Pixel 11 vs Pixel 10 series: Do Google’s new phones offer enough for an upgrade?
Google improved cameras, performance, charging, displays, and durability across the Pixel 11 family, but the worthwhile upgrade point sits further back than last year’s Pixel 10.
Google has unveiled its Pixel 11 family, promising several improvements over the Pixel 10 generation. The Tensor G6 chip is expected to deliver a significant performance boost across all four models. Camera enhancements are another key focus, with a larger 48MP main sensor on the Pixel 11 that is 56% more light-sensitive. The telephoto lens has been upgraded to offer 30x zoom, up from 20x on the standard model.
Wireless charging has also been enhanced, moving from 15W to 25W. Despite these upgrades, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold has seen a slight reduction in battery capacity, falling from 5,015mAh to 4,806mAh. While this might affect overall endurance, the lighter chassis could make the Pro Fold feel more natural to use as a daily driver. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold has remained a strong contender, offering IP68 protection, a gearless hinge, Qi2 wireless charging, and Tensor G5 performance.
The Pixel 8 Pro owners may find more compelling reasons to upgrade, as they are sitting closer to a point where significant improvements justify the expense.
