Google Pixel 11 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7

Our Verdict: With Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 versus Google Pixel 11, the stronger argument is display quality. The Pixel has the useful edge there with a sharper 421 PPI display, its OLED panel, and a larger 4,985 mAh battery. The Samsung still has a role if you prefer a larger 6.9-inch screen and its Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The Pixel is the stronger choice for display quality, with the Samsung better suited to screen size.

The Pixel 11 is the cheaper one to own: around £648 over a typical contract, £187 less than the Galaxy Z Flip7.
