Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold doesn't necessitate a resemblance to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and here's the reason why.
The tech world is abuzz with anticipation for the upcoming Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the latest iteration in Google's line of foldable smartphones. This device is rumored to boast a series of significant internal upgrades, setting it apart from its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Performance and Efficiency
At the heart of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold lies the new Tensor G5 chipset, built on a 3nm TSMC process. This change promises improved performance and power efficiency compared to the Tensor G4 in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Battery Life and Charging
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to deliver a longer battery life, with a battery capacity growing from 4,650mAh in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to about 5,015mAh. While specific charging wattage details are not yet confirmed, wireless charging speeds are rumored to increase from 8W to a more respectable 15W.
Durability and Water Resistance
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is also rumored to have an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, making it potentially more durable than the competition. This rating marks a significant improvement over the previous model.
Display Enhancements
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to feature a slightly larger and brighter cover OLED display, with improved PWM (flicker) performance for enhanced outdoor visibility and eye comfort.
Camera System
Interestingly, the camera system of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to remain largely unchanged, continuing to use the same sensors as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold (48MP main, 10.8MP telephoto, and 10.5MP ultrawide). Google's renowned software is expected to drive any photography improvements.
Design and Price
In terms of design, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is not likely to have a significantly different look from its predecessor. The device is rumored to be relatively thin compared to other foldables in the market, though it may be roughly 2mm thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to launch at the same $1,799 price tag as its predecessor.
Qi2 Magnetic Charging
The Pixel 10 series may be the first Android flagship phones to support built-in Qi2 magnetic charging. To accommodate this feature, a new accessory called "Pixelsnap" is rumored, suggesting that a separate case may not be necessary.
New Color Options
Lastly, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is rumored to have new color options, adding a touch of personal style to this cutting-edge device.
Google is expected to launch the Pixel 10 Pro Fold at its upcoming Made By Google event. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of foldable technology.
