The Google Pixel 6a is in stores in neighboring countries, and more Pixel products are planned this year. We know that thanks to the product teasers that Google shared earlier this year. Google has not yet come out on one product, and that is the foldable Pixel phone. Rumors have been around for a long time, and now a new rumor is added.
Is that foldable Pixel coming now?
Version 8.6 of Google Camera is available to all Pixel owners and that version offers according to 9to5Google more than just a few bug fixes. The app contains a reference to another new feature codenamed ‘Jupiter’. What is especially intriguing is the icon that can be seen with the function. That icon is quite simple, but the fold in the middle with the arrow clearly indicates a foldable device.
Possibly ‘Jupiter’ is similar to the Cover screen example: onfunction of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. With this function you can see what you are shooting with the main camera on the cover display. You can use the volume keys as a shutter button to take a selfie with the main camera.
Unfortunately, the current code of the Google Camera app contains no further details about Jupiter and the capabilities of the mode. The only detail found so far is the hiding of the button. Switch camera once Jupiter is activated on a foldable.
Either way, it’s very possible that the launch of a foldable Google Pixel phone is getting closer and closer. Google is already preparing new camera features and techniques. However, there are unfortunately also rumors that the foldable Pixel phone will not come.
New ‘Hotshot’ feature
In addition to signs of the Pixel Notepad’s existence, version 8.6 of the Google Camera app also includes hints of a new “Hotshot” feature that “uses visual, audio and haptic feedback to provide selfie guidance.” The accompanying image below shows a person sitting perfectly in the middle of a phone, but it’s not exactly clear what the feature will look like once it’s available. The feature may work with different types of feedback indicating that the shot you’ve taken should look great and be ready to be captured.
