Google has confirmed in a podcast episode that a second foldable device was in the works, but didn't make the cut for this year's lineup.
that will be arriving in about a month to those that pre-ordered. However, as it turns out, we were about to get a second Pixel Fold model that was scrapped before it ever saw the light of day., in which the latest Made by Google projects are discussed on a weekly basis. In today's unusually longer episode, podcast host Rachid Finge sat down with three members of Google's design team: Ivy Ross , Isabelle Olsson , and Claude Zellweger .
The conversation centered around the design of the three newest products to Google's hardware lineup, which are the Pixel 7a, the Pixel Fold, and the Pixel Tablet. However, when the topic pivoted to the Pixel Fold's hinge design, particularly as it relates to using it in tabletop mode, Ivy Ross dropped the below tidbit:
I’m really proud of the team because there was another foldable model that we had created, that we had the discipline to hold back and say"nope, it’s not good enough yet," and really wait until we felt like we could do something that was good enough or better than what was out there already. So, it’s really a testimony to the fact that we’re able to do that and recognize when something isn’t good enough.
Based on this, it wouldn't be crazy to think that this Pixel Fold that never was could have been the"Pixel Flip". This is definitely a positive sign for the future of Google's foldable phone efforts and it shows that the company is committed to the market and is willing to take the time to get it right.
