With the Pixel 11, Google has abandoned the main reason I used to recommend Pixels
Google’s prices have fallen in line with its competitors — and that’s bad news for everyone.
The Google Pixel 11 series was recently launched to a mixed reception. According to Android Authority, the new lineup comes with universal price increases, although this was not announced during the keynote. A price comparison table was provided to illustrate the changes.
The Pixel Watch 1, a separate device, had an issue where some owners encountered an error message in the Google Health app, suggesting they needed to update their wearable. However, Google confirmed that this was a bug and that the original device remains supported, with 9to5Google reporting that it had received updates throughout its lifetime, including Wear OS 5.1 based on Android 15.
There is no apparent connection between the Pixel 11 series and the Pixel Watch 1 issue. The Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 1 are distinct products with separate developments.
