Critics' Take
Critics call the Pixel 10 Pro Fold the most durable foldable yet, thanks to the first IP68 rating on a book-style fold, plus bright screens, Pixelsnap magnets and polished software. Most reviewers say it changes little from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and trails the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in thinness, weight and speed. At $1,799 the verdicts range from solid to hard to recommend, with Engadget, Wired and Gizmodo pointing to Samsung as the better buy.
What critics loved
- First foldable with an IP68 dust and water rating
- Bright inner and outer displays
- Polished Pixel software and AI features
- Pixelsnap magnets and Qi2 wireless charging
Common gripes
- Thick and heavy at 258 g next to the Galaxy Z Fold 7
- Tensor G5 trails Snapdragon rivals in speed and gaming
- Very few changes from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold
- Cameras seen as average by several reviewers
- Expensive at $1,799 for 256GB

“While I'm impressed with the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold's overall offering, as its nips and tucks bring marginal gains over its predecessor, the key folding phone competitors have really put their foot on the gas during this past year.”
