Google is tackling the two biggest hurdles for foldable phones—durability and intelligence—with its new Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The device debuts as one of the first in its category to achieve a full IP68 water and dust resistance rating, while also being powered by the same advanced AI as its traditional counterparts.
The move to an IP68 rating is a landmark for the foldable market, offering users the same level of protection against the elements they expect from a standard flagship phone. This crucial engineering feat directly addresses consumer hesitancy about the fragility of flexible devices, making the Pro Fold a more practical choice for everyday life.
Beyond its brawn, the Pro Fold has brains. It is equipped with the new Tensor G5 chip, meaning it doesn’t compromise on performance or AI capabilities. It runs the “Magic Cue” proactive assistant, which anticipates user needs by pulling relevant information from apps, making it a powerful productivity tool that unfolds into a larger workspace.
With a camera system similar to the highly capable Pixel 10 and a starting price of $1,799, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold presents a complete package. It’s a device that no longer asks users to choose between the novelty of a folding screen and the resilience and intelligence of a top-tier smartphone.
