Latest Details Expose Google Pixel Fold 2’s New Design

-

 


Last year’s Pixel Fold was one of Google’s standout releases. How is it planning to improve its first foldable and support its Android partners?

While the Pixel Fold was not a commercial success, it clearly illustrated Google’s commitment to foldable devices with Android (just as the Pixel Tablet has done the same for the large-screen devices market).





Neither was the Pixel Fold a hit out of the park with the critics, while the design was well-received around the heavy weight of the device, as well as the display and overall durability. And even with the expensive expectations around foldable, the Pixel Fold’s $1800 was seen as a steep ticket price.

For many, the first generation of the Pixel Fold was a well-deserved yet cautious thumbs up while waiting to see what the second iteration of the book-like foldable would deliver.

We’re starting to get some signs of the next Fold thanks to leaked images of the Pixel Fold 2 during its design process.


The leak shows an Engineering Validation Test unit—put together by a potential production line in very limited numbers to work through any design or manufacturing issues. As such, it’s not necessarily close to the final product, but it does offer the broad strokes of the Pixel Fold 2 role… that of supporting actor to the latest crop of foldable devices.




One of the EVT unit's standout features is the outside display change. Rather than the almost square 17.4:9 ratio on the original Fold, the Pixel Fold 2 is expected to use a narrower aspect ratio. This will make it closer to a regular phone screen and allow end users a more natural Android experience.

It’s an approach that other foldable manufacturers are taking, albeit in the opposite direction, thanks to the first few foldable devices sporting incredibly tall and narrow outside cover screens that were, in their own way, just as awkward with the Android UI as the Pixel Fold.

The report also notes a change to the Pixel Fold’s camera bar. Google has worked to make the camera island an iconic design feature on its smartphones and brought it to the first Fold. The Fold 2 EVT is moving towards an isolated camera island, although a change to the shell would be easier to implement than replacing the display… although as an EVT model, all of these are possible if the desire is there.



What is clear is that Google is continuing its support of foldable hardware both within the Android software stack, and visibly with the support of Pixel hardware

The Significance of Fajr Prayer: A Spiritual Dawn Fajr, the pre-dawn prayer, holds a unique and profound significance in Islam. This article aims to elucidate the importance of Fajr prayer, emphasizing its spiritual and transformative aspects that set the tone for the rest of the day. 1. The Early Spiritual Awakening: Fajr prayer is the first of the five daily prayers in Islam and takes place before sunrise. The act of waking up in the early hours demonstrates a conscious effort to prioritize the connection with Allah over the comfort of sleep. This spiritual awakening sets a positive tone for the entire day, aligning the believer with a sense of purpose and mindfulness. 2. The Quranic Embrace: The Fajr prayer includes the recitation of a substantial portion of the Quran, particularly in the first two rakats (units of prayer). This engagement with the words of Allah at the start of the day serves as a spiritual nourishment, providing guidance, wisdom, and solace to the believer. The st

  In the modern world, Valentine's Day has become synonymous with love, romance, and expressions of affection. However, for many adherents of Islam, the celebration of Valentine's Day presents a conundrum – one that requires navigating the delicate balance between cultural norms and religious principles. In this exploration, we delve into the complexities of Islam's stance on Valentine's Day, shedding light on the diverse perspectives within the Muslim community. Understanding Islamic Perspectives on Valentine's Day Islam, like many other religions, places a strong emphasis on modesty, piety, and the preservation of moral values. While the Quran and Hadith – the sacred texts of Islam – do not explicitly mention Valentine's Day, some Muslims argue that the holiday's origins and customs are at odds with Islamic teachings. Valentine's Day, they contend, has roots in pagan and Christian traditions, and its association with expressions of romantic love and af
