After years of rumours, Google has finally launched its first foldable phone – The Pixel Fold – at Google I/O 2023. The phone goes head-to-head with Samsung’s flagship foldable phone – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Google commemorated the launch by releasing an immersive crime ebook. The tech giant partnered with Ajay Chowdhury, who is the best-selling author, for the ebook titled The Invitation. The ebook is “immersive” because it will make users of the phone solve clues and break codes. It also features eerie email pop-ups.

“The commute has become a precious space post-pandemic – with many using their time to consume their favourite multi-media content. With the huge immersive display when opened, the Pixel Fold makes watching and reading even more pleasurable.”

– Andrea Zvinakis, Android product manager.

Google’s book-style folding phone features a regular smartphone-like screen but tablet-like features. With an impressive notebook-like design, the foldable phone is indeed an ideal pick for those who are looking to buy tablets for ebook reading.
