Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Slimmer Hinge, Bigger Cover Screen
One of the biggest upgrades this year is the redesigned hinge. Google has made the hinge on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold thinner than before, which brings two key improvements:
- It makes the phone more comfortable to hold and carry.
- It allows Google to increase the cover screen size without making the device larger overall.
Compared to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 6.3-inch outer screen, the new model will have a 6.4-inch display. That actually makes the cover screen larger than the standard Pixel 10 and 10 Pro, which is quite impressive.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: First Foldable with IP68 Rating
In a major move, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is set to be the first foldable phone with an IP68 certification. While past foldables from Motorola and Samsung had partial dust and water protection (IP48 or IPX8), none were fully sealed against dust.
What the numbers 6 and 8 means in IP68 rating:
| Rating | Protection Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Dust | Fully dust-tight |
| 8 | Water | Can survive underwater (up to 1m for 30 mins) |
This is a big deal because foldable phones have more moving parts, making them harder to seal from dust. But Google has managed to achieve this, giving the Pixel 10 Pro Fold an edge over Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, which are rumored to match this feature but haven’t launched yet.
Why This Matters For Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold?
Most foldable phones have focused on making their hinges smoother or displays better. But dust protection has always been a weak point, and that’s what Google is fixing. With the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, users can finally expect a foldable that is more durable for daily use, especially in dusty or outdoor environments.
Earlier models, including the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, only had an IPX8 rating, which meant no official protection from dust. Now, in just a year, Google is moving from zero dust rating to the top-level IP68, showing its commitment to making foldables more reliable.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Launch Details
Google is expected to officially announce the Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, on August 20, 2025. The release is likely on August 28, just a week later.
This timeline puts it ahead of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, giving Google the first-mover advantage in offering full dustproof protection.
With the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google isn’t just bringing another foldable to the market—it’s making real improvements that users have been asking for.
