The very first official Google Pixel Fold images have just appeared to confirm the phone’s design. The Pixel Fold did surface in a very short hands-on video before, and also in CAD-based renders. The two images that appeared today seem to be officially official.
The Google Pixel Fold design gets confirmed via first official images
They come from Evan Blass aka @evleaks, one of the most prominent tipsters out there. If you check out the gallery below the article, you’ll get to see both renders he shared.
In the first image, the phone’s entire back side is shown, when the phone is in its unfolded state. That means we get to see both its cover display, and backplate. The phone basically looks like the Google Pixel 7 Pro and OPPO Find N2 had a baby.
The Find N2 form factor is obvious, add the Pixel 7 Pro’s camera visor on the back, and there you have it. The hinge is also visible here, albeit in an unfolded state.
The second image gives us another look at the phone’s cover display and hinge, but this time in a folded state. The bezels around the display don’t seem to be thick at all, and the display corners are rounded. There is a display camera hole here, and it’s centered up top.
The phone’s main display is not shown here, but we know what it will look like
What we don’t get to see in these images is the phone’s main display. Based on some previous leaks, and a recently leaked hands-on video, however, those bezels will be weird. The top and bottom bezels will be thicker than the side bezels. The good news is that there won’t be a camera hole there or anything of the sort.
The Pixel Fold will be made out of metal and glass. It will become official next month, during the Google I/O keynote, on May 10. That is also when it’s said to become available to pre-order. It is tipped to cost $1,799, and go on sale on June 27. If you’d like to know more about the device, check out our Pixel Fold preview.
