The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is the foldable in Google’s 2026 Pixel family. It shares its chip and its wireless charging standard with the other Pixel 11 phones, and adds a second, larger screen that opens like a book. This page gathers the facts Google documents for it, explains what they mean for the cable and charger you buy, and points to repair resources. Every figure is traced to a source listed at the bottom of the page.

The display rows show the inner screen, which is the larger of the two. The wired charging row is blank on purpose: Google publishes a fast-charging claim tied to a charger, not a maximum wattage for the phone, and we do not guess one. The iFixit score row is blank because iFixit showed no score when we checked.
Where does the Pixel 11 Pro Fold fit?
Google’s launch post describes the Pixel 11 Pro Fold as thinner, lighter and three times more durable than previous models, with a new HiLight camera notification system and a Tensor G6 chip. It says the phone is almost 10% lighter and about 1 mm thinner than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and that you could pre-order it before it hit shelves on August 20. Google lists two colors on its spec page, Olive and Obsidian, and three storage sizes, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, each with 16GB of RAM.
Google’s phones do not appear in the sales rankings we cite, so the Pixel 11 Pro Fold ranks twenty-ninth in our library as part of Google’s current lineup, which Google lists on its Store page. The Google Store lists it alongside the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL, the Pixel 11 and the Pixel 10a. See the Google hub for the family, and compare other foldables such as the Galaxy Z Fold8 and the Galaxy Z Flip8.
What cable does the Pixel 11 Pro Fold use?
The phone has a USB Type-C port, which Google lists as USB Type-C 3.2. The USB-IF defines USB 3.2 at 5, 10 and 20 Gb/s (see the USB speed guide), but Google does not say which of those the port runs at, so we do not either. The box cable is a 1 m USB-C to USB-C cable that Google lists as USB 2.0, 2nd gen. The USB-IF says USB products run at the lowest common speed, so that cable limits data speed. For faster transfers buy a cable made for them, and read cable buying safety and our USB-C explainer.
What charger does the Pixel 11 Pro Fold need?
Wired. Google says fast charging takes the Pixel 11 Pro Fold to up to 50% in about 30 minutes using a 30W USB-C PPS charger or higher, sold separately. PPS stands for Programmable Power Supply, a feature of USB Power Delivery 3.0; see PPS and USB Power Delivery. The box has no adapter, so you must supply one. The wattage guide lists other published figures.
Wireless. Google lists Pixelsnap wireless charging that is Qi2.2-certified, at up to 25W. The Wireless Power Consortium says Qi2 25W launched in July 2025 and delivers nearly 70% more power than Qi2, and that only Qi Certified products may show the Qi or Qi2 logo. See Qi2 explained and the wireless charger guide. For a checklist, read which charger is safe for my phone.
The screens, explained
A foldable has two displays, and Google lists both as “Super Actua” panels from 1 to 120Hz with Smooth Display.
- Outer display: 6.5 inches, 1080 x 2342 OLED at 399 PPI, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, with ultra-durable glass ceramic cover glass.
- Inner display: 8 inches, called Super Actua Flex, 2076 x 2152 OLED at 372 PPI, covered by Ultra Thin Glass.
Google lists both screens at up to 2000 nits for HDR and up to 3600 nits at peak brightness. OLED means each pixel makes its own light; see OLED explained. A range that starts at 1Hz lets the screen slow down for static content, which is the idea behind LTPO panels, although Google’s Fold page does not use the LTPO label, so we list the type simply as OLED. For what the numbers mean in use, see the refresh rate guide.
Size, weight and build
Google lists the folded phone at 6.1 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 0.4 inches deep, and the unfolded phone at 6.1 inches tall, 5.9 inches wide and 0.2 inches deep. It weighs 8.4 ounces. The cover glass is ultra-durable glass ceramic, the back is an ultra-durable composite matte with a satin finish, and the frame is spacecraft-grade aluminum with a multi-alloy steel and aerospace-grade aluminum alloy cover, according to Google. The phone is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance, and Google says the aluminum in the housings is 100% recycled content, with at least 24% recycled materials by product weight.
Performance, cameras and battery
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold uses the Google Tensor G6 with the Titan M3 security chip, and all configurations have 16GB of RAM. Google says the 512GB and 1TB models use Zoned UFS for faster performance. Google lists a typical battery of 4806 mAh (minimum 4658 mAh) and 24+ hours of battery life.
The rear camera system has three lenses: a 48MP wide camera (f/1.70, 85-degree field of view), a 10.5MP ultrawide with autofocus and Macro Focus (f/2.2, 127 degrees) and a 10.8MP 5x telephoto with optical image stabilization (f/3.1, 23 degrees), with Super Zoom up to 30x. The outer selfie camera and the inner camera are both 10MP at f/2.2. Google lists 4K video recording at 24, 30 and 60 frames per second on the rear cameras, and features such as Dual Screen Preview, Rear Camera Selfie and Tabletop mode hands-free shots that depend on the foldable design.
Software and connectivity
Google lists 7 years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates, and says the phone launched with Android 17. It lists Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, NFC, an Ultra-Wideband chip, Thread networking and dual SIM with a single nano SIM and an eSIM. The 5G model it lists is a mmWave model, with Sub-6 and mmWave band lists published on the Store page; check your carrier’s compatibility information before you buy.
What is in the box
Google’s What’s in the box list names the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, a 1 m USB-C to USB-C cable (USB 2.0, 2nd gen) and a SIM tool. No power adapter is listed, so a 30W PPS charger is a separate purchase.
Security and safety features Google lists
Google lists multi-layer hardware security for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold: a Tensor G6 with quantum-safe secure boot in hardware, a Tensor security core, a certified Titan M3 chip and a Trusted Execution Environment called Trusty. It also lists a VPN by Google at no extra cost, anti-malware and anti-phishing protection, and spam and scam protection in Google Phone and Messages. Safety features include Satellite SOS, Emergency SOS, Crisis Alerts, Car Crash Detection, Safety Check and theft protection, and authentication is by Fingerprint Unlock, Face Unlock or a pattern, PIN or password. These are Google’s descriptions of its own features, and some depend on your region, carrier or subscription.
Repair overview
iFixit has a device page for the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which says the phone was released in August 2026. When we checked it listed no repairability score and no repair guides, so we show none. We never copy iFixit’s text.
Read our repair overview for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, battery replacement basics, screen replacement basics and how to read repairability scores. Foldable screens are different from flat ones, so check any repair offer carefully; our battery page cites Apple’s guidance because we have not yet found a Google equivalent.
Video reviews
We have not verified individual review videos for this phone, so we do not list any. You can browse more video reviews of the Pixel 11 Pro Fold on YouTube.
Compatible accessories
Categories to look at: cases, 30W PPS chargers, Qi2 wireless chargers and screen protectors. Google’s launch post mentions a Pixel 11 Pro Fold case with an integrated hinge cover for added protection, so check any case or magnetic accessory is made for this model, and for the Pixelsnap system, before you buy.

Who should buy it, and who might skip it
Facts that help you decide:
- You want a book-style foldable with long software support. Google lists 7 years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates.
- You want an adaptive 1 to 120Hz screen on both displays. Google lists 1 to 120Hz for the outer and inner screens.
- You want Qi2.2 wireless charging. Google lists Pixelsnap up to 25W.
- You want a charger included. None is in the box; budget for a 30W PPS adapter.
- You expect the included cable to give the top data speed. The box cable is USB 2.0, so fast data needs a different cable.
- You want a lower price. The Google Store lists a regular price of $1,899, much higher than the Pixel 11 family’s standard phones.
