How long is the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold battery life?

What you need to know about the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold battery life

As is the case with most phones, the actual length of time that your phone's battery will last is dependent on how you use it. So if the Pixel 10 Pro Fold resides on your desk or in a bag for most of the day, even with notifications left enabled, the phone will easily last for a day or two. On the flip side, if you have an affinity for using Google's latest foldable for everything from gaming to catching up on your favorite show, expect that number to drop pretty dramatically.

Of course, there are also other variables at play here, such as the apps that you use on a daily basis, in addition to things like whether the phone's connected to Wi-Fi all day, or if you're running beta software. However, it's also worth pointing out that no matter what you do, you'll likely experience somewhat poor battery life for the first week or two. This is because your phone is learning how you use it in order to provide tailored optimizations.

As for "real world" results, we tested the Pixel 10 Pro Fold for our review, resulting in some rather obvious findings. For one, the battery drained at a rate of about 15% per hour when using the inner display, which dropped to just below 10% per hour when only using the Cover Screen.

Extrapolating out the results of the test, we found that the 10 Pro Fold would last for "about 8 hours with only the inner display, or a little more than 11 with the cover screen." While these aren't the most impressive results, it's still quite a bit better than what you would find when comparing the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's battery life to other foldable phones.

But what about when the juice runs out, or you're getting low, and you need to recharge the Pixel 10 Pro Fold? Thankfully, Google upgraded the charging experience, as the Pixel 10 Pro Fold supports up to 39W fast wired charging. As such, Google claims the phone will gain about 50% in 30 minutes "when using a 30W USB-C charger." However, this number can be improved even further, if you use Google's 45W charger.

The good news doesn't stop there, as wireless charging has also been greatly improved on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This is thanks, at least in part, to the addition of Qi2 support, which doubles the wireless charging rate from 7.5W to 15W.
