Overview

• The company detailed a gearless hinge that uses CAMs to convert rotational to linear motion, preserving symmetrical movement while saving internal space.
• The redesign supports an 8-inch inner display and a 6.4-inch outer display with slimmer bezels compared with the previous generation.
• Google states the device is the first foldable with magnetic Qi2 charging and the first to achieve an IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
• Internal rearchitecture enabled a larger battery, with 9to5Google reporting 5,015 mAh (up from 4,650 mAh), and Google claiming over 30 hours of use.
• Independent reporting notes the hinge protrudes less, the phone is 0.8 mm narrower when folded, and the polished aluminum hardware and diamond-cut edges reinforce a premium feel.
