Pixel 11 Pro Fold: Premium Foldable, Heavy and Expensive

Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold offers dual bright OLED displays, a lighter/thinner frame, IP68 durability, and a new gearless hinge, but it remains a bulky, heavy device with a mixed battery life on a 4,806mAh cell and a camera system that, while capable, isn’t on par with Google’s non-folding Pro models. Priced from $1,899 for 256GB/16GB RAM and rising with storage, it sits against strong rivals like Samsung’s Fold 8 and the upcoming iPhone Duo, delivering a premium experience that’s good but not class-leading in the foldables space.

iPhone Duo: Foldable, Dual-Screen Camera Tricks, With Missing Pro Zoom

Apple’s iPhone Duo introduces a foldable, dual‑display design with new Camera app features (Smart Take, Duo Preview, Duo FaceTime) that leverage its form factor. It uses a 48MP main sensor with sensor‑shift OIS plus a 48MP ultra‑wide (no telephoto) and offers up to 2x optical zoom and up to 10x digital zoom, plus 4K Dolby Vision at up to 120fps and Cinematic mode up to 60fps (with post‑capture edits). The outer front camera is 12MP, while the inner display houses a 1080p FaceTime camera under the screen. Pro features such as telephoto, ProRAW/ProRes, and spatial photos are missing. The Duo supports built‑in tripod-style use in half‑folded mode and Duo FaceTime lets others join via the outer display. Pre‑orders start October 16, with launch October 23, pricing starting at $1,999.

Pixel 11 Pro Fold review: premium foldable with stellar cameras and AI, but pricey

Pixel 11 Pro Fold refines Google's folding line with a lighter build, brighter outer screen, and faster Tensor G6, while keeping IP68 durability and a strong triple-camera setup. The 8-inch inner display is crisp but shows a noticeable crease, battery life trails rivals, and the device is expensive and heavy; however, it runs Android 17 with Gemini AI tools, Bubbles multitasking, and promises updates until 2033, making it a top option for those who want a Pixel that behaves like a regular phone when closed.

Apple bets AI on a foldable iPhone Duo under cautious pricing

Apple’s new CEO John Ternus faces a practical test: make AI an everyday reality by launching the foldable iPhone Duo at just under $2,000, while managing higher memory costs to keep volumes and margins in balance. The Duo, a cross between iPhone and iPad, is meant to raise average selling prices and anchor AI experiences for the roughly 1.5 billion iPhone users, with success hinging on product design and user education as much as on a single breakthrough device. The piece notes past AI missteps (Siri, Vision Pro) and argues the real win will be making AI useful in daily life via the core iPhone ecosystem.

Apple’s Foldable Push Faces Huawei and Xiaomi in a High-Stakes September Reveal

Ahead of Apple’s September "Surprise and Shine" event, Bank of America analysts expect a major product reveal including the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max and Apple’s first foldable iPhone (likely branded Ultra or Fold) with premium specs, while Huawei and Xiaomi have already rolled out foldables, intensifying competition as IDC notes strong demand despite high prices and a market that remains a small share of overall smartphones; Apple’s ecosystem-led differentiation could be key as it enters a crowded foldable landscape led by Samsung.
