Sure, they both run Android, but the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 7 are fairly divergent from there. Physical form factor, in particular, is one area to watch this year. Without wasting any more time, let's jump in and do some comparing. Both phones are expensive, but what do you actually get for the money?

And now that you can get one for $1,700, that question just got a lot easier to answer. It's still pricey—you can get Samsung's non-folding flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, for around $1,300—but it might be just affordable enough now to be worth the splurge, depending on how much you like big screens.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold holds the highest water and dust protection on a foldable phone, but the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the king of folding.
