Pixel Fold

[Torisen1]

Anyone interested in the rumored Pixel Fold over the 6? I don't think I'm quite in the foldable phone camp yet.

I belive they using Samsung technology, im curious for sure , love all tech .

Google has the Billion$ to launch any device with basically no impact on bottom line. When is the last time they had a real winner device Nexus?

It looks pretty cool but, like you, I'm not ready to jump into the fold, so to speak.

I didn't know Google was making a folding phone.... so it's based on the Samsung Fold? I was hoping someone would come out with a rollable screen phone like LG showed off before they "folded", pardon the pun

I love puns! Nicely done, even though LG's folding was sad!

I didn't know anything about it either until I read about it here and suddenly came upon a Pixel Fold rumours page, either here or on Google News/Feed.

Now THIS interests me. I think I am more rollable than foldable right now. Due to thickness

I like rollable but need to see in person.

Not really interested in a foldable that goes from a ~ 6" slab to unfold to a tablet. Now if they were do do something like the z-flip, allowing one to take a large phone and fold it to easily fit in a shirt pocket (and protect the screen), I'd be very interested.

It'll be 6 / 6 Pro (more likely the latter) this year for me.

Yep I mean exactly like that! Thanks so much for posting that link....it looks like my current pixel is going to have to last until that rollable is out, price allowing I want a rollable as my next phone. Imagine that phone with 5 years of software support

Wow! That's definitely not the leak I was looking at before! Looks good!

I have zero interest in a foldable phone. A phone that is double the thickness is not welcome in my pocket.

That's true about pocketable-ness (or lack thereof) and portability. Whatever phone I get has to be able to fit in my purse pockets!

I have no interest in what would perhaps be better called an UNfoldable phone like the Z-fold and purported Pixel Fold (as opposed to foldable or non-foldable), i.e. one that unfolds into a larger form factor/tablet, but am interested in watching the evolution of foldable phones which go from a traditional phone form factor to something smaller, like the Z-Flip. Right now these are actually more than twice the thickness, but as they iterate on the hinge that should diminish, and (to me) having the ability to make the phone more readily pocketable in terms of length and more protective of the display would be worth some increase in thickness.

A little more new info and what the heck could Slider be?

The Slider could be a rollable screen phone like LG showed off, where one side of the phone slides out to increase the screen size like a foldable, without the double thickness..... Samsung and a couple other companies were also working on one.
