Google Pixel Fold 2 leak reveals it could be most massive display on a foldable ever

The purported specifications of the Google Pixel Fold 2's displays have potentially been unveiled, thanks to insights shared by smartphone screen expert Ross Young on X.

                    

Based on what Young revealed, the Pixel Fold 2 might have a big 8.02-inch screen inside and a 6.29-inch screen outside. That's much bigger than the original Pixel Fold, which had screens of 7.6 inches and 5.8 inches.

In the world of foldable phones, the Pixel Fold 2 is ready to compete with other top choices. When it's closed, it seems similar in size to the OnePlus Open, but when you open it up, you get a bigger screen. Plus, both its inside and outside screens are bigger than the Galaxy Z Fold 5's screens. However, the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 might have an even bigger 6.4-inch outside screen when it comes out later this year.

Here's a simple chart showing the sizes of the cover and main screens of different foldable phones

Device	Cover Display Size (inches)	Main Display Size (inches)
Google Pixel Fold 2 (rumored)	6.3	8.02
Galaxy Z Fold 6 (rumored)	6.4	7.8 (expected)
OnePlus Open	6.3	7.8
Google Pixel Fold	5.8	7.6
Galaxy Z Fold 5	6.2	7.8

This table makes it easy to see the sizes of the screens on different foldable phones, helping people choose the one that suits them best.

Young thinks the Pixel Fold 2's screens will start being made in April, which means the phone might come out soon. This lines up with the possibility of Google revealing the Pixel Fold 2 at its annual Google I/O event, just like they did with the original Pixel Fold last year.

If Google announces the Pixel Fold 2 at Google I/O, it might also talk about other new stuff, like the more affordable Pixel 8a phone and the upcoming Android 15 software update. People are also looking forward to the Pixel 9 flagship series, which is expected to come out later this year.

Besides the changes in size, rumors say the design of the Pixel Fold 2 might change a lot, especially the cameras on the back. Some people also think it might use a new Tensor G4 chip to make it work better than the original Pixel Fold.
