Google Pixel 10 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

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 Fold 7 stronger for the larger 8" screen versus 6.3", the higher-resolution 200MP rear camera against 50MP, up to 1TB storage. The Google Pixel 10 is currently cheaper on the lowest total contract cost at about £410, roughly £540 less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Review scores are close, averaging 4.2 for the Google Pixel 10 and 4.4 for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. That makes the Google Pixel 10 the value-led pick, unless the larger 8" screen versus 6.3" on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is worth paying extra for.

Over a full contract, the Pixel 10 works out around £399 all-in, about £945 less than the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
