Google seems to be internally testing a second foldable Pixel smartphone, in response to 9to5Google’s sources. The machine is claimed to be beneath improvement with the codename “Jumbojack,” that’s referenced in a future model of Android 12 which 9to5Google identifies as “Android 12.1.” This is the most recent foldable codename we’ve heard about at Google, following experiences of one other machine referred to as “Passport.”
Not a lot is thought about what kind Jumbojack might take, however 9to5Google has a few key particulars. It appears to have two screens, with one which deactivates when the machine is folded. That suggests we’re taking a look at an identical design to Samsung’s foldables, which mix a small exterior display with a bigger inner folding show. There’s no phrase on display sizes or inner specs, nevertheless.
Interestingly, there’s hypothesis that the Jumbojack codename may very well be a reference to Jack within the Box’s Jumbo Jack cheeseburger, an implication that the cellphone will fold “hamburger style” like a Z Flip versus “hotdog style” like a Z Fold. But, very like the foodstuffs, that hypothesis is greatest taken with a superb pinch of salt.
Unlike Passport, which as late as June was reportedly nonetheless on monitor for a launch in late 2021, there’s no indication about when or even when Jumbojack will see a industrial launch. There’s a risk it’d simply be an inner prototype, designed to assist construct foldable performance like improved multitasking into Android itself. Regardless, its existence suggests Google is extra critical about foldables that it initially appeared as the corporate gears as much as produce its first true flagship competitor with the Pixel 6.
