Google’s next Pixel Fold smartphone is now rumored to skip the Tensor G3 chipset and go straight to the Tensor G4. The Tensor G4 is expected to power the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro when it launches this October, so if the Fold also features it, it will only see the light of day alongside the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.
The original Pixel Fold was introduced at Google I/O, a conference held in May last year. With that in mind we were hoping to see its successor this May but apparently not – that is, if the rumors are anything to go by.
Performance-wise, Google’s Tensor chipsets have never been record-breaking. That way waiting a few months to get a better chip in the new Fold doesn’t sound like such a bad idea. But wait, there’s more – apparently Google is testing the Pixel Fold 2 with 16GB of RAM, which is more than any Pixel so far. It also gets UFS 4.0 storage, a step up from the UFS 3.1 storage on the OG.
We’ve already seen leaks related to the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, but nothing about the Pixel Fold yet – and that in itself could be an indirect confirmation of today’s rumours.
