We know thatGoogleis working on thePixel Fold, its first foldable and a direct rival to theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 4andSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.
But, and Pixel Phone watchers will be familiar with this one, it looks like the as yet unreleased Google phone isn’t as fast as the already-outSamsung, and may not end up being one of thebest foldable phonesto buy as a result.
How does the Pixel Fold compare to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4?
According to the Geekbench data, the Pixel Fold has the Tensor G2 processor. That means two ARM Cortex-X1 CPU cores at 2.85GHz, two ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores at 2.35GHz, and four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores at 1.8GHz. RAM is 12GB and it’s runningAndroid13.
In addition to spec details, the Geekbench entry has benchmarks too. In the single core performance test the Pixel Fold scored 1,047 points, compared to 1,337 for theSamsung GalaxyZ Fold 4. In multi-core, the Pixel scored 3,257 to the Samsung’s 4,028.
It’s pretty clear that in terms of performance at least, the Pixel Fold is going to fall some way behind the current Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and even further behind the next one. But sheer performance isn’t really Google’s thing; rather, the whole point of the Pixel line is to deliver a pure Android experience that rivalsApple’siOS– and to do it at a more reasonable price too. So on that basis, the Pixel Fold could still turn out to be a very desirable folder, even if it isn’t quite a pocket rocket.
