Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to be a notch better in terms of durability than any other current foldable. As per a fresh leak, the book-style foldable will come with IP68 dust and water resistance—a first for any foldable phone. The device is also said to feature a larger display, which would be brighter than its predecessor. Moreover, it will be powered by a Tensor G5 chipset, manufactured by TSMC.
Foldables have come a long way in terms of durability and design; however, most of them still remain vulnerable to finer dust particles. For context, Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Motorola Razr Ultra both come with an IP48 rating, which blocks larger particles but doesn’t fully seal out dust. Now, reports suggest that Google’s upcoming foldable, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, will offer an IP68 rating—up from the IPX8 rating on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. If this is true, then Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be completely dustproof, making it one of the most durable foldables.
A report from Android Headlines suggests that the device will have a smaller gap between the cover display and the hinge, resulting in a slightly larger 6.4-inch cover screen compared to 6.3 inches on last year’s model. The panel is also said to come with an upgraded 3,000 nits of peak brightness.
The device is likely to be powered by a new Tensor G5 chip, built on TSMC’s second-gen 3nm manufacturing process. The chipset will be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of onboard storage. More importantly, the battery is expected to be 7 percent bigger than last year’s. The Pixel 10 Pro may feature a 5,015mAh battery and faster charging speeds—23W wired and 15W wireless via Qi2.
The camera hardware is said to remain unchanged from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, with a 48MP main sensor, 10.5MP ultrawide, and 10.8MP telephoto lens. Meanwhile, both displays will have 10MP selfie cameras.
Google is yet to confirm the launch event; however, leaks suggest that Pixel 10 Pro Fold will make its debut on August 20.
