Google Pixel 11 review: Can this new smartphone lure away iPhone users?

The Google Pixel 11 review highlights the tech giant's latest smartphone as a solid alternative to the iPhone. The reviewer found the device to be well-made, with a comfortable feel and improved performance. The screen brightness and camera versatility stood out, while the lighter weight and faster charging were also appreciated.

The Pixel 11 is set to hit stores this week, with pricing starting at £879.
