2023 will be the year of the first leaflet of Googlethe phantom Pixel Fold (or Pixel Notepad). The device, of which renders appeared a few days ago and is probably identified with the code name felix, could be announced around Google I/Obetween April and May.

Recent advances suggest a sale price of $1,799which would put it in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold.

Around the same time as the launch of Pixel FoldGoogle may also introduce the long-awaited Pixel 7a, codenamed lynxwhich should keep the same price as Pixels 6a (459 euros). Your phone should receive several updates including the wireless charging and screen refresh rate a 90Hzand foreshadows himself as one of best buy of the series.

Of course, in the fall Google will launch the new Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, which should be a rather iterative update over the previous generation. The major innovations should be represented by the new chip Tensor G3code name zoom, and the fact that Pixels 8code name shiba, it will be more small. Pixel 8 Pro, codename huskiesit will instead be very similar to the Pixel 7 Pro.

We arrive at 2024, which could be a particularly busy year for Google.

Indeed, there are several changes in the company’s plans:

• the Pixel 8a it may receive a price increase or not be launched
• Besides Pixels 9 and Pixel 9 Prothere may be a Pixel 9 Pro “small”
• new folding?

Let’s go in order. In Google’s plans, the pixel 8a, code name akita, could receive a price increase in the order of 50 euros, but its fate is closely linked to the commercial success of Pixel 7a.

As we anticipated in the previous paragraph, this phone is prefigured as a best buybut depending on audience reception Google may switch to one every two years for the A leaguejust like it does Apple with the series SELF.

As for the new foldable, depending on how the Pixel Fold of 2023 will be welcomed by the market, Google may release a update for the 2024, but the plans are still undefined.

The real news, however, will be in the autumn with the series Pixels 9which will be equipped with the Tensor G4 chip, codenamed redundantand will most likely be composed for the first time by three devices.

Besides Pixels 9which should remain the same size as Pixels 8 (so slightly smaller than Pixel 7), there should be a Pixel 9 Procode name komodo, with 6.7 inch screen, and a other Pro smaller, codename caiman, with screen from 6.3 inches.

The company’s insider says that Google wants to imitate the Apple’s strategy (with iPhones, iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max) and that if prices, names and availability may vary, their realization is already planned.

Make predictions from here to two years for Google it definitely is risky, but that doesn’t mean that GrandeG isn’t planning some strategies. Two are currently on the table, and they will largely depend on the commercial success of the choices made in 2023 and 2024.

As far as leaflets go, Google would stay considering the idea of a clamshell devicein style Galaxy Z Flipwhich is also the most successful of Samsung.

According to the internal source, the Mountain View house could launch a “Pixel 10” series with as many as four devices in the fall:

• the folding clamshell
• Pixel 10, or whatever it will be called
• Pixel 10 Pro “small”
• Pixel 10 Pro

If however the Pixel Fold of 2023 does not meet the favor of the publicGoogle could shelve this idea and still launch four devices for fall 2025, imitating even more brazenly Apple with two Pixel 10s “smooth” that differ in screen size (such as iPhone 14 and 14 Plus) and the two Pros.

Obviously from here to 2025 everything still can happen, but the indications provided indicate Google’s intention to give more and more space to yours smartphone divisiontaking as models Apple and Samsung.

Surely the devices of the GreatG they have an undoubted quality and the unique features at the software level they are an important one value addedthe only doubt is that it arrived a little late, but from what has been leaked so far it seems that in the coming years it will be an uncomfortable competitor for everyone.
