I won’t deny that the first leaks of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s renders and dimensions left a sour taste in my mouth. I was expecting Google to repeat what it did with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold — one of my favorite foldables from last year — and release a slimmer, more powerful workhorse. If Samsung had finally woken up and understood that lighter weight and single-handed comfort and usability were paramount for foldables, it only made sense that Google would answer back with a better proposition. Alas, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is none of that, but even so, it’s a very impressive upgrade from Google.
Don’t let the similar dimensions and minimal external changes fool you like they initially fooled me, though; there are several big changes under the hood that make this phone a bit more attractive, a bit more useful, a lot more durable, and generally, just overall better than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Is it enough to make you ditch your foldable and buy the new one? I have a few arguments from my hands-on time with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to help you make up your mind.
