The Google Pixel Fold is one of the best foldable phones, and a pretty phenomenal first attempt from Google. The question now is what the future of Google’s foldable phone range might have to offer, and a tantalizing piece of evidence suggests that there is another foldable Pixel in the works.
9to5Google’s sleuths have uncovered a new Pixel device in the works, codenamed “Comet”. Apparently they deduced that this isn’t a new phone in the Pixel 8 series, since those devices all have dog-centric names and the Pixel 9 is expected to use reptilian codenames.
Code in the Pixel Buds companion app also labels the Comet device as “fold” and categorizes it with the original Pixel Fold (aka Felix). The question is what kind of foldable this device might be, because the Pixel Buds code isn’t particularly revealing.
What those upgrades might be would totally depend on when the phone launches, and it’s likely that new hardware would be similar to that found in the most recent Pixel flagship — as was the case with the Pixel Fold and the Pixel 7.
This revelation leaves us with more questions than answers, and it isn’t clear what Google’s plans for the future of Pixel foldables is. But it’s comforting to know that there does appear to be a future for the lineup, and that the Pixel Fold wasn’t a one-and-done device.
