Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Here's the clear winner after testing both

"The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has finally arrived, and it isn't taking on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a generational design leap. Instead, it competes by adding quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are industry-firsts for a foldable phone. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so. However, it can be confusing to make a decision when both Google and Samsung book-style foldables are so good this year."

"The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the first book-style foldable to sport an IP68 rating, which means it is truly resistant against minute dust particles. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rated IP48 for dust and water resistance, so it is protected against solid particles bigger than 1 millimeter. Since dust particles are smaller than 1mm, there's no guarantee that a Z Fold 7 will do well against dust."

"Since dust particles are smaller than 1mm, there's no guarantee that a Z Fold 7 will do well against dust. Also: Google just settled the foldable phone debate with one number -- and I hope Samsung is watching If you live in a place susceptible to dust or work in a dusty environment, the Google foldable will serve you better. It isn't dustproof, per se, but you can get extra peace of mind when using it in those environments."

Google released the Pixel 10 Pro Fold with quality-of-life improvements and a few industry-first features for foldable phones. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold targets upgrades from slab phones and competes directly with Samsung's book-style foldables. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the first book-style foldable to carry an IP68 rating, delivering stronger protection against minute dust particles than the Galaxy Z Fold 7's IP48 rating. The higher dust resistance makes the Pixel better suited for dusty environments. The Pixel also facilitates switching from iPhone devices by allowing retention of MagSafe-compatible accessories. Buyer choice depends on priorities like dust resistance and accessory compatibility.
