The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold offers incremental improvements over last year's model but comes with an extra $100. The standout features are water and dust resistance, and faster magnetic charging.

While software remains a highlight, the 'Pro' title is less convincing given its price compared to non-pro alternatives. With Samsung’s new contender and an iPhone foldable on the horizon, this might not be enough to make it a must-have.

The phone looks similar but has been slimmed down slightly. However, it still feels heavier than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 variants and Honor’s Magic V6. The camera module is more compact, and the matte glass back feels pleasant to hold.

Water resistance is impressively rated IP68, compared to Samsung’s less robust IP48. Yet, with a pricier tag, Google must deliver on its promise of elevating devices beyond mere specs to truly stand out in this crowded market.
