This year, it made its phones thinner and lighter again, almost eliminated the crease, and introduced a new passport-sized form factor that feels like the future. Next month, Apple is expected to enter the market with a foldable iPhone that, rumor has it, includes all of the above and adds iOS too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">In the face of all that flux, Google\u2019s Pixel 11 Pro Fold has hardly changed a thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Like the other Pixel 11 phones, this is an iterative hardware upgrade, but unlike the others its design feels dated already. It\u2019s a little thinner and lighter than last year\u2019s phone, the main camera is a bit better, the screens a touch brighter.

Unlike on the other Pixel 11 models, that\u2019s not masking a storage bump: This has the same 256GB starting storage as last year\u2019s model. You can pay an extra $120 to get 512GB storage, and a further $230 to get 1TB. Every version comes with 16GB of RAM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">That $100 hike gets you a handful of hardware improvements on last year\u2019s phone. The chipset has been upgraded to the new Tensor G6; both OLED displays run a bit brighter, now peaking at 3,600 nits; the 48-megapixel main camera uses a larger image sensor; and the Qi2 magnetic wireless charging now runs at 25W, up from 15W.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">That\u2019s just about it in terms of actual performance upgrades. There have been slightly bigger changes to the design though. This year\u2019s phone is 0.7mm thinner when closed and weighs 19g less. That doesn\u2019t sound like a whole lot, but holding the two generations side by side you can easily tell the difference, and the 11 Pro Fold is more comfortable to use for extended periods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Still, it might be too little. Last year, Samsung slimmed its Z Fold 7 down dramatically, and pushed that even further this year, echoing similarly slim designs from Chinese rivals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/901846\/oppo-find-n6-review-crease-screen-specs-price\">Oppo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/948919\/honor-magic-v6-foldable-review\">Honor<\/a>. Google\u2019s foldable still feels big and bulky by comparison, like hardware that\u2019s a generation behind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The same is true of the display\u2019s crease, which is pretty obvious even head-on, and easily noticeable when swiping from side to side. Oppo and Samsung have both worked miracles to make their creases almost invisible unless the light\u2019s just right, and it feels like Google has a lot of catching up to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac3 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\":Rcsbcprar96:\" class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-three-up-bottom _1044qizj\">\n<div class=\"_1pegheu6\">\n<div class=\"_1pegheu7\">\n<div class>\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0 _1044qizx\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-08.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.011361054305837,100,99.977277891388\" data-pswp-height=\"1466.6666666666667\" data-pswp-width=\"2200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-08.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.011361054305837%2C100%2C99.977277891388&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>If you want a foldable that\u2019s shaped like a regular phone when closed, this still fits the bill.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1pegheu9\">\n<div class>\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0 _1044qizx\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-09.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.011361054305837,100,99.977277891388\" data-pswp-height=\"1466.6666666666667\" data-pswp-width=\"2200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-09.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.011361054305837%2C100%2C99.977277891388&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>Android 17\u2019s Bubbles really come into their own on a foldable.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1whpyvg0\">\n<div class>\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0 _1044qizx\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,5.7165861513688,100,88.566827697262\" data-pswp-height=\"1466.6666666666665\" data-pswp-width=\"2200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C5.7165861513688%2C100%2C88.566827697262&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>The square inner screen made me miss the Galaxy Z Fold 8.