Google's Pixel 11 Pro Fold Falls Short in the Foldable Market
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is Google's latest attempt to dominate the foldable market. Despite its best efforts, it barely keeps up with the competition.
The phone's design has seen some refinements, including a significant reduction in thickness to 10.1mm when closed, making it Google's thinnest foldable yet. However, this comes at the cost of an uneven profile and a slight ridge that can be felt when opened.
One area where Google excels is durability. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold boasts an IP68 dust/water resistance rating, a feature that will only prove its value over time. Additionally, the phone's hinge has been improved, making it smooth and snappy to use.
The ceramic outer display covering and glass fiber composite backing have also received praise for their durability. However, there are still some glaring structural flaws in this design, which may not be immediately apparent but could cause issues down the line.
