Photos: This is the canceled Pixel Fold that wasn't good enough for Google
Why did Google merge the "pipit" and "passport" device projects?
Google merged the "pipit" and "passport" device projects because they eventually converged into a single device, which continued to be called "pipit3." While they were different projects at some point, it seems that combining them allowed for a more focused development effort and a unified vision for the final product.
What were the display specifications of the "pipit" prototype?
The "pipit" prototype had a slightly smaller outer display at 66 x 128mm compared to the Pixel Fold's 67 x 130mm. The resolution also differed slightly at 1,080 x 2,100 pixels compared to the Pixel Fold's 1,080 x 2,092. The refresh rate ranged from 10 Hz to 120 Hz.
What software version was "pipit" intended to run?
"Pipit" was intended to run Android 12L, which was Google's large screen-optimized version of Android. It would have been one of the first devices to run this software, had it not been canceled.
