Overview

  • The Pixel 10 Pro Fold launches at $1,799 versus the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at $1,999, setting up a $200 gap in entry price.
  • The phones use different flagship chips, with Google’s Tensor G5 in the Pixel and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Samsung, and reviewers report Samsung holds the performance edge.
  • Samsung’s device is markedly slimmer and lighter at 8.9mm folded and 215g, compared with the Pixel’s 10.8mm and 258g, emphasizing portability.
  • Google lists a 5,015mAh battery and an IP68 rating with a new gearless hinge claimed to be twice as durable as its predecessor, while Samsung pairs a 4,400mAh pack with IP48 and an Armor Aluminum frame; Mashable’s stress test found the Fold 7 did not reach 24 hours.
  • Both offer ~8‑inch 120Hz inner displays and robust AI suites, with the Pixel claiming up to 3,000‑nit peak brightness and stronger optical zoom (5x) against Samsung’s 200MP main sensor and 2,600‑nit peak, leaving real‑world camera outcomes to further testing.
