We’ve simply revealed our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 assessment on Tech Advisor, declaring it “one of the best foldable cellphone you should buy”. However there are fashions on the best way which could take its crown, together with the Pixel 10 Professional Fold.
The Z Fold 7 seems like a marvel of engineering – an attractive cellphone with so much to love. Nevertheless, Samsung hasn’t centered on the issues that matter most to me, so if the leaks are true, the Pixel 10 Professional Fold would be the winner.
We don’t understand how skinny the Pixel 10 Professional will probably be but, however I truly don’t care
Evidently Samsung was too busy making an attempt to make the Z Fold 7 as skinny as doable, enjoying foldable cellphone ‘Prime Trumps’ in opposition to the likes of Honor and its Magic V5. Whereas half the web is debating which is thinner, Google is about to come back together with a greater possibility.
We don’t understand how skinny the Pixel 10 Professional Fold will probably be but, however I truly don’t care. A race to the underside in that respect doesn’t impress me, other than in a theoretical engineering means.
Certain, it may be thinner than a pencil or a coin, however there are inevitable downsides so as to obtain this.
Even when Google does make its subsequent foldable thinner, it doesn’t seem to be it would have the identical sacrifices in comparison with the Z Fold 7.
Mud buster
Leaked info, which is commonly spot on, suggests the Pixel 10 Professional Fold will include an IP68 score. This implies it’s absolutely dust-proof and you may absolutely submerge it in water – that’s critically spectacular for a cellphone that unfolds like a guide.

In the meantime, the Z Fold 7 is proscribed to IP48, which means it has the identical water resistance (the 8 within the IP score) however continues to be prone to mud particles, jeopardising its sturdiness and longevity.
Whenever you reside with a two-year-old and a canine, telephones should be sturdy, usually which means a foldable is out of the query, however the Pixel 10 Professional Fold seems to have solved this drawback.
Energy the place it issues
Moreover, the Pixel 10 Professional Fold seems like it would beat the Z Fold 7 in one other essential space… battery life.
Samsung’s super-thin design and lack of silicon-carbon battery expertise imply the cellphone is proscribed to a 4400mAh cell.

Nevertheless, rumours recommend the Pixel 10 Professional Fold will probably be coming into the ring at 5015mAh. That’s 14% larger, and I’ll take it even when the cellphone is thicker and heavier than its Korean rival.
I’m actually not saying the Pixel 10 Professional Fold will beat the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 in each respect; it nearly actually gained’t, however the place it issues most to me, it seems like will probably be the winner.
Google telephones not often win in uncooked benchmarks, however that’s not the form of energy I want from my cellphone. I want minutes, not body charges.
We don’t have too lengthy to attend both, as Google has confirmed its subsequent launch occasion will happen on 20 August, the place your complete Pixel 10 collection will nearly actually be formally unveiled.
