The latest speculation surrounding the Pixel Fold 2 suggests that prior leaks may have misjudged the device’s display sizes. According to information shared by leaker Ross Young on X, the inner foldable display of the Pixel Fold 2 might measure 8.02 inches, while the cover display is expected to be 6.29 inches.
The leaks on the Pixel Fold 2 don’t have the display sizes right. 8.02″ for the foldable display and 6.29″ for the cover display. Panel production starts in April! It is coming.

Earlier rumors hinted at a potential inner display size of up to 7.9 inches, probably influenced in part by Young’s previous predictions indicating that Google opted for larger displays on its upcoming Pixel 9 series and the Pixel Fold 2 compared to their predecessors. For reference, the original Pixel Fold has a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.8-inch cover display.
While these differences may seem small, a larger display could offer users slightly more screen real estate, enhancing the overall user experience.
Additionally, Young mentions that production of the display panels is set to begin in April. This timeline aligns with a potential announcement and launch timeline similar to the original Pixel Fold‘s pattern in 2023.
Google unveiled the Pixel Fold at Google I/O in May 2023, followed by a July 27 launch. However, it’s important to note that the launch timeframe for the new device is not guaranteed to mirror its predecessor’s schedule. Stay tuned for further updates as the Pixel Fold 2 unfolds its details.
