Pixel 10 Pro Fold Scores Leak, Falls Behind Samsung Z Fold 7

Google's upcoming foldable device, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, is set to launch in August 2025. As anticipation builds, the device has surfaced on Geekbench, revealing key performance metrics powered by Google’s custom-built Tensor G5 chipset. Built on TSMC's 3nm process, the chip promises efficiency and speed. However, early benchmark results show it trailing behind Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, which recently launched with the high-performing Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite chip.

According to the Geekbench listing, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold registered 2,276 points in single-core and 6,173 in multi-core tests. In contrast, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 scored 2,617 and 9,369 in single-core and multi-core respectively. The substantial gap, particularly in multi-core results, raises concerns for power users who rely on robust multitasking capabilities.

While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold maintains a form factor similar to its predecessor, upgrades include a revised hinge and improved internal build. The device is rumored to feature a 6.4-inch cover screen and an 8-inch foldable main display. A triple-lens rear camera setup is also expected, likely comprising a 50MP primary sensor, 10.5MP ultrawide, and 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom. Battery capacity is tipped to be 4,650mAh.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold's Geekbench performance is a marked improvement over the Pixel 9 Fold, suggesting progress. However, when placed against the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Google's foldable appears to lag in raw processing power. Buyers focusing on speed, gaming, or heavy multitasking may lean toward Samsung. For others, Google's software integration, camera optimization, and battery efficiency may still offer a compelling package.
