Google wasn’t first to make a foldable Android phone, but the company’s Pixel Fold series is now an established player with unique traits compared to its competitors. For one, it popularized the passport-style design years ago, being more wide than tall — something that Samsung tried for the first time this year with its Z Fold 8, and that Apple is rumored to do with its foldable iPhone that may or may not arrive in 2026. It also delivered the first IP68-rated foldable in the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, soothing concerns that all foldables are super fragile.
Now that the new Pixel 11 Pro Fold (along with the rest of the Pixel 11 lineup) has been unveiled, we thought it’d be fun to do a comparison of specs between Google’s latest foldable and the last-gen version, along with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra. It’s not often that we get to compare foldables to contemporaries, and hopefully the breakdown helps you figure out which you might want to buy down the line. Here are the HiLights — sorry, had to.
