One of the things we expected or hoped to see in the announcement of the Pixel 6 and did not get, was the Pixel Fold, a foldable version with a flexible screen of the pixel.

Now there are rumors that the product has just been canceled.

Ross Young, a consultant for screen supply chains (that's exactly her name), claims that by canceling parts that were required for a folding pixel, the device is not expected to come out at least before 2022.



On the face of it, Google apparently thinks its phone is not good enough to compete Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold, which is already in its third generation and is overall a successful and relatively mature device, which is a success.



As you may recall, Google announced a few weeks ago the Pixel 6 phones, which include the new tensor processor from Google itself, which has already introduced pretty amazing capabilities in artificial intelligence: completely live translation in 48 languages, combined with a series of instant messaging apps for typing, and simultaneous voice translation Full of language to language, and everything is done locally, without the need for a network connection.

These abilities also exist in faster and better dictation, with understanding the context.

So, it's pretty clear why Android fans were expecting a phone that would incorporate the new tensor chip and a large flexible screen in a folding configuration.



At the same time, we have not lost hope: Google will soon announce Android 12L, a version designed for tablets and devices with a large screen.

It is not inconceivable that the folding pixel, which has now been claimed to be canceled, will appear there.
