Pixel 10 Pro Fold Official at $1,799 and Ships October 9

Google’s big hardware day once again includes 4 phones you’ll be able to buy, one of which is a foldable that is both expensive and improved. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the follow-up to last year’s excellent Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and Google even found some ways to make us wonder if we need one in our lives.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold price, release date: First things first – the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is up for pre-order right now, on August 20. Pricing starts at $1,799 for 256GB storage or you can pay a bit more to double the storage to 512GB. As far as release dates go, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is not launching right away. While you can pre-order, the device won’t arrive until October 9. The regular Pixel 10 phone line-up is all launching on August 28.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold upgrades and changes: This may not be the craziest change of all, but Google has certified the Pixel 10 Pro Fold as IP68 water and dust resistance. This might be a first in foldables and is something Samsung could not find a way to do with its recently-launched Galaxy Z Fold 7. This is a big jump in terms of durability and where you might be able to find comfort in using a device that folds in half. Google also says that the hinge is now 2x more durable than last year’s 9 Pro Fold and has improved drop protection. They believe it can handle 10 years of folding before it breaks.

Powering everything is the new Google Tensor G5 chip, the same one that’s inside the other Pixel 10 phones. This chip brings a 34% CPU speed increase, 60% TPU increase, and is built on 3nm process. TSMC has made this chip, unlike previous Tensor chips that were from Samsung. This chip will unlock a new Gemini Nano model, is 2x more efficient with AI, and is 2.6x faster with Gemini Nano than previous Tensor chips.

Under the hood, you also have a 5015mAh battery with 30W wired charging and Qi2 wireless charging (Pixelsnap and magnets built-in), 16GB RAM, 256GB or 512GB storage, displays that can both hit 3000 nits of peak brightness, a rear camera system with a new 48MP wide/main sensor, and an insane new suite of AI features built throughout the OS, like Magic Cue, Daily Hub, Take a Message, Pixel Journal, and more.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold brings meaningful improvements inside and out even if the device is going to look a lot like last year’s model.

  • The P10PF will likely have much better battery life than the GZF7, and be much more durable as well. It's a trade-off for the overall performance and thickness/weight hit but I think I'm willing to make it. I just wish I could actually pick one up and feel it before I order. Google incentives are pretty good too (Getting $550 in trade plus another $530 in credit for a P9P phone I paid $899 for last year). The GZF7 is sexy as hell though, I hope the Pixel is at least close…

  • Not a comment on the phone itself, but I just think that $1800 for a phone is insane. I think I'm probably in the minority.

  • P10P Fold at 258 grams/10.8mm will be a tough sell against Samsung Fold 7 at 215 grams/8.9mm

    • I think it comes down to a little bit more than weight and width. I have the fold 7 and P9PF and I prefer the feel of the Pixel. That's just me, can't speak for anyone else. I've seen many comments where people have said, give me a thicker phone so I can have a bigger battery.
