GoKawiilIt’s fair to think that foldables haven’t gone mainstream despite being around for close to a decade now. However, the foldable market is only warming up and is poised for its own big moment. As new players continue to join incumbents like Samsung and Google (even Apple is rumored to launch its own foldable this year), Motorola has finally launched its first book-style foldable after being exclusively married to the flip form factor for years.
The Motorola Razr Fold may be the last to the party, but it’s got so much going for itself that it can give the Pixel 10 Pro Fold a serious run for its money.

It’s the weakest Pixel

Among the entire Pixel 10 lineup, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is perhaps the only model you should steer clear of, especially given its asking price of close to $2,000. Sure, Google has refined its hardware over a couple of generations and introduced some interesting industry-first features, like an IP68 rating, while also better adapting the Pixel software to the big foldable screen. But it doesn’t come without compromises — and there are a lot of them.
For starters, it uses the same Tensor G5 processor as the other Pixel 10 phones. It’s acceptable if you’re spending under $800, but for a phone that’s close to a couple of grand, it’s a big compromise I wouldn’t want to make. Moreover, compared to its direct competitor, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Pixel feels unnecessarily weighty and thick, as if you’re not quite getting your money’s worth in terms of premiumness.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is less of a foldable and more of two compromised mid-rangers soldered together from the middle.
Its weaknesses don’t end here. Pixel phones are renowned for their camera capabilities, and you’d expect the most premium model to offer the best of the best. Sadly, that’s not true. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s camera setup is mediocre at best and leaves a bad taste after some use — especially compared to other Pixel handsets. It’s less of a foldable and more of two compromised mid-rangers soldered together from the middle.
