In recent years, more and more manufacturers have begun to enter the field of folding screen devices, and the range of choices for users has become larger.
In the past year, Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung, OPPO, Honor and other brands have promoted the listing of their folding screen devices, and have received good market feedback.
Now, another well-known brand, Google, has also been exposed to its folding screen product information.
Past news shows that Google has two internal code names involving folding screen products, namely "Passport" and "Pipit". However, due to the fact that there is no exact supporting information for the time being, the relevant revelations mostly refer to it as Google Pixel Fold.
At the end of last year, sources broke the news that Google had cancelled the parts order for folding screen products, and it may give up the continued promotion of folding screen products.
At the time, the information showed that this may be because Google lacked confidence in its folding screen device, believing that it might be less competitive than Samsung's folding screen products.
However, the latest news now gives a different statement, that is, Google has not given up the promotion of folding screen devices, and it is still continuing the development of corresponding products.
In the latest release of Android 12L Beta 2, there is news that a new animation has been discovered that describes how to insert a SIM card into a foldable phone. Meanwhile, the code for this animation references the Pixel Fold's "Pipit" code name.
That is to say, Google also has a plan to promote folding screen products, and interested users can look forward to the subsequent product release.
Combined with the details shown in the new animation, this new machine supports inward folding, and when fully unfolded, a large operable area can be obtained. But compared with some folding screen devices on the market, its overall size seems to be smaller.
Related news believes that its overall size ratio is close to the previously released OPPO Find N.
In terms of the details shown in the animation, the device is equipped with an obvious volume adjustment button on the right side of the fuselage. After the device is fully folded, the hinged part can be seen on the left side of the fuselage, while the SIM card tray is mounted on the bottom of the device.
When the device is fully unfolded, hinge grooves at the lower and lower bezels of the fuselage can be seen, but other product details are not shown on the screen.
However, it should be noted that this animation appears in the Android Beta version, and there is also a possibility of being canceled when the official version arrives, so the corresponding breaking information can be referred to.
