Verdict: Pixel 9 Pro Fold ahead on 2 rows, Pixel 10 on 1 row
On the makers’ published figures, the Pixel 10 wins on weight (204 g against 257 g); the Pixel 9 Pro Fold wins on display size (8 in against 6.3 in) and storage (base) (256 GB against 128 GB). 2 gaps are borderline, differences most people would not notice: peak brightness (3,000 nits against 2,700 nits) for the Pixel 10 and HDR peak brightness (2,000 nits against 1,600 nits) for the Pixel 10. The differences in RAM and battery capacity are below the thresholds you would notice. Both state the same refresh rate. The other 38 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.
