At a glance, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold looks very similar to the previous model, with only some new color options distinguishing it. The device now comes in Moonstone or Jade colors, giving it a fresh look. The phone has an aluminium frame, a glass back, and is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance.
One notable feature of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the inclusion of Pixelsnap technology, allowing users to use the phone with various compatible accessories without the need for a case. The device also features a larger battery and brighter screens, enhancing the overall user experience.
In terms of design and build, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is slightly thicker and heavier than its predecessor due to the addition of magnets and a larger battery. The device feels sturdy and well-built, with an improved hinge and a premium finish.
When it comes to the screen and speakers, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers a 6.4-inch outer display and an 8-inch inner folding display, both with OLED technology and 120Hz refresh rates. The stereo speakers provide loud and detailed sound, although the positioning may be a bit problematic.
The device is powered by the new Google Tensor G5 chip, coupled with 16GB of RAM and various storage options. While the performance is improved compared to the previous model, there is still a noticeable gap between the Tensor chip and competitors like Qualcomm and MediaTek.
In terms of cameras, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold retains the same camera setup as its predecessor, with a 48MP main camera, a 10.8MP telephoto lens, a 10.5MP ultrawide lens, and dual 10MP selfie cameras. The camera performance is decent, particularly in well-lit conditions, but could use an upgrade compared to other flagship devices.
The device offers solid battery life with a 5015mAh battery and supports 30W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. The software experience is a key selling point, with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold running Android 16 and offering various AI features and 7 years of software support.
Pricing for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold starts at $1799 for the base model, positioning it in the high-end foldable phone segment. While the device has its strengths, such as durability and unique features, it may struggle to compete with more advanced foldable devices in the market.
