The first foldable Pixel may get a unique placement for the front-facing selfie/video chat camera.
The tipster says that the back of the Pixel Fold/Notepad resembles the Pixel 7 which means that it will have a camera bar on the back. Interestingly, he also found a resemblance between the front of the Pixel Fold/Notepad and the foldable Oppo Find N. The latest rumored size of the Pixel Fold’s internal screen is 7.6-inches, the same size expected for the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The foldable Pixel could feature a 5.85-inch internal screen.
The front-facing camera on the Pixel Fold could be embedded in the frame
Digital Chat Station noted that the foldable Pixel Fold/Notepad will open and close horizontally, like a book. An icon found inside the Google Camera 8.6 update appears to be a diagram showing how the device is closed. And the Weibo post goes on to state that the internal display has no punch-hole or notch making it a full-sized display. The selfie and video chat camera is located on the frame of the device which could lead to thicker bezels for the phone.
The on-again-off-again-on-again Pixel Fold/Notepad will be powered by Google’s own Tensor chipset and is expected to have the same rear cameras as seen on the Pixel 5. That means that the foldable should sport a primary camera backed with a 12.2MP sensor, and an ultra-wide camera backed with a 16MP sensor.
Will Google reward those who held on to their Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro units?
Not that there are many issues left on the 2021 Pixel flagships once you install Android 13 beta 4.1. The beleaguered fingerprint scanner on this writer’s Pixel 6 Pro now works like a charm and the overall feel of the phone is smoother and faster. Still, many users have put up with the various bugs for many months and while many ended up returning their Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro and buying an iPhone 13 Pro Max or the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, those that remained true to their new Pixels should be rewarded.
