So, the Pixel Fold 2 is coming soon, isn't it? Seems to be Google's attempting to stop people in their tracks with this one. It's as though they gave the original a shot of espresso and added some extra style points. We're talking a screen that unfurls into a tablet-sized material, cameras that likely see phantoms (or if nothing else take astounding pics), and ideally, a battery duration that will endure longer than your capacity to focus. Let's just hope it doesn't cost a lot of money; keep your fingers crossed that the price tag won't break the bank!
