Previous reports suggest that Google might be working on two foldable smartphones. Recently, a developer discovered the mention of a foldable smartphone codenamed ''Felix'' in a line of code from Google''s Android 13 Quarterly Platform Release 1 (QPR1).
The foldable handset is said to feature a triple rear camera setup, including an IMX787 primary sensor, an IMX386 ultra-wide angle lens, and a S5K3J1 telephoto lens. Earlier this year, a Google codenamed ''Pipit'' had also surfaced. The developer claims that the Tensor SoC featured in this model has become outdated.
A recent investigation suggests that Google''s foldable smartphone could be named Pixel Fold or Pixel Notepad. It is reportedly being delayed earlier this year in May. It is expected to feature a 7.57-inch inner display and a 5.78-inch outer display with an ultra-thin glass cover.
