Google has showcased the Pixel Fold, the first foldable smartphone for the company. Built around a 7.6-inch foldable display, the Pixel Fold also has a 5.8-inch cover display, a Google Tensor G2 chipset and a 48 MP triple rear-facing camera set up, among other features.

The Pixel 7a has yet to be announced by Google - however, it already somehow has listings on the online US marketplace Swappa. The popular source of second-hand smartphones has a page for the new mid-range handset, which, furthermore, has multiple listings for allegedly in-hand units. They all drop similar strong hints as to the 7a's specs and color options ahead of their official reveal.

Full European pricing has leaked for the Pixel Tablet, Google's return to releasing tablets after a period of absence. Not only will the Pixel Tablet retail for more than Apple's entry-level iPad, but it will also cost more than the cheapest iPad Air configuration.
