launch it this year.

    This is because we already have a barrage of foldable devices lined up for 2019.

    Hence, Google might want to wait and see how these OEMs find success with their foldable handsets.
