Washington: Tech giant Google is all set to introduce its first-ever foldable smartphone, Pixel Fold, during the Google I/O 2023 event on May 10.

According to The Verge, an American technology news website, Google hasn't revealed any specs for the device, but a brief teaser video shows off a full-size outer display on a phone that opens up similarly to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold devices. The camera bar on the back is similar to other Pixel devices but doesn't stick out as prominently, reflecting what we've seen in leaked marketing materials and even a hands-on video.

The smartphone has been a part of the rumours mill for quite some time now, but its development is finally confirmed.

Taking to Twitter, Google dropped a video of the upcoming smartphone which they captioned, "May The Fold Be With You."
