iPhone 17 Pro vs Google Pixel 11 Pro: Tech titan flagships compared

Google has launched its new Pixel 11 series, with the Pixel 11 Pro positioned as a compact alternative to Apple's iPhone 17 Pro. According to AppleInsider, the Pixel 11 Pro is part of Google's top-tier lineup, alongside the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

The Pixel 11 series comes with a price increase, with the base Pixel 11 starting at $899, the Pro and Pro XL at $1,099 and $1,299 respectively, and the Pro Fold at $1,899, as reported by The Verge. However, 9to5Google notes that Amazon is offering pre-order deals and trade-in valuations, including bundles with "free" Amazon gift cards, to help offset the cost.

The Pixel 11 series also introduces new features, including a sign-to-text feature that allows users to communicate through American Sign Language (ASL) using their phone's camera, as reported by Mashable. This feature, powered by Google DeepMind's SL2T AI model, enables users to sign messages, emails, and documents, and will initially support ASL with plans to expand to other sign languages in the future.
