Leaks for the Pixel Fold 2 suggest Google is heading in a new direction

Amid another round of rumours that Apple is working on a foldable iPhone, newly leaked images suggest that Google is already miles ahead of the game with a second-generation Google Pixel Fold in the works. Samsung has set the standard of foldable smartphones pretty high, and this glimpse at a potential Google Pixel Fold 2 is looking less on-brand for Google and more like a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 if you ask me. 

The leaked image, courtesy of Android Authority, was provided by an anonymous source and only shows the back of the assumed device. It's a little dark, but we still get a vague idea of the newly designed camera module which could either be a quad-cam setup or a rework of the previous triple-lens unit.
