Following Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold from Google is gearing up to be the next contender in the ultra premium foldable segment. It will be announced alongside the flagship Pixel 10 series and is expected to bring various upgrades and refinements over its predecessor. So here’s a detailed breakdown of everything we know so far.
1. Google Pixel 10 Pro: Design & Display
In terms of design, Google isn’t bringing a major facelift, so its body appears similar to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Although, one of the earlier reports did suggest that the brand would make its next-gen foldable slimmer and more durable this year. The hinge mechanism is reportedly getting thinner, with perhaps the biggest upgrade being an IP68 rating. This is a big deal for foldable since the Pixel 10 Pro Fold would be the first of its kind to offer the high Ingress protection. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers an IP48 rating.
The cover screen is getting slightly larger, measuring 6.4 inches, while the primary panel retains its 8-inch size. While finer details for these displays are still at large, the peak brightness is getting a bump from 2700 nits to 3000 nits. But both screens likely offer a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR support.
2. Performance
Similar to the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup, the Search Engine giant’s premium foldable is also getting the latest Tensor G5 SoC. This is a 3nm chipset that is based on TSMC’s advanced N3E process, which marks a shift away from Samsung Foundry. Overall, this chip is faster and more power efficient than the Tensor G4, while also offering improved AI performance that allows for on-device machine learning.
A GeekBench listing also showed this chip alongside 16GB of RAM and Android 16. Even the battery size is getting bigger with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold rumored to house a 5,015mAh cell. To recall, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold housed a 4,650mAh battery pack.
3. Camera
For photography, Google’s flagship foldable may offer a 50MP (main) + 12mp (telephoto, 5x optical zoom) + 12MP (ultra wide) on the rear, while the front could be a 10MP shooter on both screens. Notably, this is the same large Samsung GN8 sensor on the primary camera, while the ultra wide and telephoto are identical to the base Pixel 10.
4. Pricing, Color, & Launch Date
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will debut alongside the rest of the Pixel 10 next month, possibly on August 20. It may arrive in two color options, namely Moonstone and Jade. There are rumors of three storage configurations that could include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB variants. The 256GB version may cost €1,899, while the 512GB and 1TB options carry €2,029 and €2,289 price tags, respectively.
