Google has been prototyping technology for foldable phones, but don’t expect a folding version of the search giant’s flagship Pixel phone or its cheaper Pixel 3A anytime soon.
“We’re definitely prototyping the technology. We’ve been doing it for a long time,” Mario Queiroz, Google’s Pixel development lead, told CNET last week in an interview. According to Querioz, however, “I don’t think there’s a clear use case yet.”
That means we shouldn’t expect a foldable Pixel any time soon, maybe before Samsung or maybe ever. “We’re prototyping foldable displays and many other new hardware technologies, and have no related product announcements to make at this time,” Querioz said in a follow-up statement.
