But the Pixel experience isn't something that exclusive to the Pro Fold and with not one but two upgraded sensors and 120x Super Res Zoom, the regular Pixel 11 Pros are better picks for discerning photogs. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a solid foldable phone, but I find that every time I pick it up, I often feel like I'd rather be holding one of its competitors.
Google's new Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a marked improvement over its predecessor thanks to some serious slimming down, but you should probably still go for a Z Fold 8 Ultra instead, if you can. On the other hand, Google does have the edge on camera quality.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold has its charms. It looks lovely, has great software features, and there are meaningful improvements to the cameras. Overall, though, it just feels extremely last-gen. It’s slower than the competition, thicker, has a bigger crease, and a smaller battery. When it costs the same, or more, than its rivals, it’s hard to see the appeal unless you are a die-hard Pixel fan.
Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a great foldable, with IP68 and a reliable triple camera, trapped in a shape everyone else seems to be moving on from.
The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold brings neat AI features and a durable design that makes it more resilient, but its trailing Tensor G6 performance, negligible battery gains, and persistent app scaling quirks make it an underwhelming upgrade. For a top-tier foldable carrying a flagship price tag, it feels like an overly safe refresh that struggles to move the needle against stronger rivals.
