Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold vs Samsung Galaxy S25

Our Verdict: If you are choosing between Samsung Galaxy S25 and Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold, display quality is the main reason to lean one way. The Pixel has a larger 6.5-inch screen, its OLED panel, and a larger 4,806 mAh battery; the Samsung mainly responds with its Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel and a lighter 162g body. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The Pixel is the better fit for display quality, while the Samsung is the one to consider for portability.

Over a full contract, the S25 works out around £603 all-in, about £725 less than the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
