I’m really proud of the team because there was another foldable model that we had created, that we had the discipline to hold back and say “nope, it’s not good enough yet,” and really wait until we felt like we could do something that was good enough or better than what was out there already. So, it’s really a testimony to the fact that we’re able to do that and recognize when something isn’t good enough.

A flip-style Pixel foldable is definitely within the realm of possibilities, especially since this was already discussed during an interview at Google I/O 2023 with Google Pixel Product Manager George Hwang. When asked, Hwang confirmed that Google is definitely interested in exploring different form factors and technologies, including the flip-style.
Based on this, it wouldn’t be crazy to think that this Pixel Fold that never was could have been the “Pixel Flip”. This is definitely a positive sign for the future of Google’s foldable phone efforts and it shows that the company is committed to the market and is willing to take the time to get it right.
