Google has officially unveiled, or should we say unfolded, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The new device is 10% lighter and 1mm thinner than its predecessor, boasting an IP68 rating, a glass fibre composite back, and a gearless hinge that makes it three times more durable. Both displays hit a peak brightness of 3,600 nits, powered by an all-day battery with faster 30-watt wired and 25-watt Qi2.2 wireless charging.

Powered by the new Tensor G6 chip and 16GB of RAM, the phone is built for Gemini Intelligence. A key hardware highlight is HiLight, an LED ring on the camera bar that glows for priority calls and hands-free AI alerts. The dual-screen setup also introduces a real-time American Sign Language to text translation feature, which will be available in select regions, alongside optimized multitasking tools like app bubbles and split-screen viewing.

The camera setup features an upgraded 48-megapixel main sensor and a telephoto lens with up to 30x Super Zoom, paired with new software like Magic Capture and Camera Looks. Available in Obsidian and Olive, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold's pre-order is now live, with trade-in options available on Google's official site.
