Google is still prioritizing repairability, as this Pixel 11 Pro XL teardown gives us a better look inside

The Pixel 11 Pro XL has been put through a durability and repairability test by JerryRigEverything's Zack Nelson. According to Android Authority, the phone held up well, with Nelson describing it as "one of the easiest phones to repair of 2026." The teardown video showed that common repairs, such as replacing the display and battery, were relatively simple and could be done in just a few minutes.

The phone's durability was also tested, with Nelson subjecting it to his usual battery of abuse. Android Authority reported that the Pixel 11 Pro XL barely bent or flexed at all, suggesting that it should hold up well to everyday wear and tear. However, the display still scratched at level six, with deeper grooves at level seven, despite Google's claim that it is "more than twice as scratch-resistant than previous models."

The Pixel 11 Pro has been praised for its design, with Android Police describing it as a "fairly complete device" thanks to Google's years of refinement. However, some users have reported issues with playing certain games, such as Genshin Impact, on the device, according to Digital Trends.
