Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold 30-second teaser reveals familiar design, internet expects IP68, bigger battery, Tensor G5 and… maybe even a sales delay until October
A week before the event »Made by Google" the company released an official video for Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The teaser confirms a similar look to last year's 9 Pro Fold, and rumors add IP68 protection, a 5,015 mAh battery, a 6.4-inch external display, and a Tensor G5 chip. Sales may not start until October, though.
Why Google showed us everything!
Google said about as much as a haiku in 30 seconds: “You open your phone — then you open it again.” The video officially confirms that the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold exists, showing off the internal display, the triple-camera setup on the back, and the sleek gray color. The design is very close to the 9 Pro Fold; the key is the internal upgrades. The event is on August 20, so now is the time to separate the verified data from the slightly salted rumors.
What Google has officially revealed (and what it hasn't)
The teaser confirms the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold's "book" folding style, an internal display with no surprises, and the familiar modular camera design on the back. There are no specifications — not even a crumb. The color in the video is gray; green and gold are also mentioned elsewhere, but these are not in the clip.
Dates: presentation is clear, sales a little less
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold event date is locked in: August 20. However, several separate reports suggest that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could hit shelves later than the other models — around October 9, due to “supply chain issues.” That means the standard Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL would go on sale earlier.
Machine learning: less cosmetics, more logic
Screens. The external display is expected to grow to 6.4 inches (from 6.3), while the internal one remains around 8 inches. Peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits and a 120 Hz refresh rate are expected.
Endurance. The hottest (and most difficult) rumor is IP68 — complete dust protection and waterproof up to 1.5m/30min. If it comes true, it will be the first foldable with such protection. Last year's 9 Pro Fold had IPX8 (no formal dust protection).
Battery and charging. There is talk of 5,015 mAh (up from ~4,650 mAh), up to 23 W wired and up to 15 W wireless charging (Qi2).
Chip and memory. The new Tensor G5 (TSMC 3 nm), 16 GB of RAM and 256/512 GB and 1 TB of space are expected.
Camera. The package should remain similar to the 9 Pro Fold: 48 MP main, 10.5 MP ultrawide and 10.8 MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom; 10 MP selfie camera on both screens. Proven enough for the software magic to work its magic. (
Programming Smarts: Gemini as a Director
Three common threads emerge in the field of AI functions. The first is Camera Coach — an assistant that is supposed to advise on composition and settings in real time. The other is "Conversational Photo Editing" or voice/text photo editing. The third are broader Gemini news, reportedly including a year of free "Google AI Pro" subscription on select models. All of this is still rumor, but consistent across multiple sources.
Qi2 and magnets: "Pixelsnap" as MagSafe for Android? – Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold
A new wave of leaks suggests support Qi2 with magnetic coil alignment (especially handy for thicker foldable devices). Whether the magnets will be built into the phone or in official cases varies among reports, but Google is said to be seriously entering the world of magnetic accessories under the brand this time Pixelsnap.
Competitors: how it (can) measure up to the Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung's Z Fold 7 is official IP48, which is better than the old “IPX8” for foldables, but still a long way from IP68. It also has a smaller battery (around 4,400 mAh). If Google delivers on IP68 and 5,015 mAh, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will have a tangible advantage in durability and autonomy — although Samsung will likely remain faster in raw power and with a larger main camera sensor.
Price and colors: ranges, not numbers set in stone
There are several numbers circulating in the media: from the announcement that the Fold will be cheaper this year, to the European range of €1,899-2,289. The color scheme is said to be completed by green and gold, although they are not in the official video. Take everything with a grain of salt — Google has not yet announced official prices and configurations.
What is (still) unclear?
– Will IP68 really be achieved on a production device (technically the hardest part is the hinge).
– How much of the Qi2 “magnetic” experience will be built into the phone and how much into accessories.
– Pricing strategy by market and exact delivery date for Fold (compared to non-Fold models).
Reality Check: What is Fact Today?
– Teaser It exists and confirms the familiar design and gray color.
– Event date it's August 20th (it's officially on the Google Store).
– Predecessor 9 Pro Fold has IPX8 and a typical 4,650 mAh battery — a good frame of reference for comparisons.
Conclusion: less glitter, more usability (if the rumors are confirmed)
If you're not looking for a revolution but a solid evolution with the Fold 2025, the recipe makes sense: better screens, a bigger battery, better protection, a solid camera lineup, and a fresh chip. If Google really delivers IP68 and Qi2 magnetic comfort, this will be the biggest leap in the everyday life of foldable phones in a very long time. Delaying sales until October would be a passing note, but not necessarily fatal. We are only a week away from revealing all the cards — we will monitor whether the marketing will be supported by physics and seals in practice.
