Recent 3D renders from YouTuber TT Technology provide a clearer glimpse into the design of Google’s upcoming Pixel Fold 2. These renders, based on leaked information, offer a better understanding of the device, although they may not perfectly mirror the final product.
One noticeable change in the design is the camera module, which now features a rectangular shape compared to the original model’s bar-style design. The module includes a pill-shaped cutout that houses the camera sensors, along with an LED light extending slightly to the right. The Pixel Fold 2 also showcases squared-off edges, giving it a sleek aesthetic.
In terms of the camera system, the Pixel Fold 2 is expected to sport a quad-camera setup, consisting of primary, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses. The purpose of the fourth sensor is still speculative, with suggestions ranging from a periscope telephoto lens to an infrared/spectral/ToF sensor.
Rumors suggest that the Pixel Fold 2 will be powered by the upcoming Tensor G4 chipset, bypassing the Tensor G3 chipset specifically designed for foldable devices. This development could potentially impact the smartphone’s launch timeline. Traditionally, Google unveils new Tensor chipsets at its fall hardware event. However, if the Pixel Fold 2 debuts at this year’s I/O event, it might not feature the latest Tensor G4. Alternatively, if the I/O event passes without a Pixel Fold 2 launch, skipping the Tensor G3 isn’t entirely improbable, although it remains a rumor for now.
As of now, specific details about the Pixel Fold 2 remain scarce. However, anticipation is building, and it’s likely that rumors and speculations will continue to circulate as the device’s release date draws nearer.
