Google hasn’t unveiled its first flexible smartphone alongside the Pixel 6 lineup, but such a device should still come out. The source says this will happen next year.

Google’s first flexible smartphone will get cameras straight from 2018

Sadly, the Pixel Fold (tentative name) won’t get the same set of cameras as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. This set, by the way, made at least the older model one of the best camera phones on the market.

In the code of the new version of Google Camera, the source found a mention of the company’s flexible smartphone, codenamed Pipit. It also states that it will use the same image sensors as the Pixel 5. This means it will have the same main camera as the Pixel 4 and Pixel 3. This is Sony’s old 12MP sensor. IMX363. It will also have a 12MP IMX386 ultra-wide-angle sensor. For the front camera, the Sony IMX355 was chosen, and in the application code of such sensors, two are mentioned at once, that is, the device will have both an internal and an external front camera.

As such, the Pixel Fold won’t surprise you with its camera quality, but the Galaxy Z Fold3 has the same feature. Flexible smartphones simply have less space for today’s large image sensors.
