The Google Pixel Fold is coming, and following a number of leaks over the past several weeks, we’re now getting the first official-looking image of the Google Pixel Fold in a new leak.
Evan Blass, better known as @evleaks, tonight posted (to a private account) the first render of the Pixel Fold that shows off Google’s first foldable in striking detail. The image, which is likely a press render used for marketing purposes, shows off the Pixel Fold in its darker color, presumably called “Charcoal,” from the side.
Update: Another Pixel Fold leak shows the inner display with its wide aspect ratio and bezels
The image only shows the outside of the Pixel Fold but gives us a great look at the device’s hinge, which appears remarkably thin. This could simply be a game of clever angles, but it really does look like a very slim foldable, especially when compared to similar images of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.

I am looking forward to this, to be honest, as a long time Pixel smartphone user, i love the clean software, the Pixel features, i had a Galaxy Fold 4, for a few months, the build quality is superb, and the software is greatly improved, however i absolutely hate the duplicate applications, some of Samsungs you cannot delete, and to be honest I'll never end up using any of them, you can hide them though, and at the time i just tried turning the Fold 4 into a Pixel fold, changing all the things i could to make it look and feel like a Pixel, making all Googles as default, but there is only so much you can do!, I like the form factor, of the Pixel Fold if its correct, more like a Surface Duo, which I like,{and i use as a book reader} not as tall as the fold, so I'll be getting a Pixel Fold on launch day, and can go back to using one device instead of carrying a Pixel 7 pro and a Surface Duo every day!.
From there, we can see the Pixel Fold’s wider aspect ratio on the outer display, which definitely looks notably shorter than a typical Pixel smartphone that we’ve become used to. Like other Pixels, the homescreen is the Pixel Launcher, with themed icons enabled and showing Google’s stock apps as well as the At a Glance widget, which is notably blurred out.
It’s hard to see anything else of value from this image, but it’s exciting to see nonetheless. Google’s foldable is expected to cost $1,799, but at the very least, it looks like the hardware design won’t be lacking.
More images have since been posted.
The Pixel Fold is all but certain to be announced at Google I/O in a couple of weeks and is expected to hit the market sometime in June.
