Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: We tried both, and here's who wins

"The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold officially went on sale this fall, and it was welcomed with stiff competition from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. While Google doesn't bring a flashy redesign like Samsung this year, it rivals the Galaxy with quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are subtle but industry-firsts for the foldable market. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so."

"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."

"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 completely dustproof, per se, but you can get extra peace of mind when using it in those environments. 2. You are switching from an iPhone If you can't wait for a foldable iPhone and want to switch to a book-style foldable this year, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the phone we recommend buying. While switching to a Samsung foldable is equally as easy or tedious, you'll be able to retain your iPhone's MagSafe-compatible accessories if you buy the Google foldable."

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold introduces IP68 dust resistance as the first book-style foldable with protection against minute dust particles, improving durability in dust-prone environments. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 carries an IP48 rating, which protects only against solids larger than 1 millimeter and may allow finer dust ingress. The Pixel retains MagSafe compatibility, enabling users switching from iPhone to keep existing accessories. Samsung provides a flashier redesign while Google prioritizes practical quality-of-life refinements and durability. Buyers who work in dusty conditions or value accessory continuity will find the Pixel 10 Pro Fold especially compelling.
