Pre-orders for the entire Pixel 11 series have gone live starting today, and Google says deliveries will begin from August 20, so early buyers won't have to wait too long to get their hands on the new devices.

Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL

The two Pro devices are the core of the current product range and, not surprisingly, they come equipped with similar components. So, the first model in the current range is Pixel 11 Pro with its 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED screen boasting the resolution of 1280 x 2856 px and variable refresh rate which ranges from 1Hz to 120Hz. This display is covered with the latest version of Gorilla Glass called Victus 2 along with additional scratch-resistant coating and offers up to 2,400 nits for HDR content and up to 3,600 nits in bright sunlight.

In case the larger display is required, Pixel 11 Pro XL will provide 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED screen with 1344 x 2992 px resolution, but all other specs will remain unchanged.

Camera Setup on the Pro Models

Google has never left the area of photography with Pixel, and in its Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL models, there is an upgraded triple-camera system that consists of 50MP wide sensor, 48MP ultra-wide camera featuring Macro Focus, and a 48MP telephoto camera capable of providing a 5x optical zoom. Thanks to the Google Pro Zoom technology, digital zoom now goes up to 120x, while optical quality zoom is provided at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x magnification rates. The front camera of these models is a 42MP auto-focus one, and both of them are able to record 8K video at 24 or 30 FPS.

In addition to technical improvements, there are two new software features introduced by Google. Magic Capture is going to find and capture the best possible moment from your day, crop and unblur it so that you could immediately share it with others. At the same time, the Camera Looks feature allows creating custom film style looks for any photo you want. These features complement existing popular Add Me and Camera Coach tools.

Tensor G6 Chipset and On-Device AI

At the heart of the Pixel 11 Pro range is the Tensor G6 processor, which is fabricated using a 2 nm architecture, accompanied by the Titan M3 security coprocessor. The company boasts of the processor being 20 percent more efficient in terms of energy consumption, 25 percent faster for web browsing, and 15 percent more efficient in app loading.

AI continues to play an important role, as always. With the Gemini Intelligence system, Pixel 11 phones have better speech to text services where it can filter out unnecessary words such as “um” and arrange the rest of the words in the form of neat text. The Circle to Search feature has been incorporated into the Pixel Camera app range.

Battery Life on the Pro Models

Battery capacity is one of the only few places in which the two models of Pro really differ. The Pixel 11 Pro comes with a 4,850mAh battery supporting 30W wired charging, while its bigger brother Pixel 11 Pro XL sports a somewhat bigger 5,115mAh battery that charges at a higher 45W speed. Pixelsnap wireless charging is supported by both with the standard Qi2.2-certification at speeds up to 25W.

It's important to mention that the rivals, like the Vivo X300 and the OPPO Find X9 series, feature bigger batteries, thus heavy users may find the Pixel 11 Pro lineup slightly inferior on paper even though Google promises more than 30 hours of battery life on both handsets. Interestingly, this time the battery upgrade is rather modest since the older Pixel 10 Pro XL featured a larger 5,200mAh battery, while the Pixel 10 Pro had 4,870mAh capacity, so the regular Pro model actually took a step back.

Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL will come in four color options: Canyon, Olive, Fog, and matte Obsidian, in 12GB+256GB and 16GB+512GB configurations.

What Exactly Is the New HiLight Feature?

Among other unique features added this year is HiLight, which is present only in the Pixel 11 Pro series phones. The idea behind HiLight is pretty simple – it is a set of ambient LED lights that are located near the camera flash module and serve to deliver light-based notifications right on the back of the phone without the need to look at its display.

For example, you can program HiLight to shine in certain colors when the calls come from your favorite contacts. This way, HiLight will notify you about these calls without the need to open the display. It can also shine when Gemini is working and listening to your requests.

Google Pixel 11 Specifications

The basic Pixel 11 is the more affordable device among the two, providing most of the high-end features but cutting some corners to provide at a reduced cost. It has a 6.3-inch Actua OLED screen that comes with a resolution of 1080 x 2424 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate of 60-120Hz. In addition, the display is covered by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

On battery, the Pixel 11 has more battery capacity compared to the Pixel 11 Pro by 15 milliampere-hours and has a capacity of 4,985mAh compared to the 4,970mAh on the Pixel 10. Google continues to promise over 30 hours of battery life, plus 30W wired and wireless charging capability.

As far as the camera specifications go, the Pixel 11 still features a triple-lens system but with a smaller size of cameras: 48MP wide camera with Macro Focus, 13MP ultrawide camera, and 10.8MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. Google’s Super Zoom enables you to achieve a maximum zoom of 30x; optical quality is ensured in 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x modes. The front camera is a 10.5MP autofocus camera. The device does not support 8K recordings – the maximum resolution of videos on the Pixel 11 is 4K with 24, 30, and 60 fps.

In other respects, the Pixel 11 comes with the same Tensor G6 processor and features all the AI technologies available on other models of the series. The Pixel 11 will come in Frost, Pistachio, Hibiscus, and Obsidian colours with 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB storage capacity.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold Specifications

Completing the collection, along with having the most expensive price point by quite some distance, is the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. From its outer design, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold has a 6.5-inch Super Actua OLED cover display with 1080 x 2342 pixels and a refresh rate of 1-120Hz, while maintaining the same 2,400 nits HDR and 3,600 nits peak brightness ratings as the other Pro models. Once unfolded, it gives way to an impressive 8-inch Super Actua Flex OLED inner display measuring 2076 x 2152 pixels with Ultra Thin Glass and sharing similar brightness and refresh rate capabilities as the cover display.

It comes with a battery capacity of 4,750mAh that supports 30W wired charging and same wireless charging capabilities as the rest of the collection. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold camera set up consists of a 48MP wide camera, a 10.5MP ultrawide camera lens with Macro Focus, and a 10.8MP telephoto camera lens with 5x optical zoom. The maximum Super Zoom stands at 30x and the optical quality stays true for 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x. There is a 10MP front camera that takes care of selfies on this model.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is available in one Olive color only, accompanied by 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.

Should You Buy the Google Pixel 11 Series?

From what Google has unveiled about the Pixel 11 series, there is no doubt that it is a great choice for anyone interested in getting a smartphone that prioritizes its camera over anything else, features the best on-device artificial intelligence currently available for any Android phone, has the latest chipset that promises to be extremely fast, and delivers the signature software experience of Pixel phones.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold might appeal to those users who are thinking of buying their first foldable smartphone, as long as the price does not scare them off.

For anyone using a Pixel 9 right now, switching to the Pixel 11 Pro would make sense considering the improvements offered by the newer model in terms of performance and the camera system. If you are already using the Pixel 10 smartphone, then you should know that the improvement compared to the predecessor is rather modest. As usual, comparing the Pixel 11 series to other smartphones in its price range would not hurt.
