Google's interest in folding smartphones is certain. The Mountain View company would have entrusted the manufacture of its own to Samsung and it would begin shortly.
Will Google launch a folding phone in 2021? According to The Elec website, Samsung (which with theZ Flip and the Z Fold 2 has taken a certain lead over the competition) will begin production of folding OLED panels for third-party manufacturers.
Among them there would be Vivo, Xiaomi and also Google. The rumor of a folding Pixel dating from last August, which wants the Mountain View giant to be particularly interested in this technology, is gaining momentum.
Google seduced by the folding format
In reality, Google has never really hidden its ambition to develop a folding smartphone. During the last Google I / O, the firm dedicated a session to the problem generated by this new format and undertook to modify its OS, Android, to make its use even more relevant on a folding smartphone..
In recent weeks, the folding file at Google seems to have accelerated. The smartphone would have a code name "Passport" and could be announced very soon. The Elec claims it is a 7.6 inch diagonal model.
Samsung therefore seems to have taken control of the production of folding OLED panels for smartphones. In addition to the Pixel Fold potential, the Korean would provide 8-inch folding OLED panels for Vivo and Xiaomi, which in the case of these two smartphones would also be completed by a third 6.52-inch screen once the smartphone is folded in half, like the Fold.
As for Oppo, the project of a folding smartphone with a 7.7-inch screen is still on the table, again Samsung would be in production, but the announcement would be postponed until 2022...
Google's folding smartphone would have a 7.6-inch screen made by Samsung..
