Google Pixel Leaked Roadmap

As per a recent report by Android Authority, a leaked roadmap of Google Pixel gives us a glimpse of what the renowned tech giant is planning for the next few years.

The current Pixel offerings have been quite successful, starting with the Pixel 6 series. However, it is worth noting that the lineup of Google is quite limited compared to other giant phone makers like Samsung and Apple.

Currently, the Pixel 7 series only includes two models, the entry-level standard option and the top-of-the-line "Pro" variant. Google also offers a budget phone, the Pixel 6a.

But this time, the renowned search engine giant appears to be looking to expand this current lineup.

An anonymous source of Android Authority disclosed what looks to be the entire roadmap of Google for its Pixel phone for the next three years. And it appears that exciting times are coming.

Google Pixel Fold, Pixel 8 Debut in 2023

Next year or in 2023, Google is reportedly working on releasing its first-ever foldable and the successor of the Pixel 7 series.

The Pixel Fold is expected to rival the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, which sports a sandwich-like foldable display. It could potentially retail for roughly $1,799, according to Phone Arena.

Google is also reportedly gearing up to launch its two flagship devices, the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro.

The source of Android Authority says that the next-generation Pixel would have minor upgrades. However, the standard Pixel 8 is likely sporting a smaller display than its predecessor.

In the same year, the budget Pixel 7a is also debuting. It might receive upgrades, such as wireless charging and a smoother refresh rate than the Pixel 6a.
