Google Pixel Fold benchmark suggests the phone is still in the works and coming soon

Along with the Pixel Watch the Google Pixel Fold has long been rumored, and we’ve long wondered when or even if it will launch. But the latest leak suggests that Google is still actively working on it, and that the launch might not be too far out.

MySmartPrice has spotted a Geekbench listing for a Google phone with the codename Pipit, and that’s a codename that’s believed to belong to the Pixel Fold.

The listing reveals a number of details, including that there’s 12GB of RAM, a chipset that lines up with the specs of the Google Tensor found in the Pixel 6, and Android 12 (though we’d expect this phone will actually launch with Android 12L).

There’s nothing too surprising here, but if Google has a version of the phone being benchmarked, and it’s using the Tensor chipset, that suggests it might launch soon. Benchmarks often (though not always) appear close to launch, and if the Pixel Fold was going to launch later than this year we’d expect a newer chipset.
