Google’s next Pixel Fold might be completely dust-proof

Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be the first dust-proof foldable. 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 7 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.

A previous leak from Android Headlines revealed that the new foldable could have the same 8-inch inner display size as its predecessor, and may still be thicker than the ultra-slim Galaxy Z Fold 7. This latest Android Headlines report also includes details about the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s camera setup, which is rumored to stay the same, featuring a 48-megapixel primary camera, a 10.5MP ultrawide lens, a 10.8MP telephoto camera, and two 10MP selfie cameras.

Google hasn’t yet announced an official date for its next Pixel event, but rumors suggest it could take the wraps off its full Pixel 10 lineup on August 20th, 2025.
