Google may be close to launching its long-rumored foldable Pixel phone. CNBCclaims to have seen internal communications revealing that the Pixel Fold will be announced at the I/O conference on May 10th, and ship in June. The device will reportedly cost around $1,700, or close to the $1,800 Samsung asks for the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
The company may tout a few advantages over its rival. The Pixel Fold will have a book-like design with a 5.8-inch external screen and 7.6-inch folding display, but will supposedly have the “most durable hinge” of any foldable, according to Google. It should also be water-resistant and pack a larger battery that lasts up to 24 hours in normal use, and 72 hours with Extreme Battery Saver.
Don’t expect performance gains. The Pixel Fold will apparently use the same Tensor G2 chip as in the Pixel 7 series, and previous leaks suggest it might have cameras that predate the Pixel 6. As with other Pixels, the draw may be the ‘pure’ Android experience — this will be the first opportunity to see Google’s own approach to foldable devices.
The price is still steep compared to regular Pixel phones, which top out at $899 for the Pixel 7 Pro. Google may sweeten the deal by encouraging trade-ins, however. The company may even offer a free Pixel Watch to Fold buyers.
If the details are accurate, the foldable Pixel may not be an easy sell. Google is expected to debut the Pixel 8 this fall, and that’s likely to include upgrades like a third-generation Tensor chip. With that in mind, North Americans have had few options for foldable phones beyond the Galaxy Z Fold series and previous-gen Moto Razr models. The Pixel Fold may stand out simply by providing real competition in a small category.

The Sony World Photography Awards recently crowned an image created by artificial intelligence as the winner of the Creative category. The photograph, titled Pseudomnesia: The Electrician, was created using OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 image generator by German photographer Boris Eldagsen. Eldagsen submitted the work intentionally to spark discussion about how AI-generated images are redefining the understanding of photography.
However, some representatives of the competition criticized him for deceiving the judges by not mentioning that the image was AI-generated. On the other hand, some members of the judging panel argued that they were aware of the work being AI-generated beforehand.
A spokesperson for the Sony World Photography Awards confirmed that Eldagsen had co-created the image using AI and that the competition had been supportive of his participation after reviewing his warranties; the Creative category has always acknowledged experimental works that challenge the boundaries of photography. The competition was looking forward to talking with Eldagsen and had prepared questions for a dedicated Q&A session on their website.
Eldagsen, on the other hand, has refuted the claims that the competition knew about the AI-generated image beforehand. He criticized them for “pretending to know”, adding that it was only after the international photo community discussed it on social media and the Times and BBC inquired about it that the competition acknowledged the issue.
Eldagsen’s entry was removed and his award was rescinded, with the ones behind the Competition stating that they will no longer engage in dialogue with the photographer.
