Google has already confirmed that it is preparing to launch its Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro before the end of the year, but it looks like they aren’t the only smartphones in the works from the Mountain View company. In recent months there have been rumors of a “Pixel fold”a new foldable smartphone expected by the end of the current year.

As reported by the GSM Arena website, David Naranjo, director of Display Supply Chain Consultant and an analyst particularly knowledgeable about display technologies, released an online list on Twitter this Thursday. We can discover the various smartphones already out or in preparation equipped with OLED LTPO panels. In the list we naturally find the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, the Galaxy Z Flip 3, the iPhone 13 Pro or the Oppo Find X3 Pro, while a few phones have not yet been presented.

The announced date is the fourth quarter of 2021, or the fourth quarter of the year, from October to December. It is therefore possible that Google will announce its foldable smartphone at the same time as the future Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

As a memory, the advantage of LTPO panels is to get a variable refresh rate that can go up to 120 Hz if needed, but also drop when the panel is used less, to save battery.
