Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold vs Google Pixel 11 Pro XL

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Google Pixel 11 Pro XL and Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold is portability against display quality. For the XL, that means a larger 6.8-inch screen, a sharper 482 PPI display, and its LTPO OLED panel. The Fold is easier to recommend for its OLED panel. Go with the XL for portability; lean toward the Fold if display quality is higher on your list.

The Pro XL is the cheaper one to own: around £948 over a typical contract, £380 less than the Pro Fold.
