  "account": "The Pixel 11 Pro, part of Google's latest smartphone lineup, may not be as sturdy as its siblings. According to the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL), this flagship device has received a B grade for durability. This lower rating is primarily attributed to its reduced free-fall reliability. Despite this, the phone still boasts an energy efficiency rating of B, placing it in the middle range of efficiency scores. The batteries in all Pixel 11 models are capable of maintaining 80% of their original capacity even after undergoing 1,000 charge cycles. The full spectrum of Pixel 11 devices has been graded for energy efficiency, durability, and repairability by EPREL, providing valuable insights into the performance of these new flagships.",
