At Google’s Made by Google event on Wednesday, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold was officially introduced. Although it doesn’t represent a revolutionary change from last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the enhancements are substantial for fans of foldable phones. Notably, it becomes the first foldable to feature an IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
The device is priced at $1,799 and will be released on Oct. 9, which is slightly later than other Pixel 10 models. It is available in Moonstone and Jade colors. We had the chance to closely inspect the new foldable and have all the details.

Brightness has seen an upgrade from 2,700 nits last year, enhancing visibility in sunlight. The new Tensor G5 chip boosts performance, and the battery is significantly larger and expected to offer improved durability compared to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s.
