Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: First IP68 foldable rumoured to launch with larger battery and improved cover display too

Honor, Samsung and Vivo have all released new foldables in the last few weeks. Of these, only the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the X Fold5 are available internationally. However, Honor should soon introduce a global version of the Magic V5 too.

On top of that, Google is expected to replace the Pixel 9 Pro Fold with a direct tenth-generation successor. According to Android Headlines, Google plans to bring a few upgrades to this year's foldable that have not been the subject of recent leaks. For instance, the cover display is now rumoured to grow by 0.1-inches to 6.4-inches in a change that will see the Pixel 10 Pro Fold coming up 0.1-inches short of the Galaxy Z Fold7 (curr. $1,999.99 on Amazon).

Apparently, Google has achieved this upgrade by reducing bezel thickness rather than adjusting overall dimensions. As a result, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will likely retain the 8-inch foldable panel size of its predecessor. Moreover, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is tipped to arrive with a 7.8% larger battery totalling 5,015 mAh and a 10% brighter cover display.

Currently, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is rumoured to be launching on August 20 with two colour options and a choice between 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of storage. Prices are said to be ranging between €1,899 and €2,289 (~$2,215/$2,670), all with Google's Tensor G5 chipset and IP68 certification against dust and water.
