If you’ve heard rumors that Google was working on not one but two foldable smartphones over the past few months (and years), it turns out those mumblings were actually true, despite the fact that the company ultimately only announced one, namely say the Pixel Fold.
There was apparently a second foldable smartphone created by the same team behind the Pixel Fold. This other device apparently “wasn’t good enough,” which is why it was eventually canceled and never made it to market. The team thought that it should only launch devices that are good enough or better than what is already available.
Unfortunately, this confession of sorts, recorded as part of Google’s official Made by Google podcast, contains no further details on this device. So we don’t know if it had exactly the same form factor as the Pixel Fold or if, perhaps, it went the “flip” route instead. We may never know, but the point is that the research giant’s development team considered the Pixel Fold to be the better device of the two, which is why it survived and the other didn’t.
