I expected a bigger Pixel 11 battery, but Google is betting on a chip that historically runs hot

The latest Pixel 11 series has sparked discussion about its battery life and hardware. Most major Android flagships can now easily deliver a full day of battery life, even under heavy use, with some lasting a day and a half with moderate use.

Google's new Pixel 11 series has also been criticized for its expensive accessories, with the Pixelsnap Clear Case being singled out as overpriced by 9to5Google. On a more positive note, the Pixel's camera capabilities have been praised, with the Long Exposure photography mode being highlighted as a useful feature.

Some users have also reported receiving ads on their older Pixels after the launch of the Pixel 11 series, which is a departure from Google's usual approach of avoiding ads on its devices. This change was introduced through the My Pixel app, which was previously called Pixel Tips.
