Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging, screen and imaging performance) Google improved the 10 Pro Fold by making it narrower, thinner and almost 20g lighter, upgraded the processor and made screens brighter and their bezels thinner. The imaging is the same but battery lost some 200mAh to fit into a smaller body (Google stonewalls Si-C battery tech). At least wireless Q2 charging boy a body from 15W to 25W.
PROs
excellent build with full water & dust protection, very bright ~2000nits sub-400ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screens (inner one is HDR10+ too), IP68 protection, reliable 48MP 24mm OIS main + okay 10.8MP 112mm OIS telefoto + below -par 10.5MP ultrawide setup, 2 10MP 23mm PDAF selfies, average video recording, 7 years of updates for stabile and feature loaded OS, basic desktop replacement functionality built into Android 17, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
mediocre Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance, barely a day endurance from a 4800mAh lithium battery with 90min slow 30W (25W wireless) charging, no expandable memory, limited market availability
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold

EDITORIAL: In a change of direction, Google abandoned their first Fold's proportions (shorter and wider outer screen) for proportions that match other book-like foldable phones. 9 Pro Fold comes with a newer Tensor chip (4nm), smaller battery and (mostly) the same imaging setup.
PROs
excellent build, >2000nits bright >400ppi 120Hz OLED outer screen and >2000nits 380ppi 120Hz LTPO OLED inner screen with HDR10+, immersible IPX8 protection, very average imaging from a 48MP 25mm OIS main + 10.5MP 112mm OIS tele + 10.5MP ultrawide (all with PDAF) setup, average performance from the 2 10MP 23mm PDAF selfie cameras (but you can use the main setup), average video recording, a promise of 7 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port and Satellite SOS Service option
CONs
chunky bezels on both screens, mediocre Tensor G3 with UFS 3.1 performance, 24hr endurance (outer screen, will last less if you use the inner screen too) 4650mAh lithium battery with >90min slow 21W (7.5W wireless) charging, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality
