Meanwhile, another news site, Android Police, says, 'Google I/O needs to reduce the hype about AI and focus on more realistic improvements.'

・Pixel
Google's first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Fold, was officially announced at Google I/O 2023, after various information about it was leaked before the event. Similarly, there have been leaks of development images, which have led to speculation that the Pixel Fold 2 may be announced in 2024.
