Google’s been working on a foldable phone for quite some time (possibly several phones, as rumor has it that the company has scrapped a few models and started over). But according to the latest rumors, Google could launch a Pixel Fold in May, 2023.

Now we have a better idea of what it could look like.

According to a set of renders that @OnLeaks released in partnership with a website called Howtoisolve, we can expect a sizeable camera bump with three cameras, a 7.7 inch inner display, and a 5.8 inch cover display.

The Pixel Fold will join a growing number of foldables from companies including Samsung, Xiaomi, and Huawei. Google has already been making moves in recent years to make Android a more tablet & foldable-friendly operating system. But releasing its own flagship foldable phone could give Google an even better chance to highlight what its software is capable of on a device with this form factor.

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.

Last year Apple announced a plan to scan photos uploaded to iCloud for images that included evidence of sexual abuse of children. While the company said it would do this in a way meant to protect user privacy, the idea of Apple scanning user photos at all raised alarms with privacy advocates.

  1. Huh. I expected them to implement it anyway, in a partnership with Google to bring perceptual hash scanning to Android devices, and both of them would just not tell anyone, because the backlash was just the “screeching voices of the minority”.
    They scan everything you upload to their servers anyway, they have to. The difference is by scanning it before it’s uploaded they could maintain fewer servers, and offload the electricity cost onto you.
    I guess they’re now betting that the EARN-IT Act isn’t going to go anywhere.
