They did tease the pixel 11 pro fold

Even though the pixel is not about raw power I love it for what Google is doing with it software*

There no stock for the 10 series currently, and have to wait for the release of the 11 series. so I’m struggling of picking between 10 pro or 11 pro.

@Pupubiome I know Verizon was literally giving the pixel 10 away for free to clear stock so it may continue to be hard to find. Verizon actually paid off the rest of my Pixel 9 pro and gave me the Pixel 10 pro for free with no trade in. And I can honestly say, I see and feel absolutely 0 difference between the 9 and 10. I think the 11 will be the same if not worse.

@Pupubiome the 9 series has a physical SIM.

@JonathanFigueroawell we didn’t know what will they change about the 11, so let’s hope it will be better

@joshualebowitzwell I’m using a 6a currently and it might broke in the future

Dont get the 10 series battery it’s terrible and battery drops 5/6 in few months. I had to sell mine to get my s26 ultra.
So hope the 11 series fix the issue

More underwhelming hardware and software on the Pixel Fold, woo hoo! How about USI 2.0 stylus support inside and out? How about letting us use the Googlebook desktop UI on the inner display? How about proper floating app window support? How about more than 2-app split-screen? How about a 6,000mAh SiC battery with 70W+ charging? How about a secondary USB-C port so it can function as a true productivity device? How about an under display camera on at least the inner display?

I mean, there’s nothing to spoil. They just keep making the same phone over and over with zero surprises at all. And this year, they’re going to charge even more for inferior hardware, so good luck with that.
Even if you are a Pixel fan and really want the phone, just wait about 2-3 months. It will be on sale for $300 off. Absolutely no one should preorder or buy one at full price. They have abysmal resale value.

Well that’s not true they keep making it worse. They now cut battery performance after 200 cycles and remove the SIM card slot in the US change to a very antiquated power VR GPU. Although they did it finally add video output with the pixel 8 and that’s when they did extend a 7 updates. Things were promising until pixel 9 and pixel 10 were so disappointing and expensive. They were pretty competitive on price but the pixel 6 7 and 8

Do yourself a favor and switch to Motorola brand. Half the price just shop smart

Looking to upgrade to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold from the 10 Pro Fold for better thermals and connectivity when I’m out and about and not under my home Wi-Fi, due to the G6 processor and rumored MediaTek modem.
@RayG834
August 8, 2026 at 9:02 pm
@tomwidner2724 same here. Do you think the battery will be much better. Being that it’s a 2nano meter CPU?
@awkc63

Over $1,000 USD for an anemic SoC

Snapdragon chip is the best solution for pixel

I wish so badly I had chosen Android instead of iPhone back around 2009!
I’ve been stuck in Apple’s ecosystem ever since then!

My wife 67, watches you tube and some tv
serials on smart tv, which mobile is better
Samsung S25 FE or A56 Q or F70 Pro
Kindly suggest 🙏

In my opinion S25 FE or even the S25 is a good phone only thing is S25 has a smaller battery. Don’t know much about the other two phones.

I will not be upgrading my 10 Pro XL. Also looking forward to the new Samsung phones. I’m just really unhappy with Google right now. I can’t believe anything they say anymore.
@MrJitendra007

Well I’m a pixel guy. I like pixel phones but I see a lot of YouTube channels go crazy about the leaks or pixel 11 blah blah blah. Can you guys just wait for the official release ….Everything is gonna be crystal clear….😊😊

Smart phones are such a solved problem at this point, people are just upgrading for status symbol. I upgraded from an iPhone X to the 17 Pro Max because I had to, since work apps were not allowing me to log in anymore. This 17 Pro Max should last me until 2032.

Megapixels means nothing compared to sensor size. Why are we talking about going 48MP to 50MP as an upgrade.
@alfredoparsons5420

I think this consideration will be the one that I finally leave Apple for I’ve been so tired of my iPhone and Apple’s false promises

“Ongoing shortage of RAM” yet all the millions of electronics that use it have it. We just pay more for this “shortage”
