Is a foldable Google Pixel phone coming soon? According to a new report, the company has requested Samsung to develop folding OLED displays for a phablet that could launch later this year, maybe referring to the rumored Google 'passport' project.

Korean tech website The Elec (via 9to5Google) said that Google "has requested Samsung Display develop a foldable OLED panel around 7.6-inch in size." That's the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, for reference, giving united states a sense of what a Pixel foldable telephone could look like.

  • The all-time foldable phones right now
  • Everything we know about Google Pixel v Pro

We've seen hints of a so-chosen Pixel Fold foldable phone before, but no updates on the under-wraps project since the Google Pixel 5 lineup launched last year. Perhaps a foldable is destined to accompany the Google Pixel half dozen handsets, expected this fall.

The Elec'south report too names Oppo and Xiaomi as smartphone makers Samsung is allegedly providing displays for. Although the site says "smartphones using these panels will launch inside the year," it does not analyze which brands will bring new foldables to market before the others.

No matter the Google foldable'due south release date, the report confirms a key detail well-nigh the rumored telephone. Previously, we didn't know whether Google would follow Samsung'southward approach to foldable smartphone engineering, or if it would produce something like the Microsoft Surface Duo.

At present it seems Google is creating a true Galaxy Z series rival that could arrive to battle the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, or even the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. The Elec said Samsung is developing both in-folding (think Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip) and out-folding (think Huawei Mate X) displays for the trio of smartphone makers, but doesn't specify which blueprint Google has requested.

Whichever way information technology works, the nigh exciting attribute about a Google Pixel Fold (or foldable Google Pixel, any) isn't the hardware. Information technology's that the company would be motivated to maximize Android's potentials on a larger screen. Samsung has managed, but the electric current phablet Android experience could certainly exist smoother.
