If you want proof that foldable phone cameras have come a long way, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
For years, design and space constraints on foldables led to scaled-back cameras, resulting in subpar photos. But the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold have surpassed those hardware limitations. Each phone boasts impressive cameras that are on par with what you'll find on more traditional slab phones, which is an impressive feat.
So, how do photos on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold compare? I took each camera for a spin to see how the phones stack up.

First, though, some camera specs. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a 200-megapixel wide-angle (just like the S25 Ultra), a 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera on the back. It also has 10-megapixel selfie cameras on the cover and main displays.
Those specs are especially impressive considering the Z Fold 7 is wildly thin for a foldable, measuring just 4.2mm thick when open and 8.9mm thick when closed. That innovation is reflected in the whopping $2,000 price tag.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a 48-megapixel wide-angle, 10.5-megapixel ultrawide and a 10.8-megapixel telephoto camera on the back. Additionally, both the cover and inside displays have 10-megapixel selfie cameras.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold didn't slim down as much as the Z Fold 7, but it still doesn't feel obtrusively bulky. It's 5.2mm thick when open and 10.8mm thick when closed. The 10 Pro Fold costs $1,799. It also packs some impressive new AI photography features like Camera Coach, which uses Gemini to help you take better photos.
Camera bumps aren't factored into either phone's measurements, so expect a little extra bulk there — but thankfully, nothing too obtrusive.
