Verdict: Pixel 10 Pro Fold ahead on 2 rows, Galaxy S25 Ultra on 2 rows

On the makers’ figures and the named third-party sources, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold wins on display size (8 in against 6.9 in) and peak brightness (3,000 nits from the maker against 2,600 nits from GSMArena); the Galaxy S25 Ultra wins on weight (218 g against 258 g) and battery lifespan (2,000 cycles against 1,000 cycles). 2 gaps are borderline, differences most people would not notice: battery per charge (47.92 h against 44.9 h) for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and fast charging (45 W against 30 W) for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The differences in RAM and battery capacity are below the thresholds you would notice. Both state the same refresh rate, storage (base) and wireless charging. The other 37 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

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.
