Will the Pixel Fold ever exist? There is an increasing chorus from the rumor mill saying that Google's first foldable phone will launch at Google's I/O conference in May. The latest rumor is from CNBC's Jennifer Elias, who says the device will be announced at I/O and go on sale sometime in June, with a price that's "upward of $1,700." An earlier report from WinFuture also pegged the Pixel Fold with a June release date.
The report is based on internal photos and documents seen by CNBC and details many of the specs we've seen in previous rumors: There's a 7.6-inch inner display, a 5.8-inch outer display, and Google's Tensor G2 chip. The phone reportedly weighs 10 oz, or 283 g, which is heavier than a Galaxy Fold 4. One surprise spec is water resistance, which no foldable vendor other than Samsung ever attempts.
