Google is gearing up to unveil its next-generation Pixel 10 lineup at the “Made by Google” showcase on August 20. With just two days to go, the company has been steadily releasing teasers, offering glimpses of the new Google Pixel 10 5G smartphones. The latest teaser, however, goes beyond design reveals, hinting strongly at fresh AI-driven tools that could set the series apart.
The smartphone is likely to feature improvements in durability, charging, display, and camera capabilities. Most notably, the device is said to carry an IP68 rating, which, if confirmed, would make it the first foldable smartphone to offer this level of dust resistance. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is set to launch alongside the rest of the Pixel 10 series at the Made by Google event on August 20.
Features of Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold:
One of the standout changes is durability. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to ship with an IP68 rating, offering both dust and water resistance. This would make it the first foldable device to reach this standard, outpacing the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s IPX8 rating and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, which carries an IP48 rating.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will reportedly support the Qi2 wireless charging protocol, which uses built-in magnetic coils for better charger alignment. This would also make it compatible with a growing ecosystem of Qi2-certified accessories. Earlier reports suggested Google is developing its accessory line under the “Pixelsnap” brand. However, the report clarified that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be limited to standard Qi 2 charging speeds (15W) and will not support the newer 25W Qi 2 standard.
The display setup is also set for refinement. Both the cover display and the main foldable screen are expected to grow slightly in size, thanks to slimmer bezels. Specifically, the outer screen may expand to 6.4 inches (up from 6.3 inches on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold), while brightness levels could hit 3,000 nits peak across both panels.
In terms of imaging, Google is unlikely to overhaul the camera hardware significantly. However, the telephoto sensor could see a notable improvement, offering up to 10x optical zoom, doubling the 5x capability of the previous model.
