Expert Analysis
Google is no longer just playing catch-up with Samsung and Apple—it's taking a leap in practical innovation. The new AI features like Camera Coach (which gives real-time photo suggestions) and Magic Cue (auto-displays helpful data mid-call) make this launch feel genuinely smart.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold also solves what many foldables have lacked: confidence in build quality. Its IP68 rating makes it a practical daily driver for the first time in Google's foldable efforts.
Early Verdict
The Pixel 10 lineup delivers solid performance, Google’s best-ever foldable, and AI features that feel meaningful—not gimmicky. Add to that competitive pricing and an expanding ecosystem, and it’s one of the most complete Android releases in 2025.
