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 period of time, many well-known manufacturers have brought their own folding screen product series.
Now, another well-known brand has also been exposed to folding screen product information, and this brand is Google.
Although more attention has been paid to Google on the software side, it will also bring updates to its Pixel series of mobile phones every year. Therefore, if Google really launched a folding screen series of products, it is not surprising.
Past news shows that Google has two internal code names involving folding screen products, namely "Passport" and "Pipit". However, since there is no exact supporting information, the relevant revelations mostly refer to it as the Google Pixel Fold.
Now with the advancement of time, there is also more detailed information about Google's folding screen products.
The latest news shows that Google's folding screen device will be called the Google Pixel Notepad, rather than the Google Pixel Fold mentioned in the past. In terms of specific product design, it will adopt the in-folding scheme that is currently more used.
At the same time, it will have an inner screen size similar to that of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, but the external secondary screen will be a little smaller, only 5.8 inches. This means that the Google Pixel Notepad has a wider aspect ratio than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4's 6.19-inch outer screen.
In the previously released Android 12L Beta 2, there was also news that a new animation was found, which described how to insert a SIM card into a foldable phone. And the code for this animation references the "Pipit" code name, which has been mentioned many times. This also once again verifies that Google is advancing the research and development of folding screen products.
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.
In fact, at the end of last year, the news from the source mentioned that Google has 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, as far as the existing news is concerned, the possibility of Google launching its folding screen products seems to exist.
