The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a solid upgrade over the disappointing Pixel 10 Pro Fold, improving cameras, processing speed, display brightness, and refresh rate. It introduces great new Gemini features like Magic Capture. While thinner and lighter than last year, Tensor still struggles to keep up with the competition, and battery life remains disappointing.

The flat sides make opening difficult, and poor PWM dimming renders the phone unsuitable for flicker-sensitive users. Google retained 16GB of RAM and the same storage capacity, offering better overall specs beyond just a faster processor. The price increase is less offensive than other Pixel 11 Pro models.

The device includes Pixel Satellite SOS, Pixel VPN, and Pixelsnap Qi2/MagSafe magnets. It is the best multitasking foldable in the Pixel family, featuring a pinnable taskbar and 90:10 split. Both displays are now LTPO OLEDs with 3600 nit brightness.

Features like Made You Look and Live Translate for Video are included. Despite improvements, increased competition makes this a harder decision than ever.
