Google Pixel 11 Pro XL Review | Smart AI design boosts a larger, premium Pixel

Google's Pixel 11 Pro XL represents a modest upgrade from its predecessor, the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The phone maintains the same overall design but boasts improved internals and new AI features. Inside, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is equipped with the Tensor G6 chipset, larger cameras, faster charging, and an upgraded display. However, there are a few trade-offs, including a slightly smaller battery and the removal of a temperature sensor.

The starting storage capacity has also been reduced to 256 GB, with a higher RAM configuration of 12 GB for the lower-priced model. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is priced higher, beginning at ₹1,34,999 for the 12 GB+256 GB variant, compared to the previous generation's ₹1,29,999 starting price. For the higher price, users will receive a brighter display, faster cameras, and improved AI features.

The display remains one of the phone's strongest points, featuring a 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED with a brighter and more colorful screen. AI tools like Rambler, Gemini Live, and Circle to Search offer useful functionality, but their impact on the overall upgrade experience may be limited for current Pixel 10 Pro XL users.
