Google unveils latest Pixel phones, including foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Google (GOOG, GOOGL) announced its latest line of Pixel smartphones on Wednesday as part of its Made By Google event in New York City on Wednesday.

The Pixel 10 lineup includes four phones: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The company also showed off its newest smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 4.

The devices get Google’s latest Gemini AI capabilities, including the company’s new Magic Cue for its smartphones and enhanced smart replies for the watch.

Starting at $799, the entry-level Pixel 10 now comes with three rear cameras, up from two. That includes a 5x telephoto camera. Inside, the 6.3-inch phone gets Google’s latest Tensor G5 processor, 12GB of RAM, and upwards of 256GB of storage.

The Pixel 10 Pro starts at $999 and gets a sharper 6.3-inch display and more-advanced triple-camera setup. And while the phone packs the same Tensor G5 processor as the standard Pixel 10, the Pro sports 16GB of RAM rather than 12GB and offers up to 512GB of storage.

Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL gets virtually the same specs as the Pixel 10 XL, save for its larger 6.8-inch display and slightly larger battery, though all three phones promise more than 30 hours of battery life.

Then there’s the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google’s latest book-like foldable phone, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold gets a larger 6.4-inch front display thanks to its smaller bezels and a more durable design. The company says the Pro Fold is also now water- and dust-resistant, thanks to a redesigned hinge mechanism that makes the phone more durable.

Open the Fold and you’ll find its massive 8-inch display for streaming content, playing games, and working, if you’re so inclined.

The Pro Fold is going up against Samsung’s redesigned Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is thinner and lighter than Google’s offering. But Google beats Samsung on pricing. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold costs $1,799, while the Z Fold 7 is $1,999. To be fair, neither phone is cheap.

Google’s new Magic Cue software can recognize the context of your conversations in Google’s texting app or understand when you’re looking up the weather for an upcoming trip and provide helpful data from other apps.

Say your friend texts you to ask when your dinner reservations are. Magic Cue will pull the information from your Gmail and serve it up in a suggested reply. If you call your airline to ask about your upcoming flight, Magic Cue will display your travel information on screen so that you don’t have to search through different apps to locate it.

The Weather app can also provide personalized weather updates based on what Magic Cue sees in your Calendar. If you save an upcoming trip to Yellowstone in your Calendar app and check the Weather app, it will tell you if it will rain during your trip and provide tips like how to keep your electronics dry and more.