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The almost square main display is well-suited to multitasking, helped by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/950651\/android-17-release-pixel-drop-google-bubble-screen-reaction\">Bubbles<\/a>, a new Android 17 feature that\u2019s available on every Pixel but comes into its own on the foldables. Multiple apps can be opened in floating bubbles, allowing quick access to a smaller window that can be minimized just as easily. On the 11 Pro Fold\u2019s larger display, those bubbles can float perpetually in a dedicated dock in the bottom-right corner for unobtrusive access. It\u2019s ideal for hopping into Spotify to skip a song, diving into Todoist to tick off a task, or pulling up WhatsApp to reply to a message, all before getting back to whatever you were working on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">But in the wake of Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 8, this square screen feels a little behind the times. The industry seems to agree: Huawei has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/914807\/huawei-pura-x-max-launch-price-specs-availability\">adopted the same design<\/a>, Apple is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/907856\/iphone-fold-dummy-design-delay-production\">expected to<\/a>, and both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/honor_wide_foldables_key_specifications_leak-news-73600.php\">Honor<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/oppos_widescreen_phone_tipped_to_feature_a_200mp_camera-news-74241.php\">Oppo<\/a> are rumored to have wide foldables in the works. I enjoyed Samsung\u2019s passport-sized form factor for its pocketability and natural feel when reading or watching TV and miss it while using this. By contrast, the 11 Pro Fold is tall when closed, and boxy when open. I do find it more comfortable than the unnaturally skinny Z Fold 8 Ultra though, and anyone split between Samsung\u2019s two shapes may find this a happy medium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac3 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\":Rd2bcprar96:\" class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-two-up _1044qizj\">\n<div class=\"_1pegheu5\">\n<div class=\"_1pegheu8 _1pegheu7\">\n<div class>\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0 _1044qizx\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-10.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.011361054305837,100,99.977277891388\" data-pswp-height=\"1466.6666666666667\" data-pswp-width=\"2200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-10.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.011361054305837%2C100%2C99.977277891388&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>Google says this new composite back material is much more durable than before.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1pegheua _1pegheu9\">\n<div class>\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0 _1044qizx\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-05.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.011361054305837,100,99.977277891388\" data-pswp-height=\"1466.6666666666667\" data-pswp-width=\"2200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-05.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.011361054305837%2C100%2C99.977277891388&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>The 11 Pro Fold is Google\u2019s thinnest foldable yet, but comfortably thicker than the competition.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Still, the 11 Pro Fold has its own advantages. Unlike those phones, it has an IP68 rating for dust- and water-resistance, following the similar score on the 10 Pro Fold. For a phone that can cost upwards of $2,000, that extra level of protection is worth more than mere peace of mind. Google also boasts that the new glass fiber composite back is three times more durable and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/devices\/pixel\/pixel-11-pro-fold\/\">nearly impossible to crack<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Google\u2019s foldables remain the only ones to support Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, here upgraded to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/712415\/qi2-25w-wireless-charging-major-android-smartphones-wpc\">faster 25W speeds<\/a>. The necessary magnets are part of why the phone is thicker than rivals, a tradeoff which will make sense for some.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">This may have Qi2, but it doesn\u2019t have a silicon-carbon battery, unlike Samsung\u2019s new foldables. As a result, in slimming the phone, Google also shrunk the battery. The 4,806mAh capacity is only a little smaller than the 10 Pro Fold\u2019s 5,015mAh though, and battery life itself has been fine, routinely lasting until the end of the day with a little bit to spare. This is still an all-day phone, it just isn\u2019t especially close to being a two-day one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac3 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div id=\":Rdabcprar96:\" class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-two-up _1044qizj\">\n<div class=\"_1pegheu5\">\n<div class=\"_1pegheu8 _1pegheu7\">\n<div class>\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0 _1044qizx\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-04.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.011361054305837,100,99.977277891388\" data-pswp-height=\"1466.6666666666667\" data-pswp-width=\"2200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-04.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.011361054305837%2C100%2C99.977277891388&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>This is HiLight \u2014 you won\u2019t see it trigger very often I\u2019m afraid.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1pegheua _1pegheu9\">\n<div class>\n<div class>\n<div style=\"background-image:none\" class=\"duet--media--content-warning _1k8kvzd0\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-gallery-image _1pegheu0 _1044qizx\"><a class=\"_1pegheu1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-07.