Pixel 10 Pro Fold in Brooklyn
Google introduced the Pixel 10 Pro Fold today at the Made by Google event in Brooklyn, celebrating ten years of the Pixel line. The new foldable smartphone arrived alongside several announcements, including live call translation that mimics a speaker’s voice in real time and Veo, an AI text-to-video model capable of generating clips from personal photos. Among the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s standout features are the new Camera Coach tool, an expanded Instant View for photography, and a gearless hinge designed for long-term durability.

Google’s most resilient foldable phone
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold presents itself as Google’s most resilient foldable phone to date. The smartphone‘s body is built from aerospace-grade aluminum and is available in Moonstone and Jade finishes, a material palette that emphasizes strength as well as refinement. The redesigned hinge operates without gears, doubling the durability of the previous generation while also earning the phone an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance — rare for foldable devices.
Google also reworked the Super Actua Flex Display. Constructed from ultra-thin glass with two layers of anti-impact film, the display is engineered to withstand over a decade of daily folding. At 8 inches, the inner display is the largest on any foldable, while the 6.4-inch outer display benefits from slimmer bezels. Both achieve up to 3000 nits of brightness, ensuring clear visibility in bright sunlight or dim interiors.

Performance and Power
Underpinning the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the new Tensor G5 processor, a custom chip designed to enhance both performance and on-device AI. Along with everyday efficiency, the processor powers features such as Gemini Live, Magic Cue, and Daily Hub, while boosting camera capabilities through computational photography.
Battery life extends to more than 30 hours, supported by faster wired charging and the debut of Qi2 wireless charging in a foldable phone. The built-in Pixelsnap magnetic system makes wireless accessories more versatile, from a stand-mounted charger to a ring stand for hands-free streaming.

Camera Features
Photography remains central to the Pixel identity, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold carries an advanced triple camera system led by a new 48MP main sensor. It supports Macro Focus for detailed close-ups, Super Res Zoom up to 20x, and a rear-camera selfie mode.
Two features debut with this model: Camera Coach, a guide that offers real-time tips for better framing, and Instant View, which displays shots across the unfolded screen the moment they are captured, making it easy to reshoot before the scene changes. These tools complement fold-specific functions such as Dual Screen Preview and Tabletop Mode.
