At the moment a picture of what’s presupposed to be a Pixel Fold 2 prototype has been leaked by the identical supply behind yesterday’s report, and you may see it under in all its stealthy glory.
It is simple to immediately discover two issues which can be very completely different with this mannequin. First, the digital camera bump has a brand new form, one which’s very far faraway from the unique Pixel Fold’s visor-like contraption. That is bizarre because the elongated digital camera island stretching throughout most, if not all the again has come to be a defining function of the Pixel line.
Subsequent up, the quilt display of the Pixel Fold 2 is clearly longer and narrower than its predecessor’s, which has a really large kind issue – a lot so, actually, that when opened it registers as panorama mode for apps, which has prompted numerous issues with those who merely refuse to have one. The Pixel Fold 2 is trying set to rectify that by being at the very least a tiny bit longer than it’s large when unfolded, so apps will default to their portrait orientation selves.
Whereas we will not see the inside display, the supply of this picture says it has a hole-punch cutout for the selfie digital camera within the high proper, in contrast to the OG Pixel Fold which has it within the bezel.
