Google is finally going to release a foldable device into Malaysia in the form of Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Last year, our market missed out on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold as Malaysia was not part of the Pixel market when the device was in development phase.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold Specs and Features
Being a foldable, that means the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has two different screens. On the outside, there is a 6.4-inch Actua OLED display with 1080 x 2364 resolution, dynamic refresh rate range of 60 to 120Hz, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
On the inside, the 10 Pro Fold features an 8-inch Super Actua Flex OLED display with 2076 x 2152 resolution, a much wider dynamic refresh rate range of 1 to 120Hz and is covered by an Ultra Thin Glass (UTG). Google also said that the screen also features two layers of anti-impact film for additional drop protection.
Designed to meet the IP68 standard which Google said is the first for a foldable device, the 10 Pro Fold also features a new gearless hinge that was claimed to be twice as durable as its predecessor and can last over 10 years of folding. The company also said both of the 10 Pro Fold’s displays have peak brightness level of 3000 nits which provides them visibility in both indoor and outdoor.
Just like other devices within the Pixel 10 Pro family, the 10 Pro Fold is running on the equally new Google Tensor G5 processor and 16GB of RAM as well as storage options of up to 1TB. With its 5015mAh battery, Google claimed that its new foldable has a battery life of more than 24 hours and can be pushed further up to 72 hours via the Extreme Battery Saver mode.
Even though one might consider 10 Pro Fold as the bigger brother of 10 Pro XL, its maximum charging rate is much lower. Specifically, the wired charging rate for the 10 Pro Fold maxes out at 30W wired charging while its maximum wireless charging rate is 15W when used with Qi2-certified wireless chargers such as the new Google Pixelsnap chargers.
Being a Pixel device, the 10 Pro Fold has also been equipped with a variety of photography hardware. On its back is a triple camera system that features a 48MP Quad PD main camera, a 10.5MP Dual PD ultra-wide camera with Macro Focus, and a 10.8MP Dual PD telephoto camera that has 5x optical zoom capability as well as 20x Super Res Zoom feature.
For the main and telephoto cameras, they also features optical and electronic image stabilisation system. Not to forget, both the external and internal screen has their own 10MP Dual PD cameras.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold Pricing for Malaysia
At the moment, Google has only revealed the starting price for Pixel 10 Pro Fold in Malaysia which is RM7,999 – likely for the 256GB variant. According to Google Store Malaysia, the device will be made available only in Moonstone colourway once it hits our shores in early October.
