Early Renders Suggest Minimal Changes from Pixel 9 Pro Fold; SIM Slot Relocated, Lower Price Rumored
Google’s foldable ambitions continue to take shape in 2025 with the first CAD-based renders of the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold surfacing online. Shared by OnLeaks in collaboration with Android Headlines, the visuals suggest that the device won’t see any radical design shifts from its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Nearly Identical to Pixel 9 Pro Fold
At first glance, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold appears almost identical to last year’s foldable. The outer and inner displays retain the same form factor, and the camera bar on the back looks untouched. However, a key change is the relocation of the SIM card slot to the top edge, a move consistent with the upcoming Pixel 10 and Pixel 9a models.
Interestingly, the renders show two symmetrical cutouts along the left (open) edge, mirroring the power button/fingerprint scanner and volume rocker on the right. While these are unlikely to be functional buttons, they may serve a purpose related to antenna design or signal optimization, given that the top edge lacks any noticeable cutout.
No Word on Dimensions or Display Upgrades Yet
Unlike previous Pixel leaks that usually include exact device dimensions, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s physical specs remain under wraps. This leaves questions around thinness, weight, and possible display enhancements unanswered for now. It remains to be seen whether Google will join competitors like Samsung and Honor in the race to deliver ultra-slim foldables in 2025.
Lower Price Expected, Details Still Scarce
Perhaps the most promising piece of information is a rumored price drop. According to sources cited by Android Headlines, Google is planning to offer the Pixel 10 Pro Fold at a slightly lower price point than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. While no specific numbers have been confirmed, the move could help make foldable phones more accessible to premium smartphone buyers.
What to Expect from Pixel 10 Pro Fold
Though largely iterative, here’s what we know — or expect — from the Pixel 10 Pro Fold:
-
Refined hardware with minor design changes
-
Top-mounted SIM tray
-
USB-C port retained on the bottom edge
-
Potential improvements in display, software, or hinge durability
-
Pixel-exclusive AI features with Android 15 integration
-
Possibly more competitive pricing for foldable market share expansion
Launch Timeline
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series later in 2025, with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold likely debuting alongside the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro. More detailed leaks, including dimensions, performance specs, and display upgrades, are anticipated in the coming months.
