A few days before Samsung’s Galaxy S20 announcement event, Google also started teasing the Unpacked event, suggesting that it’ll show up on stage to announce some sort of new partnership. It had to be all connected to the Galaxy Z Flip, a new foldable Samsung was supposed to launch. Then came the Oscars, where Samsung actually showed off the unannounced clamshell device, complete with its new video chat in laptop mode feature. That was another indication that Google would help Android behave that way. It turns out that Google did show up at Unpacked. Google’s senior vice president of platforms and ecosystem Hiroshi Lockheimer talked about the strong Samsung-Google partnership over the years and announced the various features the S20 series will get, including the built-in Google Duo video chat, and the exciting Live Caption video caption functionality that was a Pixel exclusive so far. More importantly, Google also helped with the Z Flip’s split-screen mode feature that makes the whole laptop mode possible. So, is Google making a Pixel that folds?
