New Pixel Fold leak confirms wider aspect ratio than the Z Fold 4's

After the alleged Pixel Fold popped up in an online benchmark a couple of days ago, a new set of renders emerged to reveal the foldable phone's design from all angles. In addition, some display specifications and dimensions have also surfaced. (via @OnLeaks / Howtoisolve)

Google Pixel Fold is a lot wider than the Galaxy Z Fold 4

The new leak suggests that the Google Pixel Fold has a 5.79-inch cover screen and a 7.69-inch foldable display. When unfolded, the device measures approximately 158.7 x 139.7 x 5.7mm. The phone's thickness, including the camera bump, is 8.3mm. Google reportedly acquired the cover and foldable screens from Samsung Display.

The renders and 360-degree video above and below highlight one of the biggest differences between the Pixel Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Namely, the Pixel Fold is considerably wider and has a squarer aspect ratio than the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

In the past, one of the biggest design issues of the Galaxy Z Fold series was the narrow cover screen. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 addressed that problem to a reasonable degree, but it looks like Google may have gone too far in the other direction. The Pixel Fold may be too wide for a smartphone and could prove unwieldy. Time will tell.

Google is expected to release the Pixel Fold in May 2023, but the phone-tablet hybrid won't be cheap. If early reports are accurate, Google intends to charge $1,799 and up for the Pixel Fold. The phone will supposedly run Android 13 at launch and sport 12GB of RAM. It should be available in two color options: Chalk and Obsidian.

If you want to own a book-like foldable device and can't wait until Google reveals its first attempt, Samsung is always happy to sell you a Galaxy Z Fold 4. And you should be able to buy it for a lower price than $1,799 through the ongoing winter sale event.
