Google’s first foldable of the year just showed up on a benchmark listing, which looks strong. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, expected to launch alongside the Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025, has popped up on Geekbench, and the scores suggest it’s going to be much faster than last year’s foldable.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s Power
Thanks to its listing on Geekbench, we now know a few key details about Google’s next foldable phone. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold runs on a new chip labeled Tensor G5 and uses a unique CPU setup:
- Octa-core processor with a 2+5+1 configuration
- Core speeds: 2.25GHz (2 cores), 3.05GHz (5 cores), and 3.78GHz (1 core)
It also comes with 16GB of RAM, which should help with smooth multitasking and faster performance overall. The unit tested was running Android 16, which is expected to debut alongside the new Pixel devices.
Benchmark Scores: How Fast Is It?
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold scored:
- 2,276 in Geekbench single-core
- 6,173 in multi-core
For comparison, last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold with the older Tensor G4 chip scored about 1,981 and 4,783 in those same tests. That’s a solid bump—more speed, better app loading, and smoother animations.
While it’s not quite as fast as phones powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite, keep in mind: these benchmark results are from early software. Final retail units should run even better with system tuning.
What Else Is Google Launching?
Google is likely to unveil the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL on the same day as the Fold. All of them are expected to run the same Tensor G5 chip, and they’ll be packed with premium features.
Pixel 10 Pro vs Pro XL Specs (Expected)
| Feature | Pixel 10 Pro | Pixel 10 Pro XL |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Tensor G5 | Tensor G5 |
| Display | 6.3” LTPO OLED, 120Hz, 2,856×1,080p | 6.8” LTPO OLED, 120Hz, 2,992×1,344p |
| Brightness | 3,000 nits peak | 3,000 nits peak |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB |
| Storage | 128GB–1TB | 256GB–1TB |
| Rear Cameras | 50MP + 48MP ultrawide + 48MP telephoto | Same |
| Selfie Camera | 42MP | 42MP |
| Battery | 4,870 mAh with 29W wired, Qi2 wireless | 5,200 mAh with 39W wired, Qi2 wireless |
That’s flagship territory across the board, and that is especially with cameras that support macro photography on both ultrawide and telephoto lenses.
Why the Pixel 10 Pro Fold Might Be Worth the Wait
If Google pulls off the software experience and battery life, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be one of the most well-rounded foldables of 2025. It’s not just faster than last year’s model but it’s looking up to be smarter and more efficient too.
Plus, with Android 16 launching alongside it, users can expect better multitasking features, improved app scaling on foldable screens, and stronger security, what’s all the things that matter for a phone at this level.
