"When the first foldable phones came along, they seemed like a cool evolution of the traditional smartphone form factor and, if they got smaller and cheaper, like something people might actually want. After more than five years of foldable phones, we can probably give up on the latter. Google's new Pixel 10 Pro Fold retains the $1,800 price tag of last year's model, and while it's improved in several key ways, spending almost two grand on any phone remains hard to justify."
"For those whose phones are a primary computing device or who simply love gadgets, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still appealing. It offers the same refined Android experience as the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup, with much more screen real estate on which to enjoy it. Google also improved the hinge for better durability, shaved off some bezel, and boosted both charging speed and battery capacity. However, the form factor hasn't taken the same quantum leap as Samsung's latest foldable."
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold retains a $1,800 price while offering moderate hardware and design updates. The hinge uses a new "gearless" mechanism aimed at doubling durability and lasting over ten years of folding. Google reduced bezel size, increased battery capacity, and improved charging speeds. The device provides the same refined Android experience as other Pixel 10 models with expanded internal screen real estate. Camera options include wide, ultrawide, and 5x telephoto lenses and high-resolution selfie sensors across the Pixel 10 family. The foldable form factor remains evolutionary rather than revolutionary, making the phone compelling mainly for power users and gadget enthusiasts.
