Just hours away from the announcement of the new Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro<\/a>, there’s recently been a clue hinting that the tech giant might be working on a new smartphone<\/strong>. But that’s not all \u2013 the hint discovered by the publication 9to5Google<\/a> suggests that those at Mountain View are developing a new line of foldable phones that don’t belong to the Pixel Fold series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The mentioned publication suggests that through the code of the latest version of the Pixel Buds app<\/strong>, a new, unannounced, and entirely unknown Pixel device has been revealed. In fact, this device is listed under the codename “Comet,” <\/strong>which is quite different from the nomenclature typically used for Pixel devices. For example, Pixel 8 devices had names based on dog breeds<\/strong>, while it’s rumored that the upcoming Pixel 9 devices will be associated with names of reptiles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip might have a new competitor from Google<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This “Comet” device doesn’t seem to fit into either of the two mentioned Google device series<\/strong>. All of this speculation has given rise to various theories, including the possibility of a new foldable Pixel by Google. This new device could feature different specifications and a more affordable price<\/strong> compared to the existing models from the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it might make some sense to consider “Comet” as a new addition to the Pixel Fold<\/a> series, given that the first version of this series was launched just a few months ago, it would be quite unusual<\/strong>. So, without ruling out any possibilities since there’s no official confirmation yet, it’s highly likely that the company is working on a new model of foldable phones with a clamshell design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip<\/strong>, making it a direct competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no expectation that this rumored new foldable phone by Google will be mentioned during the announcement of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. However, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that this device, which we could refer to as Pixel Flip, might be launched soon<\/strong> at a more affordable price point compared to the Pixel Fold series (which is priced at $1,800<\/strong>). Nevertheless, this launch could potentially happen outside Google’s regular release cycle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

We’ll see if this ends up being confirmed, but if true, we could be witnessing the arrival of a significant competitor for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip<\/strong>, as we’ve already discussed. Interestingly, Samsung itself acknowledged that the Galaxy Z Flip was more popular than the Z Fold<\/strong>. It would indeed be intriguing to see another contender in the market for these clamshell-style foldable devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
