Google has made waves in the smartphone industry for years with its award-winning Pixel line, and this year's I/O keynote promises to unveil one of its newest creations: The Pixel Fold. Touted as "an innovative foldable device that folds horizontally like a book," its unveiling has caused quite an uproar among tech enthusiasts and analysts.

One of the Pixel Fold's standout features is its folding mechanism. When closed up, its display should feature 5.8 inches. When unfolded, however, that number could grow to a 7.6-inch screen size, it is an impressive achievement compared to similar foldable devices, which typically offer smaller displays.

Google's Tensor G2 chip should provide significant improvements in terms of both performance and power efficiency for the Pixel Fold.