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.011361054305837,100,99.977277891388\" data-pswp-height=\"1466.6666666666667\" data-pswp-width=\"2200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"i7ks070\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/google-pixel-11-pro-fold-07.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.011361054305837%2C100%2C99.977277891388&amp;w=2400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--media--caption _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmba\"><em>You get the same five color options for every contact, and that\u2019s it.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The biggest design tweak is HiLight, Google\u2019s attempt to reinvent the notification light by repurposing the camera flash into a multicolor LED. As a long-term notification light stan, I was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/977844\/made-by-google-pixel-11-launch-power-users-notification-led\">excited to see Google resurrect it<\/a>, but if this shambling corpse is the result, it should have stayed dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">HiLight is currently only used for two things: a multicolor glow when you talk to Gemini, and a monocolor glow when one of your favorite contacts calls. Neither works unless the phone is lying flat and face-down with the screen off, and customization is limited to a measly pool of five colors for call alerts. Support for message notifications is coming later, Google says, with no word on whether it will ever be usable for notifications at large, serve as a charging indicator, or offer deeper customizability. If HiLight was going to be this basic, why did Google even bother?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">More worthwhile is the single camera upgrade. The new 48-megapixel main camera sensor is the same as on the regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/982190\/google-pixel-11-review\">Pixel 11<\/a>, and the two phones share matching 5x telephoto lenses too, with similar (though not <em>identical<\/em>) ultrawide and selfie cameras. Broadly speaking, the 11 Pro Fold camera is about the same as the 11\u2019s and \u2014 on paper, at least \u2014 a step down from the <a

more, in both dynamic range and detail). The main sensor is big enough to deliver solid results even in dim lighting, helped by Google\u2019s typically capable processing. The 5x telephoto is crisp at a distance, though fuzzy when pushed anywhere near its 30x maximum. Google hasn\u2019t confirmed the telephoto\u2019s minimum focus distance, but it feels like a few feet or so. Combined with the smallish sensor, which doesn\u2019t deliver the natural bokeh of larger periscope sensors, this isn\u2019t a great lens for closeups; instead the inferior ultrawide camera handles macro photography here. Still, with Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 8 dropping the telephoto entirely, having any third lens here \u2014 and a pretty good one, at that \u2014 is now a big boon for the Pixel foldable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Google has bolstered the camera app with a whole suite of software upgrades, which might matter more than the hardware changes. I won\u2019t go into them in too much detail here, since my colleague David Imel does a great job of exactly that in his Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL review, but I\u2019ll give you the gist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">New Camera Looks are the biggest tweak, similar to the Film Simulations popularized on Fujifilm cameras. There are four default looks, which subtly change the style of an image, and another six with more dramatic effects, and each can be further tweaked with direct control over contrast, vibrance, sharpness, and more. These aren\u2019t simply post hoc filters \u2014 they change processing at the moment of capture, and so have a tangible effect on the information the camera captures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div

I wrote in my review that Samsung\u2019s wider Z Fold 8 feels like the future of foldables; by extension, this might be the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _18mzr4ba _19wv7tc1\">The 11 Pro Fold is far from obsolete though. This is still, for now at least, this year\u2019s only foldable with an IP68 rating and magnetic charging. Including a triple rear camera at the same price Samsung offers a double is a major selling point, and the suite of software updates \u2014 especially Camera Looks and Bubbles \u2014 might draw me back to this phone over either recent Galaxy. Whether they\u2019re enough to compete with whatever Apple is about to offer is another question entirely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><em>Photography by Dominic Preston \/ The Verge<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac1 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--highlight _1044qizj _1upt4f20\">\n<div class=\"_1upt4f21\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"agree-to-continue-google-pixel-11-pro-fold\" class=\"_1gfm6td1 _1gfm6td0 _1upt4f23 duet--article--standard-heading _19wv7tc1\">\n<h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\">Agree to Continue: Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1upt4f24\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><em>Every smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it \u2014 contracts that no one actually reads.
