Google teases Pixel Fold ahead of I/O

Well, there goes one of the big "surprises" of Google I/O 2023.

After years of rumors suggesting Google was working on a foldable Pixel phone, the company rather abruptly revealed the device with less than a week to go before the big conference where it'll be officially announced. In a tweet on Thursday, Google gave us firm proof that the Pixel Fold exists.

It's just a quick 8-second teaser video, but it shows enough. We can see a phone that looks kind of like you stacked two (thin) Pixel 7s on top of each other, complete with a nearly identical metallic camera bar on the back. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, it's got a roughly phone-shaped outer display and a roughly tablet-shaped inner display when you unfold it.
