Google Pixel Fold 2 display sizes tipped

The Pixel Fold 2 is tipped to feature a large 8.02-inch inner folding display, according to a post on X by Ross Young (CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants). In comparison, the original Pixel Fold shipped with a 7.6-inch folding screen.
The foldable is tipped to measure a 6.29-inch cover screen diagonally. While the original screen has a 5.8-inch outer screen.

Ross says the panel production for the Pixel Fold 2 will begin in April, which could imply a launch in May.
Going by the leak, the Pixel Fold 2’s cover screen is longer and narrower than the original fold. This might eliminate the original issues with apps opening in landscape mode when unfolding.

The Google Pixel Fold 2 is rumoured to skip the Tensor G3, and instead feature the yet-to-be-announced Tensor G4 chipset. This could mean the foldable might debut alongside the Pixel 9 series later this year. However, there are chances that the Mountain View giant might unveil the new Tensor SoC ahead of the usual cycle and prepare the ground for the Pixel 9 series.
