Google's I/O 2023 event will take place on May 10 and the tech giant is expected to unveil its long-rumoured Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a during its annual conference. Now, a new leak suggests that the much-awaited foldable smartphone from Google will be made available in June alongside Pixel 7a. The Pixel Fold is said to come in carbon and porcelain colour options with 256GB of storage. The Pixel 7a, on the other hand, could debut in a single 128GB storage variant in arctic blue, carbon, cotton, and Jade shades.

German publication WinFuture.de has leaked the alleged release date, storage, and colour options of the Google Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a. According to the report, both models will go on sale at the beginning of June. The foldable handset is said to come in carbon and porcelain colour options and it could pack 256GB of internal storage. The Google Pixel 7a is tipped to be offered in arctic blue, carbon, cotton, and Jade colour variants and it is said to feature 128GB of onboard storage.

The Google Pixel Fold could cost EUR 1,700 (roughly Rs. 1,49,000). The price tag is in line with previously leaked figures.
