Kuba (who’s been leaking a lot of information related to the Pixel Fold in the past) has uploaded a six-second clip of a foldable on Twitter, which he claims is the first live look of Google’s first foldable. We’d earlier seen the Pixel Fold leak in renders, and apparently in the hands of a commuter on the New York Subway, but this could be our best look yet. While there is no logo or the classic Google camera module to distinguish that this indeed is the Pixel Fold, what we do see is the selfie camera, thick internal bezels and rounded edges. The video on the internal screen is blurred, but we do get an idea of the form factor.

As per previous leaks, the Pixel Fold is expected to weigh around or 283gms, which is about 20gms heavier than its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4.The Pixel Fold dimensions when folded are expected to be 5.5 height x 3.1 width x 0.5 depth (inches). We don’t know the exact dimensions unfolded yet.

Pixel Fold price, colours (leaked)

As per Jon Prosser (via 9to5Google), the Pixel Fold price will be $1,799 (over Rs 1.47 lakh) for the 12GB/256GB model in Chalk and Obsidian colours. The Google Pixel Fold 12GB/512GB is expected to be available for $1,919 (over Rs 1.57 lakh) in Obsidian only. As per Prosser, there is a free Pixel Watch for all those who pre-order the Fold.

The Pixel Fold pre-orders will start from May 10th from the Google Store, while the phone is expected to ship starting June 27th, as per the leaked info.

Google Pixel Fold specifications

Prosser has further dwelled on what we can expect from the Pixel Fold spec sheet as follows:
