Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Unboxing & First Impressions
After years of rumors, patents, and hushed whispers, it’s finally here. A device that has been the subject of immense speculation in the tech world has just landed in our studio: the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. We have managed to get our hands on a retail unit ahead of its official launch, and we are giving you the very first look. This is our complete Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold unboxing review, covering what’s in the box, our first impressions of the design and build, its key features, and the all-important expected price. For those who want to see it in action, a full Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold unboxing video is already in the works for our YouTube channel.
The Unboxing Experience
The unboxing experience is classic Google: clean, minimalist, and eco-friendly. The compact, white box features a simple image of the device on the front and the iconic ‘G’ logo. Sliding off the top lid reveals the Pixel 10 Pro Fold itself, nestled securely in the tray. The feeling of unfolding it for the first time is genuinely impressive, with a smooth and reassuringly firm hinge mechanism.
Underneath the device, the contents are sparse, following the industry trend:
- A USB-C to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer.
- A “Quick Switch” adapter to help you transfer data from your old phone.
- A SIM ejector tool and the standard set of regulatory paperwork, and a quick-start guide.
As expected, there is no charging brick included in the box, so you will need to purchase a 45W or higher USB-C PD charger separately to get the fastest charging speeds.
Design and First Impressions: A True Pixel Fold
Our first impression is that Google has absolutely nailed the design. The device feels incredibly premium, with a familiar matte glass back that resists fingerprints and a polished, curved aluminum frame that is comfortable to hold. The iconic Pixel camera bar is present on the back, seamlessly integrated into the design and housing a powerful triple-camera setup.
The hinge is the star of the show. It feels robust and allows the device to close completely flat with no visible gap. Unfolding it reveals a stunning, near-crease-less inner display. The outer “cover” display is perhaps the best feature; with its wider aspect ratio, it feels less like a compromised, narrow screen and more like a normal, high-end smartphone, making it perfectly usable for most daily tasks without ever needing to open the main screen.
Key Features and Specifications
Early Thoughts on Performance and Cameras
Powered by Google’s new Tensor G6 chip, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold feels incredibly fast and responsive. Setting up the device and navigating through the famously clean Pixel software is a fluid experience. Google’s AI features, such as the Recorder app’s live transcription and the Magic Eraser in Photos, feel even more instantaneous on this new hardware. The large inner screen is a multitasking dream, allowing for a seamless split-screen experience that feels genuinely productive.
We took a few quick photos, and the camera system is pure Pixel. The images are sharp, with incredible dynamic range and the true-to-life color science that Google is famous for. The addition of a 48MP 5x optical telephoto lens is a game-changer for a foldable, bringing flagship-level zoom capabilities to the form factor for the first time in a Pixel.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Unboxing: Price and Final Thoughts
This is the big question on everyone’s mind. While Google has not officially announced it, our reliable sources in the retail chain have indicated the expected Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold unboxing price. The device is expected to launch in the United States starting at:
- $1,799 for the 256GB model.
This pricing places it in direct competition with other premium foldables on the market. From our initial hands-on experience, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold feels like a serious contender. The combination of a highly polished and usable design, a truly flagship-grade camera system, and the clean, intelligent Pixel software experience creates an incredibly compelling package. Google may have taken its time to enter the foldable market, but it seems they have used that time wisely.
