What happened

Pros: just like a regular Pixel when closed, good tablet screen, dust and water resistant, Qi2 magnetic accessory and charging, good performance, great cameras with 5x zoom, great software packed with cutting-edge AI, six months of Google AI Pro included, seven years of software updates. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianReviewPixel 11 Pro review: Google’s best pocket camera goes customisableSolid battery life, snappy performance and quality software make for a great smaller phone with a killer cameraGoogle’s latest Pro phone is out to prove it has the best camera on a smartphone while embracing customisation, allowing you to change the look and feel of your photos far beyond simple filters even if that means making them technically worse.

The Pixel 11 Pro packs the best of Google’s hardware and software into a still-pocketable and easy to handle frame, instantly making it a contender for best smaller phone of the year. But as with other Pixel devices, the phone is a showcase for Google’s most advanced AI tools that are littered throughout the software. Pros: great camera with extended zoom and extensive customisation, seven years of software updates, excellent screen, impressive dictation and local AI features, Qi2 wireless charging and magnetic accessory support, good battery life, great size, fast fingerprint and face recognition, six months of Google AI Pro included.

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. 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.

The wider picture

The back of the phone hides the excellent 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. 5in FHD+ 120Hz OLED (399ppi) Inside screen: 8in 120Hz OLED (372ppi) Processor: Google Tensor G6 RAM: 16GB Storage: 256, 512GB or 1TB Operating system: Android 17 Camera: 48MP wide, 10. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianThe Fold runs the latest version of Android 17 with all of Google’s AI tools, including Gemini’s proactive system, the new supercharged voice dictation feature and six months of Google AI Pro subscription.

Many of Google’s more creative AI tools, including the Omni video creation tool, Circle to Search and Gemini’s information cards benefit from the larger internal screen. Google has made a number of modifications to Android to better fit the folding form, including a floating taskbar and a split-screen mode that can resize apps beyond the bounds of the physical display introduced last year. The phone is repairable by Google and third-party shops, and self-repair with manuals and parts is due to be available.

Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianThe Fold also has the new software features from the other Pixel 11 phones, including Camera Looks, which allows you to customise the processing of your photos for different styles. PriceThe Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold costs from £1,799 (€1,999/$1,899/A$2,799).

What has been reported

VerdictThe Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a fairly minor hardware update for Google’s folding phone line, which makes it slightly lighter, smaller, brighter and faster, while keeping its overall look and feel the same. It has great AI tools, slick software and some of the very best cameras.

Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianThe 11 Pro runs the same Google version of Android 17 as the regular Pixel 11 and will be supported until August 2033 with operating system and security updates, making it one of the longest-lasting devices available.

The 11 Pro comes with six months of Google AI Pro subscription, which gives you access to Gemini Omni to generate surprisingly good eight-second videos, higher AI usage limits, 5TB of cloud storage and Google Health Premium. PriceThe Google Pixel 11 Pro costs from £1,079 (€1,199/$1,099/A$1,849) in a choice of four colours.

What happens next

VerdictThe Pixel 11 Pro is a refinement of multiple generations of Google’s Pro phones rather than an outright revolution, but that’s no bad thing. It is one of the very best smaller phones, packing all the top-end hardware, cameras and AI features of Google’s most biggest and expensive model into a slightly cheaper and more pocketable form. With just shy of two days battery life, a decent chip and quality software, the Pixel 11 Pro is a great pocketable phone.
