Samsung will launch the long-awaited Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 new folding screens at the Galaxy Unpacked conference in a few weeks. At the same time, there are rumors that Google will also bring the so-called Pixel Fold in 2021. A person familiar with the display industry said that Pixel Fold is expected to meet with you in the second half of 2021, and the search giant may also launch a rolling screen smartphone.
BGR pointed out that although Google has never kept the secrets of Nexus or Pixel series smartphones, rumors about Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 XL and their estimated release dates this year are not as frequent as expected. Earlier, we have seen the so-called appearance design and specifications, as well as some tidbits about software and camera upgrades. But if the new rumors are reliable, the company is likely to launch three new Pixel models including folding screens in 2021.
According to news from South Korea, Pixel Fold will be one of the new foldable devices that get OLED screen + UTG protective glass from Samsung, suggesting that it is as durable as the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3. In addition, display industry expert Ross Young predicted about a month ago that the legendary Pixel Roll roll-up model is unlikely to appear within 12 months, but the Pixel Fold may arrive in the second half of 2021.
For reference, LG, which has recently faded out of the smartphone market, seems to have abandoned its Rollable product line. At the same time, it hasn’t been long since OPPO showed off its first rolling screen smartphone. Finally, combined with the many revelations of Ross Young, we are expected to usher in a total of eight folding screen smartphones in 2021. If all goes well, we will at least usher in new Pixel 6 family products at the press conference in early October.
