anyone here swap from p8 to p11? how's your experience like? doesnt feel much difference or better?

I moved from 10 to 11, and the improvement in the modem alone is worth the change. Coming from the 8, you would feel a material difference in terms of snappiness, and battery life.

With Pixels, the 'trick' is the change it every year so that you minimize the annual top up while still getting a new phone.

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 point.

Are we able to trade in to google store for old Pixels?

Honestly, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is not competitive at all, even with Google's software and support. And at that price point, it is a no-go.

Just the crease alone is enough to deter anyone but hardcore Pixel fans from buying it.

Google has shared some new blueprint-style wallpapers for the Pixel 11 series, and they look pretty awesome.

Shared through the Google Japan account on Twitter/X, two blueprint-style wallpapers show off the internals of Google’s new phones from the front or the back.

The front-facing view can line up directly with the frame and shows parts of the phone such as the front-facing camera, vapor chamber cooling, USB-C port, speaker, and various other components.

The rear-facing view shows the camera module, battery, and many other parts of the device. Notably, though, you have to crop this one in a bit further as, being displayed on the main screen, the buttons would end up being on the wrong side.

Either way, it’s a fun wallpaper set from Google, and not the first time the company has offered something like this. Back in 2023, some Pixel 7 Pro teardown images made for a really cool wallpaper, and Google also shared 25-year anniversary graphics that could be used as wallpapers that same year.
