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.
What makes the Mate XT unique?
It was the first widely sold tri-fold smartphone, folding in three sections to open into a 10.2-inch tablet-sized OLED display while collapsing to a phone-sized device.
Does the Mate XT have Google services?
No. Like all current Huawei phones, it runs HarmonyOS with the Huawei AppGallery and no Google Mobile Services, so Google apps and the Play Store are not preinstalled.
