According to evidence found in the latest version of the Google Pixel Buds app, it seems that Google may be developing another foldable Android phone, potentially named the Pixel Flip or Pixel Fold 2. The code in the app references a device codenamed “Comet,” which is mentioned alongside the Pixel Fold and is even referred to as a “fold” by the app. Although details about the device are limited, it is believed to be separate from the typical annual Pixel release cycle, as it does not use a dog breed codename like the rest of the Pixel lineup. It is unclear whether Comet is an early preparation for the Pixel Fold 2 or if it indicates a new foldable style like Samsung’s Pixel Flip.
The mention of Comet in the code suggests that Google is planning to release another foldable Android phone in addition to this summer’s Pixel Fold. The unique codename and its association with the Pixel Fold differentiate it from the Pixel 8 series and the upcoming Pixel 9 series, which are expected to use dog breed and reptile-related codenames respectively. The code also indicates that Comet is a “fold,” which further supports the idea of another foldable device in development. However, it remains uncertain whether Comet will be a successor to the Pixel Fold or a completely new foldable style like Samsung’s Flip.
It is yet to be known what features and specifications the Pixel Flip or Pixel Fold 2 may offer. The article concludes by asking readers for their preference between a Pixel Fold or a Pixel Flip and what they would like to see from Google’s next foldable phone. It is worth mentioning that the information decoded from the app’s code is subject to change, and Google may or may not move forward with the development of these features.
