- 4,806mAh and 30W wired charging are modest for an 8-inch inner panel
- Only two colors (Obsidian, Olive); inner display is still plastic
- 239g folded is heavier than Fold8 (201g)
- iPhone Duo arrives 23 October if you want Apple's foldable instead
Android Hire Verdict — The Google foldable to buy this year
Pixel 11 Pro Fold is the US book foldable to pick if you want Google's cameras and IP68 without paying Fold8 Ultra money. Tensor G6 will not hang with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and 30W charging is slow at this price. What you get is an 8-inch inner, a 6.5-inch cover, a real 5x telephoto, 16GB of RAM, and seven years of Android. That is a better brief than last year's Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which this replaces.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold in depth
Pixel 11 Pro Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold8 vs Fold8 Ultra
Fold8 is $1,899.99, Snapdragon-fast, 201g, and 4.5mm unfolded — but it dropped the telephoto and is IPX8, not IP68. Fold8 Ultra is $2,099.99 with a 200MP main, 8-inch inner, 4.1mm unfolded, and IP48. Pixel 11 Pro Fold matches Fold8's starting price, keeps a 5x camera, and is the only one of the three with IP68.
Pick Pixel if photography and dust/water rating matter. Pick Fold8 if you want the lightest, fastest Android foldable today. Pick Fold8 Ultra if you want the 200MP camera and will pay $200 more.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold FAQ
How much is the Pixel 11 Pro Fold in the US?
It starts at $1,899 for 256GB / 16GB RAM. 512GB and 1TB configurations sit above that, all with 16GB RAM. Colors are Obsidian and Olive. Pre-orders opened 12 August 2026; it went on sale 20 August.
Pixel 11 Pro Fold vs Pixel 10 Pro Fold?
Tensor G6 instead of G5, a 6.5-inch cover instead of 6.4 inches, 5.0mm unfolded instead of thicker, Qi2.2 25W instead of 15W Qi2, and a $100 price rise to $1,899. Inner size stays 8 inches. If you already own a 10 Pro Fold, wait; if you are buying a Google foldable new, this is the one.

Yes. 10.8MP, f/3.1, 5x optical with OIS and Super Zoom up to 30x. That is the camera Fold8 removed this year.
