While Google didn’t really leave much room for what to expect from it this year at the I/O 2022 event, it did miss out on one thing: the highly rumored Pixel foldable device. It seems like this happened for a reason as the tech major is now expected to delay the launch of its first foldable device, slated to happen this year.

A recent report by The Elec suggests that Google might not launch the Pixel foldable device before 2023. Information from Ross Young corroborates this information and hints at a Spring 2023 launch. This is the second time Google’s foldable device has been delayed. It was previously expected to arrive in 2021 but got pushed to a late 2022 launch.

As for what to expect from the first Pixel foldable device, past leaks have hinted at a Pixel Notepad moniker. This Pixel foldable phone is expected to fold like a book, much like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, the Oppo Find N, and various other foldable smartphones out there.
