    CNETHands-on review · 2026

    Sleeker and lighter than before and durable, with useful AI updates, though cameras and battery trail the other Pixel 11 Pro phones and the price rose.

    TechRadarHands-on review · 2026

    The best Pixel foldable so far, with solid performance, battery and software, but refinements that stop short of perfection.

    The VergeHands-on review · 2026

    A great foldable with IP68 and reliable triple camera, but its shape feels dated as rivals move on to new designs.

    Tech AdvisorHands-on review · 2026

    Attractive with strong software and improved cameras, yet it feels last-gen: thicker, slower, smaller battery and a larger crease than rivals at a similar price.

    Tom's GuideHands-on review · 2026

    New AI tricks are neat but the hardware is an underwhelming step up, with a weak chip, tiny battery gain and persistent large-screen app quirks for the price.

    WIREDHands-on review

    An iterative upgrade with standout software, IP68 and fast magnetic charging, but it costs $100 more, feels chunky and is hard to justify against Samsung's new foldables.

    Trusted ReviewsHands-on review · 2026

    A well-built, dependable foldable with great software and decent cameras, but its clumsy design, middling performance and modest stamina leave it behind slicker 2026 rivals.

    Android CentralHands-on review · 2026

    A solid upgrade over last year with great Gemini features, but slow chip, disappointing battery and charging, flicker-prone display and awkward opening make it hard to recommend.

    ZDNETHands-on review · 2026

    A durable, slimmer foldable with bright display and creative AI, but middling battery and weak graphics lead the reviewer back to Samsung.
