A Fold for everyday tasks

Fold phones are the flavour of the season. What began as an expensive experiment is now turning into the next big smartphone battle. Samsung has been at it for years, Chinese brands have made these devices thinner and lighter, and Google is trying to make the category feel less like a novelty and more like something you can use every day.

That is where the Pixel 11 Pro Fold gets a lot right. The first thing that struck me was not the folding screen but a little ring of lights around the rear camera flash that Google calls HiLight.
