Google’s first foldable smartphone has been rumored for a long time, but it should finally be launched this year. We’ve already seen it in leaked CAD-based renders, and today a new report talks about its heft.
Apparently, the Pixel Fold will be heavier than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold4, the device which will in fact serve as its main competitor. This may be related, at least to some extent, to the other tidbit that came out today, namely that the Pixel Fold will have a bigger battery than the Samsung.
We’re not told exactly how much larger it is, only that “the battery size will be closer to, but still well below, 5,000mAh.” Closer to 5,000mAh compared to the Z Fold4’s 4,400mAh and the Oppo Find N2’s 4,520mAh, that is. So let’s assume around 4,700mAh?
For weight benchmarks, keep in mind that the Z Fold4 tips the scales at 263g. So the source of today’s rumor tells us to think of the Pixel Fold as a small tablet in terms of weight, which doesn’t sound all that exciting considering it won’t be like a small tablet in terms of size.
The image above presumably compares the dimensions of the unfolded Pixel Fold (in red) to those of the unfolded Find N2 (in green) and unfolded Galaxy Z Fold4 (in blue). Like the Find N2, the Pixel Fold’s open display will be in landscape mode, not portrait like that of the Z Fold4.
According to a leaked roadmap of Google’s launches, the Pixel Fold is expected to become official during or “around” the Google I/O developer conference which traditionally takes place in May.
