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?

Galaxy Z Fold7 is the first Samsung handset this year to get almost universal praise from critics and it is currently the best folding phone you can buy. It has been my favourite smartphone to use and test in 2025 so far.

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.
