Google has launched a new flagship phone in 2025 and has a lot to talk about.
that Pixel 10 Series Most of the bases are included in low models (PIXEL 10), small advanced handsets (PIXEL 10 PRO), large screen phones (PIXEL 10 Pro XL) and book style folding (Pixel 10 Pro XL). together Pixel 9a This is a comprehensive lineup from the beginning of this year.
However, despite the fact that the third generation of books can be folded, there is no sign of a sign that Google makes a flip phone. With Samsung now The seventh generation of Galaxy Z flipIt feels like a curious omission.
Personally, I want to see the pixel flipped in the near future, but Google clearly obviously obviously an obstacle or objection to prevent the launch. Let’s explore what these are and how to overcome them.
Flipphone is not popular enough
Fair claim.
According to counterpoint As a result, only 1.5 %of the total European smartphone sales volume came from the folding device in the first quarter of 2025. Of course, the book style device is included and the flip phone provides a small piece of pie.
But if this is a problem of Google, why did you interfere with Pixel 10 Pro Fold? The device doesn’t seem to think later. Some important upgrades have been introduced this year.
Despite the dominance of the market, Samsung does not make a lot of money in folding sales. However, since 2020, we have not prevented the launch of the new Galaxy Z Flip and Z Folds every year.
Like Samsung, Google is one of a small number of technical companies that is enough to maintain products that are not sold in large numbers. It is important if the product category wants to grow.
They are still too expensive
They are not, but not forbidden. Premium flipphones cost more than £ 1,000/$ 1,000, but this matches many high -end handsets.
Also, the wave of the new device Galaxy Z flip 7 Fe General Motorola Razr 60 (known as Razr 2025 in the United States).
If Google is not comfortable at the premium price range, you can always start and test the water. Unlike the book style device, buying a modern flip phone does not mean that you should pay a lot of additional cash.
Flip phone is essentially damaged
At least it is true when looking at the current option. In general, you can expect a battery smaller than a regular phone, but in general, the camera is usually a missing lens and downgraded.

But preliminary flip telephone buyers will be able to endure these compromises, such as much more compact design, cover screens that encourage careful use, and the ability to use the main camera for selfies.
In the latter case, you can take pictures of you and friends using the top rear sensor of the pixel. And I want to see what Google can do with cover screen software.
If Google can see the potential of the book style device, don’t ignore the flip phone due to the limit.
There are already so many competition
If you look at the flip telephone market worldwide, this is a convincing claim. Chinese brands such as Vivo, Oppo, ZTE, XIAOMI, Infinix, Tecno and Huawei are all threatening to new immigrants.
But in the UK, these devices are not sold much and no one in the United States. The only real rivals for most consumers in both countries are Samsung and Motorola. And there’s no reason why Pixel flip could not beat Razr about popularity.

Propolds have not been completely established yet
You can claim that, but what does ‘established’ mean? Well -known products, powerful sales or alcoholic appeals? Google is now involved in the third generation’s style folding ceremony and says it has been established enough.
If the new product category is consistently good and all the company has been waiting for it, we will hardly innovate. At some point, you have to take risks, and the potential negative results of Google are relatively minimum.
The company is definitely not used to canceling the product, so the failed pixel flip test does not lead to any kind of true scandal.
On the contrary, Google offers a good opportunity to create its own name in a product category that has not yet taken off.
