Will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold have better battery life?
Probably, yes.
According to some rumors, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will come with a 7.2% increase to its battery capacity, coming in at 5,015 mAh vs the 4,650 mAh battery of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
In addition to the larger battery, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will use Google’s new Tensor G5 chip, built on TSMC’s 3nm process. This upgrade could improve power efficiency, as TSMC’s process is expected to offer better battery preservation than the Samsung-made chips used in previous Pixel models.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is also said to come with improved thermal management, which can directly contribute to improved battery life. When the phone stays cooler, it can be more efficient during demanding tasks, ultimately reducing battery drain and improving long-term endurance.
How fast will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold series charge?
Wired charging speeds for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold are expected to match the Pixel 10 Pro XL — topping out at 39W.
- Wired charging: Up to 39W
- Wireless charging: 15W (Qi standard)
While not the fastest on the market, 39W is a welcome upgrade over Google’s previous 21W wired and 7W wireless charging speeds.
Will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold have wireless charging?
Yes. The Pixel 10 Pro fold will have wireless charging, and it is even rumored to be increase from 7W to 15W.
Will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold have reverse-wireless charging?
There are no reports stating that reverse-wireless charging will come to the Pixel Pro Fold with this year’s generation.
Qi2 support and accessories
That means while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will likely be Qi2-compatible in terms of protocol and efficiency improvements, users shouldn’t expect the full MagSafe-style experience.
What charger will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold use?
Like the rest of the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold uses standard USB Power Delivery (USB PD) and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) for charging. That means it’s fully compatible with third-party chargers from trusted brands like Anker, Ugreen, and Baseus.Peak charging speeds are achieved with Google’s 45W USB-C charger (sold separately), but a quality PD/PPS charger will still get you close to maximum speeds — no need to stick with the official adapter unless you prefer it.
This open approach sets Google apart from rivals like Motorola, Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus, and Honor, which often use proprietary charging protocols that require brand-specific chargers and cables for full performance. With Google, there are no unusual voltage profiles or compatibility issues — just simple, reliable USB-C charging.
