This video is a review of the
Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold (1:00), which Michael Fisher (
MrMobile) describes as the "opposite" of Samsung's foldable lineup. Fisher spent several weeks testing the device, noting both its strengths and its shortcomings compared to competitors like the
Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra.
Key Takeaways:
- Hardware & Design: While the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is comfortable to hold, Fisher finds the aesthetic design somewhat clunky compared to the Galaxy Fold 8 (1:52-2:31). He specifically notes the visible crease and the mismatch between the satin sides and glossy hinge cover.
- Durability: A significant highlight is the phone's IP68 rating, making it the only dust-tight Android foldable available in the US (3:14).
- Software & Features: The device excels in software, with Fisher praising the At a Glance widget (9:16) and the helpful multitasking features (11:10). However, the new Highlight RGB notification light (5:38) was a disappointment due to its extremely limited functionality.
- Camera: The camera system is considered "fine" but comparable to the Galaxy Fold 8 (7:31-8:20). He appreciates the new ability to choose Pixel color profiles (8:45).
- Performance: Battery life has been surprisingly solid, and the phone stays cooler than Samsung's foldables during gaming, despite its smaller battery (3:32, 11:39).
Final Verdict:
Fisher concludes that the
Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a "software play" rather than a hardware statement piece (12:28). While he loves the
Pixel software experience, he notes that users must be willing to accept clunkier hardware and a high price
