It's not long now until the next Made by Google event, which should see the unveiling of the Pixel 10 lineup — one that includes the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. We already know a lot about the phone, thanks to the usual wave of leaks, and now Google has started officially teasing the new foldable.
The teaser is in a similar vein to last week's Pixel 10 teaser, which poked fun at Apple for its continual issues with upgrading Siri and Apple Intelligence. Only this time it's emphasizing the joy of "opening" your phone. Not just that first unboxing, but also every time you get to physically open and unfold the screen.
We then get a glimpse of the back of the phone. It won't be surprising to anyone who's seen the leaks to find out that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold looks shockingly like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Based on what we can see, both these phones are identical from this angle, which doesn't suggest there will be major design upgrades on the rest of the phone.
We do get to see another device in Google's new "Moonstone" color, which has leaked multiple times in recent weeks. So if you want your phone in a slightly different shade of gray, this might be the option for you.
This teaser isn't openly taking shots at other phones. Unless Google's taking aim at all the phones that don't offer a folding screen, including its own, which seems pretty unlikely. So this is more of a "please buy our super-expensive folding phone."
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: What to expect
Leaked specs reiterate the fact that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold isn't going to seem all that different from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold — at least not physically. According to the leaks, we're expecting to see a phone with an 8-inch foldable OLED screen and a slightly larger 6.4-inch cover display, both of which should offer a 120Hz refresh rate. That extra tenth of an inch will likely come from slimmer bezels, rather than any major redesign.
Inside, we're expecting to see the new Tensor G5 chipset, the same 16GB of RAM, a larger 5,015 mAh battery and a choice of 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage. The camera is expected to come with the same 48MP main lens as before, joined by a 10.8MP ultrawide, 10.5 MP telephoto (5x optical zoom) and a pair of 10MP selfie cameras.
While not physically visible, rumors also suggest that the 10 Pro Fold will be IP68 rated, the first foldable to ever have the maximum dust resistance score of six. It's also claimed that we'll see Qi2 wireless charging, which should boost the wireless charging speed to 15W and offer a magnetic connection — which Google is reportedly calling PixelSnap.
Price-wise, we've heard that we may see a $1,600 starting price, which is $100 less than the previous two Pixel foldables. But I wouldn't get my hopes up for that, especially with tariffs always looming. We'll find out for sure on August 20, and until then, you can keep track of all the latest news and rumors in our Pixel 10 Pro Fold hub.
