Will Google Pixel Fold Outshine Samsung Galaxy Z Fold? We'll Know Next Week

Alphabet Inc.’s GOOG GOOGL Google Pixel Fold has finally arrived — will it be able to dethrone Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd’s SSNLF dominance in the foldable phone space? 

What Happened: The Pixel Fold, Google’s inaugural foldable smartphone, is slated to debut at the upcoming Google I/O 2023 conference on May 10. 

Although the company has not disclosed any specific details about the highly-anticipated Pixel Fold, a teaser video posted on Thursday showcases a large external display on the device that unfolds eerily similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold models – but that’s not the only similarity.

Google Pixel Fold is expected to have a price tag of $1700, while Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is currently priced at $1799. 

Individuals who are keen to learn more about the Pixel Fold can register for updates on a dedicated page on the Google Store, which will provide further information following its official unveiling. 

Why It’s Important: Previous reports suggested that Pixel Fold is designed as a 5.8-inch phone that can be unfolded into a 7.6-inch tablet, boasting a Google Tensor G2 processor, weighing around 10 ounces and featuring a hinge that is expected to be the most resilient among foldable devices. 

Earlier, it was also reported that Samsung is mulling over the possibility of replacing Google with Microsoft Corporation’s MSFT Bing AI as the default search engine for its smartphones.
