Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL Review: Smart Software, Small Upgrade

Google’s new voice typing is pure magic, but subpar gaming performance and a useless rear LED keep these flagships from true greatness.

Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL Review: Smart Software, Small Upgrade

The Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL have made a small upgrade over their predecessors. One of the most impressive features is their upgraded, AI-powered voice-to-text feature called Rambler, which can romanize words from various languages, including the user's mother tongue, Malayalam. This feature can even translate the transcribed sentence back into the original language.

Additionally, Google's Pixel phones are known for their smart and helpful everyday capabilities, such as Call Screen, Google Recorder, and Gemini Intelligence. While the Pixel 11 Pro and XL might not offer significant performance improvements for gaming, they remain the only major Android phones with built-in Qi2 magnets, a feature that sets them apart.
