Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold is shaping up to be a compelling rival in the foldable phone market, with new leaks revealing several meaningful upgrades—especially in battery life and display—over both its predecessor and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Larger Cover Display, Brighter Panel
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to feature a slightly larger cover display, increasing from 6.3 inches to 6.4 inches. This change is reportedly achieved by reducing bezel and hinge size, resulting in a more immersive and modern look. The outer screen will also be significantly brighter, with peak brightness jumping to 3,000 nits, a 10% increase over the previous generation, making it easier to use outdoors.
Bigger Battery and Faster Charging
One of the most notable upgrades is the battery: the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will reportedly pack a 5,015mAh battery, a 7% increase from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 4,650mAh cell. This is a clear advantage over the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is limited to a 4,400mAh battery. Charging speeds are also getting a boost, with wired charging rising from 21W to 23W, and wireless charging jumping from 8W to 15W with Qi2 support.
Powerful Internals
Under the hood, the foldable will debut Google’s new Tensor G5 chipset, paired with 16GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. Performance benchmarks show the Tensor G5 outpacing the previous generation’s G4 chip, promising a smoother experience and better multitasking.
Familiar Cameras, Improved Durability
Camera hardware is expected to remain largely unchanged, with a triple rear setup (50MP main, 32MP ultrawide, 32MP telephoto) and dual 10MP front cameras. However, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is rumored to achieve an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, a first for any foldable device and a significant leap in durability.
Launch Timeline
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to launch alongside the Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025. Pricing is rumored to remain similar to previous models, with color options including Jade and Moonstone.
