I like almost everything about the Pixel 11 Pro, but Google played it way too safe

There just really isn't much new this year.

I like almost everything about the Pixel 11 Pro, but Google played it way too safe

The Google Pixel 11 Pro has a similar design to its predecessor, the Pixel 10 Pro, with only slight alterations, including a new all-glass camera bump and an LED light. According to XDA Developers, the phone's design is "nearly identical" to last year's model. TechRadar notes that the new color options are a positive addition.

The Pixel 11 Pro features Google's new Tensor G6 processor and storage options start at 256GB, doubling to 512GB and 1TB. However, the base model's price has increased by $100, and the memory has been reduced from 16GB to 12GB, although higher storage variants still offer 16GB of memory. TechRadar reports that Google claims to have made optimizations to get more out of less memory.

The phone's cameras are considered "fantastic" by TechRadar, with a new Magic Capture mode that simplifies recording video or taking photos. There is no information available about other features or significant upgrades compared to the previous model.

JSON to String Conversion: The Edge Cases That Actually Bite in Production

Every JS developer writes JSON.stringify(data) a hundred times before they ever stop to think about what it's actually doing under the hood.

  • JSON.stringify drops undefined, functions, and Symbol types silently in objects
  • NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity convert to null during serialization
  • Circular references in objects cause TypeError during JSON.stringify
