Heard from someone I trust that the foldable Pixel - codename: Passport, retail branding: unknown - will indeed launch before the end of the year. And with the global chip shortage still causing all sorts of chaos, it would not be totally unexpected for Google to push some of its experimental devices to a later date.

Google's Galaxy Fold device-a phone that opens up into a larger-screened tablet-has long been rumored with the codename "Passport." We've seen reports say the device will open up to a 7.6-inch display (the same as the Fold 3), and there have been several "Passport" references spotted in the Android codebase. It sounds like that's what we're getting: Google versions of Samsung's two big foldable styles, the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip phones. The foldables will probably have a similar makeup: a metric ton of Samsung hardware DNA with Google software. There's a 50MP Samsung GN1 as the new main camera sensor, and the 120 Hz display will undoubtedly be made by Samsung, too. Google's upcoming slab smartphone is very Samsungy, with a new "Google Tensor" SoC co-developed with Samsung's Exynos division and a Samsung modem with mmWave-the Galaxy S21 doesn't even use a Samsung mmWave modem.
