Overview

• The Pixel 10 Pro Fold began shipping on October 9 and is on sale in India at Rs 172,999, featuring Google’s Tensor G5, an 8-inch inner display, a gearless hinge, and an IP68 water‑and‑dust rating.
• Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days cut the Galaxy Z Fold 7 by about $400 across 256GB and 512GB models, and dropped the Galaxy Z Flip 7 to around $849, with the 512GB Flip 7 at about $919.
• Samsung confirmed US offers that do not require a trade‑in: $350 off the Z Fold 7 plus a free bump to 512GB at the 256GB price (about $470 total value), and $250 off the Z Flip 7 with the same storage parity.
• AI bundles now factor into value: Samsung’s Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 include six months of Google AI Pro, while Google’s Pixel 10 Pro series comes with a year of Gemini AI Pro.
• Head‑to‑head testing highlights distinct strengths: Samsung’s Fold 7 is thinner, lighter, and shows a smaller crease with a 200MP main camera, while Google’s foldable adds 5x optical telephoto, IP68 protection, and Pixelsnap/Qi2 magnet compatibility; current deals narrow the US price gap to roughly $200.
