TL;DR
- The newest model of the Google Pixel Buds app is hiding the codename “Comet.”
- It’s potential this might be the codename for the Pixel Fold 2.
- It might additionally probably be the codename for a Pixel Flip.
Google’s Pixel Fold is only some months previous at this level. However a newly found codename hints that the corporate could already be engaged on one other foldable that might be a successor or perhaps a flip-style telephone.
The newest model of the Google Pixel Buds app has simply rolled out. This new app model seems to be hiding the codename “Comet” inside its code, in response to 9to5Google.
After an APK teardown, the outlet says that it discovered the Comet codename together with the codenames for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Professional (Shiba and Husky). Though Comet was amongst these codenames, it’s unlikely Comet refers back to the Pixel 8a. We already know the Pixel 8a is codenamed “Akita” and Comet doesn’t actually match into the canine breed theme of the Pixel 8 collection.
On the identical time, it’s unlikely Comet refers back to the Pixel 9. It’s believed that Google will use reptile-related codenames for that technology.
If we take a look at the Pixel Fold, it initially had the codename “Passport.” This preliminary codename could have had one thing to do with how Google needed the Pixel Fold to really feel like a passport. Nevertheless, that codename ultimately modified to “Felix” — a cat breed — to match with the Pixel 7 collection (“Cheetah” and “Panther”) since all of them run on Tensor G2.
Nevertheless, the publication factors out that an Android developer found the codename lumped in with the Pixel Fold. It’s even reportedly dubbed a “fold” by the app.
With out extra info, it seems that Comet might be a Pixel Fold 2. However there’s a chance that Comet might discuss with a brand new machine on the horizon. May Google be engaged on a Pixel Flip? We doubtless received’t get that reply for some time.
