Pixel 10 Pro Fold review: Google's bet to make foldables sturdy | TechCrunch
"Because of the new hinge, there is very little gap when the phone is folded. This ensures that fewer dust particles and other debris can get inside and potentially damage the screen. While I didn't get the phone in any sand, I kept it in my bag and my pocket multiple times to see if lint from either place had any effect. However, the phone continued functioning as usual."
"The Pixel 10 Pro Fold won't look very different if you place it next to last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Besides Google's AI chops, there is not much of an overhaul at first glance. However, this is the first foldable to receive an IP68 rating, and that counts for something. Ever since companies started launching foldables, durability has been the prime concern for users."
"Apart from the sturdiness upgrade, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold gained a new Tensor G5 processor. While it's fine for most day-to-day tasks, as my experience suggests, there is some discussion about how it doesn't perform as well as some other processors in benchmark tests. Other hardware changes in the 10 Pro Fold involve a bigger battery than last year, which is a welcome change."
Pixel 10 Pro Fold closely resembles the Pixel 9 Pro Fold but introduces several durability and hardware updates. The device is the first foldable with an IP68 rating, improving resistance to dust and water. A new gearless hinge adds resistance and minimizes the gap when folded, reducing debris ingress. Carrying the phone in a bag or pocket did not cause lint-related issues. The phone includes a new Tensor G5 processor suitable for everyday tasks though benchmark performance trails some competitors. Other changes include a larger battery and a brighter outdoor-readable screen, while interior display bezels remain notably thick.
