Compare Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Price: Google is cheaper but Samsung keeps the brand position

In the premium foldable phone segment, both Samsung and Google have launched products aimed at customers willing to pay a lot. Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold starts at $1,799, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 costs $1,999.

The $200 gap makes the Pixel a more affordable option, but overall it’s still in the luxury segment. People who choose this product line are more interested in experience and technology than cost savings.

Design: Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thin and light, Pixel 10 Pro Fold is heavier

Samsung enters the 7th generation of Fold with a distinct highlight: thinness and weight. The device is only 8.9mm thick when folded and 4.2mm when opened, weighing 215g, making it more comfortable to hold and use for a long time than previous generations.

In contrast, Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a thicker design (10.8mm folded - 5.2mm unfolded) and weighs 258g. While not too bulky, a direct comparison shows that the Pixel is less flexible when held for long periods of time or in a pocket.

Display and performance: Google is brighter, Samsung focuses on powerful chips

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is equipped with:

8-inch AMOLED internal display (2184x1968, 120Hz)

6.5-inch secondary display (2520x1080, 120Hz)

Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip

Optional 12GB or 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage

4,400mAh battery

Pixel 10 Pro Fold has the following configuration:

8-inch AMOLED internal display (2076x2152, 120Hz)

6.4-inch external display (1080x2364, 120Hz)

Google Tensor G5 Chip

16GB default RAM for all versions, maximum memory 1TB

5,015mAh battery

One notable point: the Pixel display reaches a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits, higher than the 2,600 nits on the Z Fold 7, making it clearer to see outdoors.

In terms of battery, the Pixel has a much larger capacity, promising longer battery life. Meanwhile, the Z Fold 7 sacrifices battery capacity in exchange for an ultra-thin design, and in stress testing, the device has not passed the 24-hour mark.

AI and software: Pixel has more features, Samsung is not far behind

Both devices run Android with many built-in AI features: live language translation during calls, a personal interface that displays calendar, weather, daily suggestions, and the ability to drag and drop AI content in foldable screen multitasking mode.

However, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a few additional advantages:

AI edits photos with text, allowing users to enter commands to change image details.

Camera Coach provides smart framing instructions, especially useful for general users.

Samsung isn't far behind, but it's clear Google is investing in making AI a differentiator on the Pixel.

Camera: Samsung super sensor 200MP, Google keeps zoom advantage

Z Fold 7 is equipped with the system:

200MP main camera

12MP wide angle camera

10MP Telephoto, 3x optical zoom

Front camera: 10MP for both internal and external screens

Pixel 10 Pro Fold:

48MP main camera

10.5MP wide angle camera

10.8MP Telephoto, 5x optical zoom

Front camera: 10MP for both screens

On paper, Samsung's 200MP sensor is superior in detail, but Google has traditionally been strong in image processing software, especially with its long-range zoom capabilities that have been highly regarded for years. The Pixel has a clear advantage at 5x zoom, which captures details from afar with less distortion.

Samsung and Google are evenly matched

The competition between the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold reflects two different philosophies. Samsung prioritizes a thin and light design, high-resolution cameras, and powerful Snapdragon chips, while Google focuses on AI, large battery capacity, high RAM, and brighter displays.

Users who prefer a compact design, optimized grip experience and super detailed camera can choose the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Meanwhile, those who value battery life, long zoom and AI utilities, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is a more attractive choice with a price tag of $200 cheaper.
