Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Brings UFS 4.0, Faster Performance and More

Google is finally making the leap to UFS 4.0, bringing the latest flash storage standard to the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold and, most likely, other devices in the Pixel 10 lineup. Since 2021, the company had relied on the older UFS 3.1, a choice that drew criticism — especially as many mid-range smartphones had long since adopted UFS 4.0. The upgrade promises up to 46% better power efficiency, faster data transfer speeds, and a more compact form factor, all of which should translate into improved performance and longer battery life.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be offered in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB storage options, with no support for expansion. Powering the device is Google’s Tensor G5 chip paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It will feature a foldable 8-inch OLED display alongside an external 6.4-inch screen, both supporting refresh rates of up to 120 Hz. Battery duties will be handled by a 5,015 mAh cell with 30 W wired charging and Qi2 wireless charging up to 15 W.

On the camera front, the foldable will sport a 48 MP main sensor, a 10.5 MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10.8 MP telephoto lens. It will carry an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance and ship with Android 16 pre-installed. With the official reveal expected in the coming days, the shift to UFS 4.0 is set to be one of the standout changes for this generation of Pixel devices.
