Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold brings full IP68 water and dust resistance to a foldable phone, protecting against fine particles and enabling beach use. The phone uses a new gear-less hinge designed for better drop protection while maintaining manageable folding stiffness and a crease similar to previous models. The outer display is 6.4 inches with slimmer bezels, the inner 8-inch panel reaches 3,000 nits peak brightness, and the front panel narrows by about a millimeter when folded. The device includes Tensor G5 and Qi2 support, enabling on-device AI features like voice-mimicking call translation and proactive Magic Cue suggestions.
Very small particles are a particular concern for foldables. A piece of sand or dirt that works its way under the sensitive inner screen can cause it to fail. Folding phones have some protections against particles, like brushes in the hinges to keep dust out, but none had been considered fully dust-tight - until now. Samsung's IP48-rated Folds and Flips only guarantee protection against objects greater than a millimeter in size, which is bigger than a speck of dust (not to mention many sand grains).
Dust resistance isn't the only hardware change on the 10 Pro Fold. When folded, the front panel is about a millimeter narrower, making the whole device a tiny bit less wide than the last version. With slimmer bezels, the outer screen measures 6.4 inches compared to 6.3 inches on the 9 Pro Fold, and the 8-inch inner display gets a little brighter in peak brightness mode this time around: 3,000 nits compared to 2,700.
