The next Pixel Fold will be named Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Kamila Wojciechowska

According to a source from Android Authority, the 2024 lineup of Pixels will be as followed:
- Pixel 9 – codename “tokay”
- Pixel 9 Pro – codename “caiman”
- Pixel 9 Pro XL – codename “komodo”
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold – codename “comet”

This matches the lineup that was leaked in late 2022 and the names are confirmed in some of the software.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold name is not final, but it has been changed to that recently.

It seems like Google wants to integrate the folding device into the flagship model naming instead of making separate line as the original Fold was treated as a niche and overpriced device.

The potential name may hint that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will debut with other Pixel 9 devices in October instead of Google I/O in May.

Android is finally preparing to support NFC wireless charging!

NFC charging is slower than Qi charging, but it needs much less space. USI 2.0 styluses already support NFC charging, and hopefully future tracker tags do too!

More details can be found in this article I wrote for Android Authority.

Google had a multi-year plan to migrate the AOSP build system completely over to Bazel, but this project was cancelled late last year.

In a statement to OEMs last year, Google said "in a recent review of our progress, we concluded that the conversion to Bazel would take a lot more time than originally anticipated. After carefully considering our options, we decided to stop working on transitioning Android’s build system to Bazel, and instead focus on improving the existing system."

At one point, I'm told, Google even aimed to migrate all Make and Soong build files to bazel by Android 16 W. But that obviously won't happen anymore.
