The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is the foldable we would point most buyers to first, because it removes the usual compromises of the format. Google rates it IP68, so it is protected against dust as well as water, while every other phone here is rated IP48 or IP49. The outer screen is a full 6.5-inch display, so the phone works normally when closed, and the 8-inch inner screen opens up for reading, maps and split-screen apps. Every model ships with 16 GB of RAM, and the rear cameras include a 10.8 MP 5x telephoto with Super Zoom up to 30x. Google lists 7 years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates, which matters on a phone this expensive. The battery is rated at a typical 4806 mAh for 24+ hours, with Pixelsnap Qi2.2 wireless charging up to 25W. The tradeoffs are the $1,899 price before trade-in, a weight of 8.4 oz, and wired charging that is slower than Motorola's.
