Google Pixel 12 lineup leak reveals four models including foldable device
Google’s upcoming Pixel 12 lineup is shaping up ahead of its anticipated 2027 launch, with reports pointing to four distinct models. GSMA IMEI records suggest the lineup will include a standard Pixel 12, two Pro variants, and a foldable device. Display specifications have also been revealed, with the Pixel 12 Pro Fold featuring an inner display resolution of 2296 by 2404 pixels.
The most significant upgrade in the Pixel 12 Pro Fold appears to address a common issue with foldable phones: the crease in the center of the display. Google is reportedly working with Samsung Display on prototype OLED panels that use ultra-thin glass layers to distribute folding stress more evenly, potentially reducing the visibility of the crease over time.
Google will face stiff competition in the foldable market, where rivals like Apple and Samsung are also tackling the crease problem. Apple’s iPhone Duo uses a similar dual-glass structure, while Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 employs titanium reinforcement. The Pixel 12 Pro Fold’s success will likely depend on its pricing, durability, and overall user experience compared to these established competitors.
Google has not officially confirmed the Pixel 12 lineup, display specifications, or design details. Further insights may emerge from regulatory listings, supplier reports, and prototype leaks as the company finalizes its 2027 hardware lineup.
