Watch out Apple, Google just dropped four new camera phones, this time packed with “magic” and gorgeous colour options

Google has just released four new Pixel phones under the Pixel 11 series, challenging Apple's dominance in the smartphone market. The Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pro XL all boast larger camera sensors and the new Tensor G6 chip, promising better detail capture and improved low-light photography. These phones also offer faster computational image processing.

The rear camera module has been redesigned to integrate the flash unit and light sensor, giving the black glass a complete makeover. The Pixel 11 Pro and XL feature a brighter 3600-nit display, while the Pro Fold boasts 20% brighter visuals. A new mode called Magic Capture records video and selects the best still frames from it, automatically cropping and unblurring any less-than-ideal shots.

Another feature, Camera Looks, allows users to create and save custom film styles, essentially acting as a photo filter mode. The Pixel 11 will be available in Frost, Hibiscus, Pistachio, and Obsidian colors. The Google Pixel 11 comes with a 1/1.56-inch sensor, while the Pro and Pro XL models have a more generous 1/1.95-inch sensor.

The Pro and Pro XL also see upgrades to their telephoto units, with the Pro having a 120x digital zoom and the Pro XL reaching up to 30x zoom. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL will be sold in Obsidian, Olive, Fog, and Canyon color ways.
