Big screen folder with slick software and advanced AI is just like a regular Android when closed.

G oogle’s latest folding phone sticks with its tried and tested design of a traditional phone shape when closed and almost square when open, in the face of new competition from Apple’s squat iPhone fold.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is Google’s fourth-generation folder and is still one of the only models with a full water and dust resistance rating similar to standard slab phones.

The 11 Pro Fold looks identical to previous models, but it is 19g lighter and fractionally slimmer in all directions with a larger outside screen. Unlike Samsung’s slender Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra or squat models such as Apple’s iPhone Duo or the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Pixel has the same ratio screen as Google’s slab phones and so handles precisely like them when shut with a bright and smooth 6.5in display.

The back of the phone hides the Qi2 magnetic charging and accessory support from last year, while Google’s gimmicky HiLight notification LED, as seen on the other Pro Pixels, replaces the camera’s flash.

The 11 Pro Fold has the same Tensor G6 chip from the other Pixel 11 models with 16GB of memory remaining snappy and responsive with multiple apps on screen.

The 11 Pro Fold will be supported until August 2033 with operating system and security updates.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold contains 24% recycled materials by weight.

The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold costs from £1,799.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is The Guardian Australia (Technology)'s report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
