Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the newly launched Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold are the two top smartphones dominating the rapidly growing foldable phone segment in 2025, leaving customers confused in selecting their next device.
Design & Portability
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 leads the pack in sleekness and portability. Closed, it is a mere 8.9 mm thick, and 4.2 mm when open, weighing a mere 215 g. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold measures 10.8 mm closed and 5.2 mm open, and weighs 258 g, still dignified but not quite so sleek.
Performance & AI Edge
Powering the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which provides great multi-core and gaming performance. In tests, it's some 40% faster than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
But the Pixel resists with Google's Tensor G5 chip and 16 GB of RAM, optimized for advanced AI capabilities like Magic Cue, Camera Coach, and real-time Gemini-powered translation. It's also the first foldable with complete IP68 water and dust resistance, which means it's tougher.
Battery & Display
With a 5,015 mAh battery capable of up to 30 hours of use, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold beats out the Galaxy, which contains a 4,400 mAh battery lasting around 24 hours, if battery life is your main concern.
Both models boast stunning 8-inch foldable screens made of ultra-thin glass and high-brightness capability. Samsung holds a slight edge with a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED cover display over the Pixel's 6.4-inch OLED front screen.
Price in India
In India, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold starts at ₹1,72,999, a tiny margin higher than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, starting at ₹1,74,999
Which one can you choose?
Choose Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 if you want sturdy performance, a simple design, and a form factor that leads the industry, and if longevity, battery life, and intelligent AI capabilities are more important to you, the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is a better, more progressive option.
