Google Pixel 10 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7

Our Verdict: Hardware priorities split the decision here, with the Google Pixel 10 strongest for the larger 4970mAh battery, with the usual caveat that capacity is not the whole battery-life story and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 stronger for the larger 6.9" screen versus 6.3", up to 512GB storage, the lighter 187g body versus 204g. The Google Pixel 10 is currently cheaper on the lowest total contract cost at about £410, roughly £165 less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7. Review scores are close, averaging 4.2 for the Google Pixel 10 and 4.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7. That makes the Google Pixel 10 the value-led pick, unless the larger 6.9" screen versus 6.3" on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is worth paying extra for.

Over a full contract, the Pixel 10 works out around £399 all-in, about £487 less than the Galaxy Z Flip7.
