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.
Did the Xiaomi 17 Ultra actually launch, or is it still a rumor?
It's real and on sale: Xiaomi unveiled it globally on February 28, 2026 at MWC in Barcelona, and it has been shipping and reviewed since, with retail listings live as of mid-2026.
How long will the Xiaomi 17 Ultra be supported?
Xiaomi's 4-year OS / 6-year security update commitment for the 17 series puts end-of-support around February 2032, so a mid-2026 purchase still banks roughly 5.5 years of patches.
