Summary
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra won ZDNET's head-to-head recommendation despite costing $300 more than Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
The review said Samsung's edge comes from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, a thinner and lighter 215g design versus Google's 258g, and more versatile cameras led by a 200MP main sensor.
Google's foldable was positioned as the better value buy at $1,799, with built-in Pixel Snap magnetic accessories, Qi 2-style charging support and Pixel-exclusive software features delivered through regular Pixel Drops.
Both phones offer 8-inch inner displays, 120Hz panels and seven years of software and security updates, leaving performance, portability and accessory preferences as the main deciding factors.
