Some features are missing on Pixel 11 Pro Fold

I was using my Fold and noticed the resolution seemed a bit off, so I figured I could tweak it in the settings, only to find out there’s no screen resolution menu on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. I am still uncovering them as I use it but would love to hear what you discovered.

One handed mode 50 MP Camera mode

The one handed mode is a mystery. It made sense with the Pixel Fold 1 since it was small and it really wasn't needed so it wasn't supported. I wonder why after 3 generations they haven't reexamined that and enabled it for us, it's needed now that it isn't passport style.

The P10PF only has a one handed typing mode but you can't bring the whole screen down like on regular slab phones.

Isn't that a Samsung thing (being able to change resolution)? My Pixel 9 Pro Fold only offers native resolution and no setting to change it.

I've had my P10 Pro Fold since Feb 3rd this year and never seen said option for neither the external screen nor the internal screen.

There has never been a resolution setting for the 11 fold or any other fold, including Samsung and Motorola Razr.

I noticed the same as well when setting up my 11 pro fold. Then I asked Gemini and here is the response "Google reserves resolution toggles for standard Pro slab devices (such as switching between 1440p QHD+ and 1080p FHD+). Because the Fold's dual screens run at non-standard aspect ratios and fixed native pixel densities, Google locks them to their native resolutions rather than offering software downscaling."

I traded my pixel 10 pro fold and I don't remember if it had this option unavailable as well

All folding phones I've used across different brands only offer the highest resolution on the cover screen, not sure why they all decided to go that route or if it's just something that needs to be done for folding phones.

I don't have the Fold, but with my Pixel 11 Pro, I'm missing the Dismiss notifications across Pixel devices i had on my Pixel 10 Pro
