Verdict: Galaxy Z Fold8 ahead on 1 row, Pixel 10 Pro Fold on none
On the makers’ published figures, the Galaxy Z Fold8 wins on weight (201 g against 258 g). 3 gaps are borderline, differences most people would not notice: display size (8 in against 7.6 in) for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, battery lifespan (1,200 cycles against 1,000 cycles) for the Galaxy Z Fold8 and fast charging (45 W against 30 W) for the Galaxy Z Fold8. The differences in RAM, battery capacity and battery per charge are below the thresholds you would notice. Both state the same refresh rate, peak brightness and storage (base). The other 34 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
