Overview

• Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold debuts at $1,799 with IP68 ingress protection, a new gearless hinge claimed to be twice as durable as its predecessor, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and a 5,015mAh battery.
• Samsung’s $1,999 Galaxy Z Fold7 emphasizes an ultra‑thin 8.9mm folded profile and 215g weight with Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, a 4,400mAh battery, and IP48 protection.
• Displays are broadly similar at 8 inches inside, with Pixel offering a 6.4‑inch cover and up to 3,000‑nit peak brightness versus Samsung’s 6.5‑inch cover and 2,600‑nit peak brightness.
• Camera approaches diverge, with Samsung fielding a 200MP main sensor and Google a 48MP main plus a 5x optical telephoto, and reviewers say image‑quality verdicts require further testing.
• Both lean on AI—Samsung with Galaxy AI features like Now Brief, Now Bar, and Gemini Live, and Google with tools such as Camera Coach, Pixel Studio, Add Me, Reimagine, and Magic Eraser—while early stress testing notes the Fold7 failed to last 24 hours under heavy use, underscoring the battery trade-off.
