Upcoming Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold may outperform Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 in two significant aspects
In the ever-evolving world of technology, the upcoming Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 are set to redefine the foldable smartphone market. Both devices boast innovative features and competitive advantages, making them the talk of the town.
### Design and Display
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, with its refined design, is poised to challenge Samsung's dominance. The device sports a cover display of 6.4 inches, slightly larger than its predecessor due to reduced bezels. The inner display remains an impressive 8 inches, maintaining the same size as its predecessor. Both displays offer a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is also rumoured to boast an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, making it the first foldable phone to offer such protection.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, while details are still emerging, is expected to continue its tradition of large internal foldable displays (around 7.6 inches) and cover displays of approximately 6.2 to 6.3 inches. The device is likely to maintain its 120 Hz refresh rate on both displays and improved water resistance over the Z Fold 6.
### Battery Specifications
When it comes to battery life, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is set to outshine its predecessor with a 5,015 mAh battery, a 7% increase from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 4,650 mAh. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, while specifics are yet to be confirmed, is expected to offer a moderate improvement in battery capacity.
### Performance and Storage
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is powered by the new Tensor G5 SoC, promising a performance boost over the Tensor G4 in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It comes with 16GB of RAM (an upgrade from previous options) and storage options ranging up to 1TB. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to sport a flagship Snapdragon or Exynos chipset, offering equivalent or superior performance, along with 12-16GB RAM and similar storage tiers.
### A Tight Race
As the Pixel 10 Pro Fold prepares for its unveiling later in the month, it's clear that both devices offer high refresh rate foldable OLED displays, premium flagship processors, and ample RAM and storage. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold may appeal with its improved water and dust resistance, larger battery, and IP68 rating, while Samsung’s Z Fold 7 traditionally excels in display size and hinge innovations.
With the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's battery being 13% larger than the Z Fold 7's battery, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's IP68 rating, if achieved, making it one of the few foldable phones with a high dust resistance score, it's shaping up to be a very competitive race in the foldable flagship market.
