Hands-on: Google Pixel 11 series makes small but meaningful improvements

Google's Pixel 11 series debuts at Made by Google event, featuring notable design upgrades and software enhancements. The base model's camera bar is notably thinner, weighing 0.3 oz less without altering its dimensions. The Pixel 11 Pro and XL models retain the same camera bar size as previous iterations. Google's new HiLight feature on Pro models is underwhelming, only notifying users of incoming calls or Gemini activation.

Magic Capture, however, stands out as a promising software addition, automatically selecting still frames from videos of moving subjects and cropping or unblurring them without internet connection.
