  "summary": "Google is reportedly working on a double-tap-to-lock feature for its Pixel phones. According to Android Authority, newly updated strings in Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 suggest that the feature will have dedicated settings for enabling or disabling the gesture. This feature would allow users to turn off their phone's screen without reaching for the power button.\n\nIn other news, Google has a new foldable phone, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which is said to be a more practical device, especially for buyers in the US, according to Digital Trends. The phone is thinner and lighter compared to its predecessor, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.\n\nThere was no further information in the provided reports about the release date or availability of either the double-tap-to-lock feature or the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.",
