Google reportedly has a price in mind for its rumored 'Pixel Notepad'

Google is looking to launch a cheaper foldable phone.

What you need to know

Google reportedly wants its first foldable to be much more affordable than the Galaxy Z Fold 3.
A new report suggests the target price for the Pixel Notepad is $1400.
Google could release the device by the end of the year.

While we don't expect to see Google's rumored Pixel foldable for a while, there have been rumors that it will be much more affordable than Samsung's best foldable phone when it launches. Now, we may have an idea of just how much it will cost if and when it launches.

9to5Google reports that Google is reportedly targeting a price that will undercut the Galaxy Z Fold 3 by several hundred dollars. At the present time, it's being said that Google is looking at a $1400 price tag for its "Pixel Notepad."

While that could change as time goes on, it might explain why the rumored device is taking longer than expected to come to market. It was reported at one point that work on the Pixel foldable was being put on hold while Google reworked the design. Part of that could be that Google is trying to bring the cost down as much as possible to make it compete better with Samsung.

Previous rumors have indicated that the Pixel foldable would be equipped with older camera modules from Google's previous Pixel smartphones, which could be one area where the company is cutting costs. Beyond that, it's unclear what other compromises Google is making to reach its reported target price.

That said, the Pixel foldable may not skimp on other specs. Google's Tensor chipset will reportedly power it, and previous rumors have pointed to a Samsung-made 120Hz OLED for the internal display.

9to5Google seems to expect the "Pixel Notepad" foldable to launch internationally by the end of 2022, although we once heard we would get it by the end of 2021, so take it with a grain of salt for now. Of course, by that time, Samsung will have launched the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which could see a lower launch price amid Samsung's crusade to bring down the price and make foldables more mainstream.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
