Google’s next-gen foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, is shaping up to be both slimmer and more durable. A fresh leak has revealed an upgrade in terms of its water and dust resistance over its predecessor, along with a sleeker new design. So here’s what we know.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Slimmer & Tougher?
The news arrives from an AndroidHeadlines report, which claims that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is getting a thinner hinge mechanism this year. This would help slim down the phone as well to better compete with competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7. So the overall feel of the upcoming foldable device is likely getting easier to hold. But one of the biggest upgrades is the new IP68 rating.
If this report is true, then the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the first foldable phone with such a rating. A typical foldable phone forgoes dust proofing but features water resistance like an IPX8 rating. Samsung’s new flagship foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is also bringing an IP48 rating for upgraded resistance to the elements. This makes the Google foldable one of the toughest of its kind. For those unaware, the “6” in IP68 means a dust tight body, while the “8” refers to the ability to withstand water submersion up to one meter for 30 minutes.
Google is expected to make its global debut on August 20. A recent set of leaked renders showcases a design that resembles the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Meanwhile, a massive rumor revealed that the cameras of the entire Pixel 10 lineup hints that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is retaining the exact same camera setup with minor changes to the primary shooter. So the 12MP Samsung 3J1 telephoto shooter and 12MP Samsung 3J1 ultra wide angle lens are paired with a 50MP Sony GN8 sensor.
