Google’s new Pixel 11 series puts cameras and AI front and center, pairing major imaging upgrades with the company’s new Tensor G6 chip, improved durability, and faster performance.
The Pixel 11 features a redesigned camera bar that is 40% thinner than its predecessor, making the phone virtually bump-free when paired with a Made by Google case. It combines an edge-to-edge glass design with a satin metal frame, polished glass back, and an Actua display. The phone is also engineered to withstand everyday splashes, scratches, and drops.
The Pixel 11 comes in Pistachio, Hibiscus, Frost, and Obsidian.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL feature the brightest Super Actua display yet, reaching up to 3,600 nits. A new anti-scratch coating offers more than twice the scratch resistance of the previous generation, while the drop-resistant design introduced with the Pixel 9 series makes the new Pro models Google’s most durable yet.
The Pro phones are available in Canyon, Fog, Olive, and an all-matte Obsidian finish.
All three models start with 256GB of storage and support Google’s fastest charging yet. Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro add Qi 2.2 25W compatibility alongside built-in Pixelsnap, while the Pixel 11 Pro XL can gain up to 15 hours of battery life with 15 minutes of wired charging.
Camera upgrades are another major focus. The Pixel 11 gets a larger 48MP main sensor with 56% greater light sensitivity and a 5x telephoto lens capable of 30x Super Zoom.
The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL feature a new main sensor and an upgraded 48MP telephoto camera with 30% greater light sensitivity. Portrait Mode is now available at 5x, while Pro Zoom can reach 120x. Improved image processing also makes Night Sight up to 4.5 times faster.
Powering these features is Tensor G6, Google’s fastest and most powerful chip yet. It delivers 25% faster web browsing, 15% faster app launches, and 50% more TPU compute. With the latest Gemini Nano model, on-device AI tasks can run up to 3.5 times faster while using up to 3.5 times less energy.
The phones also introduce the Titan M3 security chip and post-quantum cryptography for secure boot, while Google promises seven years of OS, security, and Pixel Drop updates.
The Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL start at $899, $1,099, and $1,299, respectively.
