Over 10,000 readers told us that the Pixel 11 series missed the mark

Google's Pixel 11 series was met with mixed reactions from over 10,000 readers, who felt it fell short of expectations. The launch of the four phones, set for pre-order on August 20, prompted a poll which received harsh reviews. Stephen Radochia's recent article highlighted the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL as evidence of Google's departure from Android enthusiasts.

The primary concern was the price hike alongside a reduction in RAM, from 16GB to 12GB on the Pro models, particularly when factoring in the Galaxy S26 Ultra's comparable $1,299 price tag. Although camera enhancements like HiLight and improved Qi charging were noted, the Tensor G6 chip's capabilities remain to be seen if Google aims to justify the premium pricing.
