Chrome OS 91 is coming and a foldable Pixel is coming
This week on The Chrome Cast, we’re kicking off the show by covering all the new features available in Chrome and Chrome OS 91. Between updates to the V8 JavaScript engine – dubbed Sparkplug – and the arrival of Nearby Share, version 91 of Chrome OS is a nice incremental update that should improve performance across the board and provide a useful new way to share files across Google’s growing range of Android and Chrome OS hardware.
For the second half of the show, our focus is on reporting surrounding the upcoming – and mysterious – Pixel Fold. As it turns out, Samsung is now supplying Google with not only foldable OLED displays, but also the ultra-thin glass that it uses in the manufacture of devices like the Galaxy Flip and Galaxy Fold phones. There are no additional details at this time on what Google is planning or when we might see a foldable Pixel, but this news is certainly a great talking point.
