History
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, was officially announced on August 20, 2025, alongside the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro , and Pixel 10 Pro XL at the annual Made by Google keynote in Brooklyn, New York. The launch event was hosted by late-night comedian Jimmy Fallon and featured appearances by NBA star Stephen Curry, Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, and the musical group Jonas Brothers, where they also premiered the music video of "I Can't Lose" which was also filmed on the Pixel 10 Pro. Preorders began the same day, although it took until October 9 for it to release in the United States.

Design
Compared to its predecessor, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's design is nearly identical. Like the rest of the Pixel 10 series, it has flat sides and rounded corners, but is much thinner to allow the phone to fold in half with nearly the same thickness as the slab-style models. As a foldable smartphone, it contains a flexible internal display that is nearly twice the size of the outer display, which can be folded in half to make the phone more pocketable. The cover display has slightly thinner bezels, increasing the screen size from 6.3" to 6.4". It is slightly thicker than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold due to a larger battery.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and first Pixel Fold used only "Obsidian" and "Porcelain" colorways, but the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has 2 different colors that match Pixel 10 Pro & Pro XL: Moonstone and Jade
Hardware
Both OLED displays of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold have similar specifications to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The 8" internal Super Actua Flex Display and external 6.4" Actua Display have a peak brightness of 3000 nits, and a 120Hz refresh rate, although the internal display uses an LTPO display.
The camera configuration remains unchanged from the previous generation, using the same 48MP Wide, 10.5MP Ultrawide, and 10.8MP 5x Telephoto cameras on the rear, and the same identical 10MP selfie cameras on the cover display and internal folding display.
Following the rest of the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold obtains the Tensor G5 custom System-on-Chip (SoC), which is a noticeable upgrade over the Tensor G4 and other previous Tensor processors. Instead of using Samsung Exynos fabrication, Google switched their chip manufacturer to TSMC, and used their state of the art N3E 3nm processing node that many other smartphone chips use, such as the Apple A18 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite. Compared to Exynos, it provides better efficiency, performance improvements, and runs at lower temperatures, which often plagued older Pixel models. Although it uses a similar 8-core configuration as the Tensor G4, it slightly outperforms it in single-core and multi-core benchmarks, and significantly outlasts it in terms of battery efficiency. It uses the same Samsung Exynos 5400 modem as the Tensor G4, allowing for Satelite connectivity for contacting emergency services in dead zones.
Despite the foldable being nearly half the thickness of the Pixel 10 & 10 Pro when unfolded, it fully supports the new Google-branded "Pixelsnap" technology, adding a circular magnet array to the back of the phone to allign cases, wallets, phone mounts, stands, and wireless charging pucks and stands, and other accessories using the magnetic field.[2] It is based on Qi2, the wireless charging standard that introduced MagSafe compatibility found in iPhones since the iPhone 12. Unlike it's slab phone counterparts which support up to 25 Watts wireless charging speeds, it can only max out at 15W. Although it is not the first foldable smartphone to support the Qi2 specification, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 being the first to be Qi2-Ready, it is the very first to have magnets built into the back of the phone, similar to iPhones.
Software
The Pixel 10 Series comes pre-installed with Android 16, with the recently-announced Material 3 Expressive UI theming also onboard at launch. It is based on the same Material You themeing introduced with the Pixel 6 series and Android 12. It changes font & icon styles, makes text, time, buttons, and icons expand and scale dynamically. It makes animations more fluid and makes haptics more frequent throughout interfaces, and overhauls the nonification bar and Quick Settings panel to allow for more customization.
Exclusive to the Pixel 10 Series are multiple AI-powered features. Magic Cue is an agentic suggestion integration that leverages on-device machine learning to provide relevant information to the user during a text conversation or phone call. It scans information in emails, messages, notes, and surfaces relavant suggestions to autofill in a text message or display during a phone call. It is only integrated with Google services as the moment, such as Gmail, Keep Notes, Google Messages, Google Calendar, etc.
Camera Coach is an Gemini-powered virtual guide that assists the user in taking photos in the Camera app by providing step-by-step instructions for proper framing, lighting, composition and more. It does not run on-device, and therefore reliant on an internet connection to function.
Also within the Camera app is a new "Instant View" mode. When the dipsplay is unfolded, you can preview a camera roll of recently-taken photos on the left-half of the screen while the right-half displays the live viewfinder. This mode is exclusive to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold only.
