A well-known tipster, Evan Blass aka @evleaks, shared a couple of official Pixel Fold images over the weekend. He shared an official render showing the back side of the phone when unfolded, and the device from a profile when folded. What he did not show us is the phone’s main display. Well, you guessed it, the main Pixel Fold display just got shown in an official image.
The puzzle is complete, as the official image just showed us the main Pixel Fold display too
That image comes from the same source, actually. In addition to it, he showed us the Pixel Fold in another color when folded. Let’s start from the top, though. If you check out the first image in the gallery below the article, you’ll see the phone’s main display.
As you can see, we’re looking at rather odd bezel distribution here. The top and bottom bezels are thicker than the side bezels. This does look odd, and it may annoy some people, but at least it hides the cameras and all sensors inside the bezels. We don’t have to deal with a display camera hole.
Some people may consider those bezels to be a bit thick, and that’s understandable, especially the top and bottom ones. This panel also shows that Google is aiming at a horizontal aspect ratio when the phone is unfolded.
The phone’s main panel will have a 6:5 aspect ratio
The main display on the device will feature a 6:5 aspect ratio, as Evan Blass revealed. That will make its cover display rather short and wide. The cover display will measure 5.79 inches, while the phone itself will measure 139.7 x 79.5 x 12.1mm when folded. When folded, it will be wider than most regular smartphones. Evan Blass actually revealed the phone’s detailed specs, click here if you’d like to know more.
Having said that, the second image in the gallery below shows us a different color variant of a phone when folded. The image Blass first shared showed us the black model (Obsidian), this one leans towards the silver color. This color variant will be called ‘Porcelain’.
The Pixel Fold will be made out of metal and glass, and it’s coming later this month. The device will be announced during the Google I/O keynote on May 10. It is tipped to go on pre-order that day, and become available for purchase on June 27. It’s also said to cost $1,799.
