Google’s foldable strategy is broken, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold proves it

Google has launched its new Pixel 11 series, which includes a foldable option called the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. According to Android Authority, the reviewer was interested in learning more about this phone, having used Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold was announced in August 2026 alongside other Pixel 11 models, as reported by TechRadar. This phone stands out as the only foldable option in the Pixel 11 lineup. TechRadar's editor-at-large considered it the best folding Pixel yet, although it didn't match up to Samsung's top models.

The Pixel 11 series offers quality of life improvements, including new camera processing options, as noted by 9to5Mac. One of these options is called Camera Looks, which allows users to make adjustments to how the camera captures a photo. Google provides default preset options and allows for granular adjustments to these presets.
