The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold appeared as an attempt to refine what was perceived as "raw" in last year's model. The main focus was on comfort in unfolded mode and screen durability: brightness increased by about 22%, making the panel behave more steadily under direct sunlight. Body thickness decreased by 0.8 mm, weight dropped by 14 grams, making the device feel less bulky. The battery lasts longer—on average 11–13% more than the previous cycle Pixel Fold. The camera improved detail—about 18% thanks to more aggressive processing of small elements. The model targets users who like a large working screen: students, video watchers, and those who need to edit photos without constant pinching and scrolling.
Design and Feel
The body is made of smooth aluminum with matte glass on the back panel, and this combination collects far fewer fingerprints than before. The 258-gram weight initially feels heavy, but after a few hours of use, you stop noticing the numbers—the balance is better thought out, so the phone doesn’t tilt toward the hinges. Thickness when folded is 11.2 mm, noticeable in the hand: the grip is now more confident, especially when holding the device one-handed on the go. The surface is non-slip, and even in cold weather, the metal remains comfortable without chilling your fingers.
Display and Camera
The internal 8-inch display gained about 15% more contrast, making dark areas in movies appear richer. In bright daylight, the image does not fade—maximum brightness of 1800 nits truly enhances visibility when the sun hits the panel directly. The external 120 Hz display became slightly more vivid, but colors look natural without exaggerated "punchiness." The camera, thanks to a redesigned autofocus algorithm, locks onto subjects faster, and night scenes have fewer blurred edges. Wide dynamic range helps recover shadows—the improvement is immediately noticeable, especially in evening street shots.
Performance
The Tensor G5, with speeds up to 3.78 GHz, provides about 17% more power in heavy tasks, reflected in smoother multitasking. Switching between YouTube, Maps, and messaging apps is seamless, and demanding games maintain a stable frame without stutters. The interface does not lag even with multiple windows open in the layout. The 16 GB of RAM prevents app reloads, so social media opens exactly where left off.
Software
Android 15 feels more cohesive, especially regarding gestures and animations. The foldable format is implemented more precisely: apps transfer correctly between screens, and AI functions help sort the gallery or select shots when photographing children and pets. Sound has become richer—the stereo pair better fills space, although volume is roughly on par with competitors in the foldable segment.
Battery and Charging
In practice, the phone lasts about 7–7.5 hours of active screen use. Video at maximum brightness consumes roughly 12% per hour, games about 18%, and GPS in prolonged navigation about 10–11% per hour. Battery life improved by approximately 12%, noticeable in real usage—the evening comes without the usual search for a charger. Fast charging brings the battery from 10% to 50% in about half an hour, convenient for quickly leaving the house.
Conclusion
After a few days of use, it’s clear that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has finally found its rhythm. It is suitable for those who frequently use a large screen for studying, editing short videos, reading articles, and communication. The camera is more reliable in complex scenes, battery life is no longer a weak point, though compromises remain—folded size and full charging time. Otherwise, this is a device chosen for its format and calm experience, allowing you to unfold the large display and continue your tasks without extra hassle.
