The camera specifications for the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold have recently surfaced, revealing that they will largely mirror those of its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Although the primary camera will feature a new sensor, expectations suggest that its performance will remain quite similar to last year’s model. A recent report highlights that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will utilize the Samsung GN8 as its main camera, a 50-megapixel sensor with dimensions of 1/1.95 inches. There is speculation that this sensor may be cropped, following the pattern established by the main camera of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Meanwhile, the other cameras will retain the existing configurations, with the Samsung 3J1 sensor used for ultrawide and telephoto capabilities, and the Samsung 3K1 for the selfie cameras on both displays. One of my main criticisms of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold revolves around its camera quality. Given the high price point, one would expect a more advanced telephoto lens than the 11-megapixel option currently available. Interestingly, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is projected to be priced lower than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which may soften the blow for consumers.

However, it’s concerning that these sensors are still present in flagship devices as we move into 2025. Moreover, Google is rumored to be integrating a custom Image Signal Processor (ISP) within the Tensor G5 chip. This could mark a significant step towards a fully tailored processor for Pixel devices. Given Google’s extensive experience in photography from the inception of the Pixel line, expectations are high.

However, there is also the possibility of encountering issues similar to those faced by the Pixel 6 series, which launched with the original Tensor chipset. Any bugs or performance issues would be concerning, particularly since the Tensor G5 is being manufactured by TSMC this time around.
