Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs Google Pixel 8a
Our Verdict: The Pixel 8a and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold are two years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The 8a has the better camera on paper, 64MP versus 50MP, and there's more battery in the 10 Pro Fold, 5015mAh to 4492mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The 10 Pro Fold has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.3" against 6.1" and sharper at 497 PPI, and the 10 Pro Fold offers up to 1TB of storage versus 256GB on the 8a. If you're on the 8a, the 10 Pro Fold is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
Buying outright, the 8a starts at £195 SIM-free.
