We Compare the 2025 Folds: Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The foldable phone war just got more interesting. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is already out in the wild, sleeker, smarter, and more polished than ever. But Google isn’t far behind. 

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is on the horizon, and early buzz suggests it’s aiming to fix past mistakes with a more refined design and smoother software experience.

In this Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 guide, we break down what each phone brings to the table, so you can decide which one actually fits your life.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to be announced alongside the rest of the Pixel 10 series on August 20th, but may not be available for purchase until October, a report from Forbes says. This is due to potential supply chain issues. While the other Pixel 10 models (Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL) are expected to be available starting August 28th.

Before this flagship hits the market, here’s what we know so far about Google’s newest foldable.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold appears to be an upgrade over Google’s first-generation foldable. It has an 8.0-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a new triple rear camera setup, and 16GB of RAM.

There is also Google’s updated 48MP primary sensor, a 5x optical zoom lens, and Pixel-style computational photography.

It is expected to ship with Android 16, support IP68 dust and water resistance, and have a more durable body thanks to Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is already officially launched and out in the wild, which means all the specs and details are confirmed. It comes with smarter refinements and a more comfortable design overall. And with more Galaxy Z Fold 7 case options now available, it’s easier than ever to protect your investment in style.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, lighter (239g), and easier to carry. The display is brighter and more power-efficient, and it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, making it one of the fastest foldables you can buy right now.

Here’s a quick rundown of what it offers:

• 215g weight, ultra-thin design

• Advanced Armor Aluminum frame

• Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 protection

• 7.6" AMOLED, 2,600 nits brightness

• 6.5" cover screen, 21:9 aspect ratio

• Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor

• AI-enhanced thermal performance

• S Pen and Samsung DeX support

• Galaxy Watch and Buds integration

• Seamless Smart Switch transfer

Now that we’ve looked at each phone individually, it’s time to compare them side by side. From display quality to battery life, here’s how they differ in some areas.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a slightly larger 8” main screen, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 sticks to its 7.6” size. Pixel uses LTPO OLED, great for efficiency, but Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED 2X is more refined for brightness and outdoor use.

Both offer 120Hz refresh rates. The Pixel’s cover screen is brighter at 2,050 nits vs Samsung’s unlisted (but consistently bright) outer display. One drawback for the Pixel: its 240Hz PWM might cause flicker for sensitive eyes.

In terms of durability, Pixel uses Gorilla Glass and Ultra Thin Glass, while Samsung continues to lead with its more mature and tested folding display tech.

Here’s a quick side-by-side comparison:

The cover screen plays a significant role in determining how usable a foldable device feels when closed, and both phones appear to have made improvements in this area.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 uses a 6.5-inch cover screen with a comfortable 21:9 aspect ratio. It feels more like a regular smartphone when folded, which is great for one-handed use and easier typing.

Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to come with a 6.4-inch OLED display. It’s wider than Google’s first Fold, so day-to-day use should feel less cramped. It might not be as slim as Samsung’s, but the upgrade is still a solid win.

Here’s a quick comparison:

Both foldables pack serious camera setups, but they take different paths. Samsung pushes hardware to the max, while Google leans on smart software and image processing.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is confirmed to use a 200MP main sensor (yep, the same one from the S25 Ultra), which is a big step up. You also get solid ultrawide and telephoto lenses, plus Samsung’s usual camera polish.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, on the other hand, is expected to use a refined version of Google’s classic Pixel camera setup, focused on sharp detail, Super Res Zoom, and next-level video stabilization. Early leaks suggest the front and back cameras will all get upgrades too.

Here’s a quick side-by-side look:

Both the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 7 are top-tier when it comes to performance.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is all about raw speed and top-tier benchmark numbers, while Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold focuses on AI smarts, efficiency, and everyday smoothness.

Samsung’s chipset is already proven in other 2025 flagships, while Google’s Tensor G5 is expected to bring its biggest leap yet, especially for AI-driven features.

Here’s how they compare:

Battery specs look good on paper, but how long your phone actually lasts depends on how well the software manages power.

Google is stepping up with a bigger battery and faster charging, while Samsung keeps things efficient with its polished One UI.
