Frequently asked
How long will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold get updates?
Google guarantees 7 years of OS and security updates from its October 2025 launch, meaning support runs through about October 2032.
Is the Pixel 10 Pro Fold water resistant?
Yes. It is the first foldable to earn an IP68 rating, thanks to a redesigned gearless hinge that resists dust and water.
When does the Huawei Mate X7 stop getting updates?
Huawei gives no fixed update pledge for its HarmonyOS foldables. Going by its treatment of past Mate X devices, we estimate around 3 HarmonyOS updates and roughly 4 years of security patches from the November 2025 release, so into about 2029. That is an estimate, not a guarantee, and depends on Huawei's ongoing HarmonyOS roadmap.
Does the Mate X7 run Google apps?
No. It ships with HarmonyOS 6 and Huawei Mobile Services and has no Google Play Store or Google apps. You get apps through Huawei AppGallery or by sideloading, but Google-dependent services are not officially available, an important limitation for a phone at this price.
