The P11 Pro Fold retains IP68 dust and water resistance, surpassing the Z Fold 8. However, it hasn't lost the weight and thickness expected from a foldable phone. Instead, Google has reinforced its sturdiness with a new, crack-resistant glass fiber rear panel. This focus on durability, while positive, was not tested for its ultimate resilience. The author expresses doubt about seeing many Pixel foldables in public. Previously, a Pixel Fold's display felt so plasticky it resembled a prop. This initial impression contrasted with the product's real nature and high starting price. The reviewer's experience at a Google Store, akin to a library or museum, highlighted the unique presentation. Ultimately, despite its robust build, the device's significant weight and thickness remain a concern. The material enhancements aim for durability, but practical real-world usage remains a question.
