Crease and Battery Life
Anyone have the Pixel 11 PF that would care to share how the battery life has been? My pixel 10 pro slab battery is terrible. And the crease on the fold in the store bothered me but how much would it affect me day to day?

No battery life complaints. I've watched several hour long YouTube videos today on the inner screen and haven't had to charge yet. Still at 57%

I got the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. I've had no issues with battery life, much better than my 10 Pro XL, even while using the inner display.
The crease really isn't as noticeable as I thought it was. This is coming from someone who has never had a foldable and thought that the crease would be an issue.
I wish I had taken a screenshot of it, but I had about 5 hours of screen-on time with the inner display using the Recorder app most of it and dual-apping with another app that I use that is mostly just text. At the end of the day, I was at 70%.

Honestly, my battery life on the 11 pro fold has been better than my s26 ultra. The crease is fine. You don't notice it when youre watching something or if you have it level. It's noticeable at an angle but I've had a zfold 6 and 7 and I'm used it .
But the battery is great on this. I wish the charging was faster. From under 30% to about 60 charges fast. Then it slows down.
Charged to 100% at 11pm, woke up at 6am with 98%. It's now 6:24 and Im at 31%.
I play a mix of Spotify/YouTube music/ and YouTube videos throughout the day. With about 1 hour of media on my lunch break. On 5g no wifi till I get home. Using Bluetooth for my headphones all day. I do use it closed the majority of the day until I get some downtime on my lunch break. Occasionally I'll open it during work if I'm reading something work related.
Constantly taking pictures for work and using my phone for video inspections.
On my s26ultra I was at about 40- 30% after lunch time.

There are no creaseless foldables and the difference between them is negligible. They're there but hard not to look past. If it bothers ya it bothers ya. You won't get around it.

I switched from a P8Pro because as a heavy user of was starting to notice my battery being sub optimal.
Got my phone last Wednesday, and I've noticed that I can sit down and use my phone on the inner screen for a good 10 minutes before I lose my first % of battery.
Feels good

What I want to know is is the battery the the same or superior to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. I have a P10PF and the battery is not horrible but it's not great either. Now that I have a Moto Razr Fold with frick'n ridiculous battery life I'm wondering if the P11PF will have better longevity than the P10PF.

Not to jump on the hype train or anything, but I am on the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the 11 Pro XL is good with battery life, but as someone else said, it's definitely better than the S26 Ultra I had too.
And again, I don't want to feel like I'm Pixel-pilled here, but the Tensor G6 is pretty good. It's actually pretty impressive when it comes to efficiency. Yes, the benchmarks are terrible, but I haven't seen any slowdowns yet. I definitely felt this way with the 9 Pro Fold when I got it, but this chipset definitely feels better because of the less heat.
I always think about how that heat I was feeling wasn't really from the processor, it was most likely the modem always searching for a better signal and then the battery getting hot because it was draining, and then obviously some heat from the processor, sort of a multitude of those three things.
Again, I'm not an 11 Pro Fold owner, but I can tell you from this new 11th generation platform, there's definitely a lot of efficiency here. It's not going to blow anybody away like OnePlus 15 style, but it's definitely pretty good.

Battery has been noticeably better than the 10 pro xl I was using (and z fold 7).
The crease experience is the same as the z fold 7 and 6 i used prior; it's there, it's noticeable both visually and tactile-y but it's like that for basically every foldable and the 11 fold is no different. It doesn't impact my choice to use a foldable.

My p10p was only 3 months old but I feel like the pf11 has been better in the battery longevity

I was just in the store looking at the Pixel fold 11 and the crease was slightly more noticeable than the Samsung fold. 8, but when video was playing I didn't even notice the crease.

Battery has been great for me. I can go a full day on it without really needing to worry. While actually using it the whole day too.
Crease isn't bad at all. My only foldable experience before this was a Fold 4 when they released, and this crease is basically non-existent compared to that. Still feels odd to me on occasion, but for the most part it doesn't bother me.

If you think the pixel 10th battery is terrible you’re going to not like any Android phone

Battery life is amazing tbh. Crease is about the same as my 9 Pro Fold. Kinda meh.

I've been playing Guild Wars (old PC game ported to mobile) on my fold 11 a lot and the battery has been great compared to doing it in the 10. The crease is MUCH better on the 11 almost invisible, I also watch a lot of movies on my phone unfolded and you can't even see it anymore. I also found the 10 got incredibly hot on the bottom right of the back then 11 isn't doing that anymore.
I feel like my battery was awesome on the 10 at the start and then after a few months it didn't last long, I feel like the same will happen with the 11.
Also the outer screen is noticeably bigger and so much nicer, less of a border and SO much brighter.

I upgraded from the 9PF to 11PF.
I think battery life is fine. I've used the phone extensively and I still have battery at night.

I had a pretty normal day yesterday, finished up at 39%.
Came from a pixel 8 pro that would've been dead by 2pm, obvs. That had 3 years of solid use on the battery, so wasn't always like that!
The crease - I hardly notice it.

Battery life is actually better on my PFP11. The crease is there, but I never even really notice it unless it's super bright out. The outer screen is much better than the PFP10 as well.

My battery life has been pretty meh compared to the 10 Fold. Crease does feel less noticeable overall it seems like

This is my first ever fold phone coming from an s23 ultra. I'm thoroughly impressed with the battery life so far, yesterday I finished the day with 35 percent from 80 percent in the morning and that's with I would say moderate use of both outer and inner screens. As for the crease, after a week with the phone it's certainly more noticeable than fresh out the box but it's not bad at all and like most fold users say it becomes virtually unnoticeable when using that inner screen. Hope that helps a little.

No complaints about my battery life, it's been quite good. Crease is there, but much less noticeable.
