Thinking of buying the base Pixel 11? Here are 6 Pro camera features you’ll miss

If you're a camera buff, the regular Pixel 11 may not be the best choice.

Thinking of buying the base Pixel 11? Here are 6 Pro camera features you’ll miss

The base Pixel 11 falls short in several aspects when compared to its Pro counterpart. For instance, it lacks the ability to capture full-resolution 48MP or 50MP photos, a feature exclusive to the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL. This limitation is puzzling, considering the Pixel 10 Pro already boasted a 100x Pro Res Zoom, which was generated using AI for sharp images.

Additionally, the base Pixel 11 misses out on manual camera controls, a standard feature in many budget Android phones. Another significant omission is Google's Instant Night Sight, a mode that captures low-light images significantly faster than the traditional Night Sight. Although the Pixel 11 range now includes Instant Night Sight, the base model is still deprived of this feature.

Furthermore, the base Pixel 11 lacks Video Boost, a cloud-based feature that enhances video capture in terms of quality and resolution. The Pro and Pro Fold models, however, benefit from this feature, which allows for 8K capture and Night Sight Video. In summary, if you're considering purchasing the base Pixel 11, be aware that you'll be missing out on several Pro-specific camera features.

Beyond the Demo: Building Production-Ready AI Agents — A Guide to Benchmarking, Cost Optimization, and Tooling in 2026

Originally published on tamiz.pro . Most AI agents ship from a notebook, impress in a demo, and quietly fail in production.

  • Production AI agents need observability, evaluation rigor, and cost discipline beyond demos.
  • Benchmarks should include task-level tests, edge cases, and a weighted scoring rubric.
  • Cost optimization techniques include tiered model routing, prompt compression, and token budgeting.

The IR Is a sqlglot AST

Every data tool has an intermediate representation, whether it admits to one or not. It is the thing a model becomes after parsing and before execution, and it quietly decides what the tool can do.

  • The IR is a sqlglot AST combined with Arrow schema
  • Remote engines connect over ADBC wire format
  • Storage defaults to DuckLake with SQLite control plane
