Google Pixel 11 review: Lackluster upgrades that cost $100 more
The Pixel 11 continues to bring the best AI features around, powered by Gemini, but it lacks the hardware upgrades and performance improvements to back up its $100 price increase.
Google's Pixel 11 review reveals that the new flagship phone offers only minimal upgrades over last year's Pixel 10, but at a higher price. With a premium price tag of $899 versus the $899 of the Pixel 10, the Pixel 11 raises expectations for meaningful improvements. Upon closer inspection, the increased brightness of its OLED display and expanded AI features stand out as the most notable enhancements.
However, the Tensor G6 chipset still lags behind competitors in raw performance, and battery endurance remains middle-of-the-road. Despite the thinner camera housing and added camera tools, the Pixel 11 falls short of justifying the additional $100 cost for most users seeking a top-tier Android experience.
