Apple iPhone 17e vs Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Our Verdict: For buyers focused on the larger screen and the sharper display, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the more convincing choice. It backs that up with 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display, 50MP rear and 42MP front cameras and 5015mAh battery, while the iPhone 17e counters with 169g weight and 7,940 active deals. Current active deals start around £550 for the iPhone 17e, versus about £935 for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The ecosystem split matters too: the iPhone 17e is the iOS option and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the Android option. Go for the iPhone 17e if you value lower current deal pricing and a noticeably lighter body; the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the stronger pick when those trade-offs matter more.

The iPhone 17e is the cheaper one to own: around £656 over a typical contract, £545 less than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
