Is it advisable to purchase the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold?

The tech world is abuzz with excitement as Google prepares to unveil its latest innovation, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This foldable phone, a new addition to the category that Google has entered with its releases, is set to arrive on October 9.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold boasts several improvements that make it well worth the wait. For starters, the primary camera uses a newer 48MP sensor. The device is also powered by the Tensor G5, which promises a 30% boost to CPU performance over the G4 and improves on-device AI performance by approximately 60%.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is available for pre-order at Best Buy for $1,039, making it a more affordable option compared to its base model price of $1,799 for 256GB of storage, with a 1TB option available.

However, the release date of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is a couple of months after its non-foldable counterparts, and it arrives ahead of the 2025 holiday frenzy, which may not help those who want to upgrade now. Apple is expected to announce its next event soon, where the iPhone 17 series will be introduced, and it may be released before the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is designed, developed, and produced by Google as part of the Google Pixel product line. It features a foldable design with an IP68 rating, offering dust protection. The telephoto and ultrawide cameras remain unchanged from its predecessor, but the camera hardware does not use the same sensors as the Pixel 10 Pro.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7, available now in carrier stores and Best Buy, shares the same primary camera sensor as the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, on the other hand, features Pixelsnap, Qi2, and MagSafe accessories without requiring adapters or unique cases.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold's battery life is impressive, claiming to last up to 30 hours on a single charge. This is a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which introduced an all-new design.

The delay in the release of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is due to "supply chain issues." Despite this, the anticipation for this innovative device remains high, and tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its arrival on October 9.
