Pixel 10 Pro Fold hands-on: Forget thinness, Google is going hard on durability

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-11 23:00:18

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold was a revelation. Not only did Google switch to a simpler design while adding a larger main display, the company caught up to Samsung's long-running foldable line in just two generations. However, for its third go — the Pixel 10 Pro Fold — Google is opting for a different strategy than we’ve seen recently on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Instead of focusing on thinness, Google may have just created the most rugged foldable on the market. That’s due in large part to the phone’s new I

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers improved dust resistance and Qi2 wireless charging

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-11 23:00:52

Google just announced the Pixel 10 Pro Fold smartphone at the Made by Google event. This latest foldable offers some novel features, especially when compared to rival handsets like the recently-released Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. This is pretty significant for dust, as the Z Fold 7 has just an IP48 rating. IP68 is a good rating and essentially means that the unit will be completely dustproof and can withstand being submerged in wa

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: How the newest foldable phones stack up

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-11 23:50:18

Last month, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was released and immediately became the de facto king of the foldable phone hill. But today a new challenger has arrived: The Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Initial details are now available, and Google is having a splashy launch event to introduce it (and the full new Pixel 10 line) to the world. These two smartphones are vying for the title of best foldable — both with very similar designs, but each bringing something unique to the table. Samsung launched its first

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: I compared both flagships, and here's who wins

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-11-11 23:00:48

Joseph Maldonado and Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is here, and it isn't taking on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a generational design leap. Instead, it competes by adding quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are industry-firsts for a foldable phone. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so. However, it can be confusing to make a decision when both Google and Samsung book-style foldables are so good this year. Also: Ever

Smartphones are durable, powerful devices we carry everywhere. They get slightly better every year, too. Whether that's through improved glass technology that's more shatter- and scratch-proof, or screen size adjustments to ensure the best experience in your hand.
