The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the first foldable phone to carry an IP68 dust and water rating, matching protection levels of traditional slab phones. The IP68 rating reduces risk from everyday wear, particle intrusion, and water exposure. The device includes a remodeled, gearless hinge built from spacecraft-grade, high-strength materials, which Google advertises to endure more than 10 years of folding. The improved interior allowed space for larger components. The foldable arrives at a premium $1,799 price point and targets consumers concerned about durability and long-term mechanical reliability.
Those two digits -- especially the first one -- are really important, whether you're a frequent beach goer or often find a pile of dust and debris when you pull your phone out of your pocket. An IP68 rating represents the device's Ingress Protection code, a compliance standard for how well it can resist water and dust. While foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 have long offered water resistance (IPX8),
An IP68 rating also puts the Pixel 10 Pro Fold in the same protection level as traditional slab phones -- it's quite the feat considering how difficult it is to design a device with moving parts that also withstand dust and debris. Google says the Pixel 10 Pro Fold features a remodeled hinge, with a gearless, high-strength beam system made from spacecraft-grade materials. You're looking at a foldable phone that's advertised to withstand more than 10 years of folding.
