Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be the first dust-proof foldable mobile phone.
A new leak published by Android Headlines says the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may come with an IP68 rating, which would make it completely dust-tight and allow it to withstand continuous submersion in water.
To compare, Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Motorola Razer Ultra have an IP48 rating, which means the phones offer similar protection against submersion in water, but aren’t completely dust-proof.
Instead, they’re only capable of sealing out objects 1mm and larger.
Additionally, Android Headlines reports that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could have a smaller gap between the cover display and the hinge, resulting in a slightly larger 6.4-inch outer screen when compared to 6.3 inches on last year’s model.
The cover screen could also come with an upgraded 3,000 nits of peak brightness.

Along with Google’s 3nm Tensor G5 processor and 16GB of RAM, Android Headlines says the Pixel 10 Pro Fold might have a new 1TB storage option, in addition to the 256GB and 512GB variants.
Google is also rumored to include a seven percent larger battery in its new foldable when compared to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, but other than that, it seems like things may largely stay the same.
It does look like Google may have shrunk the gap between the screen and the device’s hinge on the left side of the display, which would be a plus.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will also likely come equipped with an upgraded Tensor G5 processor. Sources tell Android Headlines that the device could have a lower price compared to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which starts at $1,799.
Google might not be making any big changes to the standard Pixel 10, either, as another set of renders, OnLeaks shared with Android Headlines, a hint at a device with almost the same design but with a third rear camera.
