The hardware is said to use a distinctive design compared to the under-display sensor found on Samsung's Galaxy Fold 4. Instead of hiding the lens or requiring punch hole cut outs on the display, the UMH camera will be positioned along the frame or bezel of the device. More importantly, the quality of the image is mentioned to be better than on the present under-display cameras.

In addition to the game-changing camera, the Pixel Fold is expected to take advantage of the Tensor 2 chipset similar to the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The foldable could also come with the same ISOCELL GN1 50MP sensor based on a separate report by Kuba Wojciechowski. Oher purported specs of the Google Pixel Fold include a bigger cover display at front and a wider and shorter profile compared to Samsung's foldable.

I think this might be one of the first smartphones to make use of the new, ultrafast autofocus lens, TLens. All In Focus, ReFocus, bokeh (as seen from Wooptix SW).
It is my guess also that it is TLens from poLight. OnePlus might be the next phonemaker to implement it, but they just call it Bionic Lens instead.
