The Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a big edge over the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with one catch

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold offers the highest level of water and dust protection on a phone. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers very limited protection from dust and water ingress. That said, based solely on fold ratings, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may survive longer than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google has launched the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and it’s shaping up to be quite an attractive foldable, at least from what we’ve seen so far. The one thing it lacks, though, is an ultra-thin body that can riva

TL;DR Google has revealed that the Pixel 10 Pro phones can shoot high-resolution, 50MP portrait mode images. This is a welcome addition if you’d like to crop after the fact or print an image.

Google's New Pixel Buds 2A Look a Lot Like the Pro 2, but Cost Way Less

Samsung recently unveiled its "fan-edition" Galaxy Buds 3 FE earbuds ($150), a more affordable version of its flagship Galaxy Buds Pro 3 earbuds that leave off a few features. You can think about Google's Pixel Buds 2A ($130) in much the same way. Essentially a slightly stripped-down version of Google's highly rated flagship Pixel Buds Pro 2 ($229), they look very similar but don't offer quite the same performance or feature set for a more affordable price.

I held the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and these are the 4 things that impressed me about it

I won’t deny that the first leaks of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s renders and dimensions left a sour taste in my mouth. I was expecting Google to repeat what it did with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold — one of my favorite foldables from last year — and release a slimmer, more powerful workhorse. If Samsung had finally woken up and understood that lighter weight and single-handed comfort and usability were paramount for foldables, it only made sense that Google would answer back with a better proposition. Alas,

I’ve used the three Pixel 10 slab phones, and I’ll say this: Don’t judge a book by its cover

It’s hard to believe we are on the tenth generation of Pixel phones. Not only is it hard to believe because the OG Pixel launched nine years ago (seriously; I’m so old), but also because it’s so rare for Google to actually stick with any kind of product for that long. Regardless, here we are with the Google Pixel 10 series — and it might just be the company’s most important launch ever. I had the opportunity to go hands-on with all the devices launched at the 2025 Made by Google event, but here

5 reasons I’d get the Pixel 10 Pro Fold over the Galaxy Fold 7

Now that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is here, the game changes again — but which is the better buy when it comes to Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold 7? Good question. Honestly, it’s a closer call this time, largely because the Fold 7 still gets so much right. Even so, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is a strong step
