On Wednesday, May 10 at 19.00 hours (Spanish time) took place the <strong>Keynote<\/strong> of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/what-great-news-we-can-expect-in-google-io-2023?ex=DINS-635.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google I\/O 2023<\/a><\/strong>, its annual conference for developers.

All this and many more new features, including (as everyone knew) Google&#8217;s highly anticipated <strong>Pixel Fold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pixel Fold is Google&#8217;s big bet to enter the <strong>foldable phone market<\/strong>, currently dominated by the Korean company Samsung. Google&#8217;s new device in a 2\u00d71: on the one hand, you have a next-generation mobile and, on the other, a small tablet when you need <strong>more space to work<\/strong>, run applications or want to watch multimedia content much more comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/Google-Pixel-Fold-090523-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/Google-Pixel-Fold-090523-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/Google-Pixel-Fold-090523-1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/Google-Pixel-Fold-090523-1-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/Google-Pixel-Fold-090523-1-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/Google-Pixel-Fold-090523-1-150x120.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being foldable, the Pixel Fold is composed of two screens; on the one hand, we find an <strong>internal OLED screen of 7.6 inches<\/strong>, 2208 x 1840 pixels resolution at 380 ppi, an aspect ratio of 6:5 and a <strong>refresh rate of up to 120 Hz<\/strong>. On the other hand, its rear display shares the specs of the internal one, but is 5.8 inches and has a resolution of 2092 x 1080.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When folded, the Pixel Fold is <strong>12.1 millimeters thick<\/strong>, thus being thinner than Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Z Fold 3, at almost 15 millimeters. Its hinge is precisely one of the strong points of the design; as Google explained to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/05\/10\/googles-pixel-fold-set-for-a-late-june-release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TechCrunch<\/a><\/strong>, the device has a <strong>180-degree fluid friction hinge<\/strong>, which would allow us to place it wherever we want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Pixel Fold includes a <strong>three-camera system on the back<\/strong>: a 48-megapixel main camera; a 10.8-megapixel ultrawide; and a 10.8-megapixel telephoto lens with <strong>5x optical zoom and a 20x high-resolution zoom<\/strong>. On the other hand, the front camera is 9.5 megapixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Google Pixel Fold: The Only Foldable Engineered by Google\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9wobcM-WPQk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pixel Fold also features a <strong>4,821 mAh battery<\/strong>, 30 W wired fast charging, wireless charging, 12 Gb of RAM and 256\/512 Gb of storage (depending on the model chosen). Also, with a <strong>Tensor G2<\/strong> chip that brings great performance, switching between screens is smooth, changing and resizing the size of apps without any problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Multitasking on Pixel Fold combines Google&#8217;s largest smartphone screen with the performance of Tensor G2, in all modes,&#8221; the company explains. &#8220;Do more things at once by opening two apps side-by-side with Split Screen on the large interior display. Drag and drop images, videos, links and text from one app to another for super-fast and easy sharing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pixel Fold is already on sale, although only in some markets (it is not available in Spain, at the moment). In the United States, it can already be reserved for <strong>1,800 dollars<\/strong>, and will be available in <strong>June this year<\/strong>. A price not suitable for all pockets, as will be seen, and which will make its adoption by the general public very difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pixel Fold is Google&#8217;s first foldable mobile device, created to compete with a Samsung that leads the foldable mobile market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9256,"featured_media":229314,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[4228],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-229311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-app-subdomain-redirectionbard-google-ai"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9256"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229311"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":320378,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229311\/revisions\/320378"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229311"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=229311"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=229311"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=229311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
