The Pixel 10 Pro Fold focuses on practical improvements rather than a major redesign, introducing industry-first quality-of-life features for foldables. The device achieves an IP68 rating, offering superior resistance to fine dust compared with the Galaxy Z Fold 7's IP48 rating, which only guards against larger particles. The Pixel enables easier transition for iPhone users by retaining MagSafe-compatible accessories. Both Google and Samsung offer strong book-style foldables this year, making the buying decision nuanced; Pixel stands out for those in dust-prone environments or seeking compatibility with existing iPhone accessories.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is here, 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.
