Meet Google Pixel 11

Google Pixel 11 builds on the company’s familiar flagship formula with more capable hardware, deeper Gemini integration and a noticeably slimmer design. It is an evolutionary update focused on practical improvements, including faster charging, stronger security, brighter visuals and a camera system designed to make difficult shots easier.

What Google Changed This Year

Much of the Pixel 11 buzz centers on refinements that make the phone faster, tougher and more useful throughout the day. Google has upgraded the processing and security hardware, redesigned the prominent camera bar and expanded its magnetic charging system.

These three features represent the most important changes outside the camera department:

Google Tensor G6 and Gemini Intelligence
Google’s new Tensor G6 processor powers faster app launches, smoother browsing and more efficient on-device AI. Gemini Intelligence can provide proactive assistance across supported apps, with Gemini Nano handling more tasks directly on the phone to improve speed, privacy and personalization.

A Slimmer, More Durable Design
The camera bar is 40 percent thinner than those on earlier standard Pixel models, giving the Pixel 11 a cleaner profile and reducing movement on flat surfaces. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects the front and back, and the 6.3-inch Actua display reaches 3,000 nits of peak brightness.

Faster Pixelsnap Charging
Built-in Pixelsnap magnets support Qi2.2-certified wireless charging at up to 25 watts. The 4,985 mAh battery is rated for more than 30 hours, and wired charging can restore up to 55 percent in approximately 30 minutes with a compatible charger.

Four Cameras, More Ways to Capture

Photography remains central to the Pixel experience, and the Pixel 11 receives a larger main sensor alongside dedicated ultrawide and telephoto lenses. Google complements the hardware with 30x Super Zoom, Magic Capture, Camera Looks, Camera Coach and familiar computational tools including Night Sight, Add Me and Auto Best Take.

48 MP Wide Camera
The upgraded main camera uses a larger 1/1.56-inch sensor with 56 percent greater light sensitivity than the Pixel 10. Its f/1.7 aperture, optical stabilization and Macro Focus support make it the primary choice for everyday scenes, close-ups and low-light photography.

13 MP Ultrawide Camera
A 120-degree field of view allows the ultrawide camera to capture expansive landscapes, architecture and large groups. It provides the broadest perspective in the system and complements the main lens when fitting more of a scene into the frame is the priority.

10.8 MP Telephoto Camera
The stabilized telephoto camera provides true 5x optical zoom, optical-quality results at 10x and digitally enhanced Super Zoom up to 30x. It gives the standard Pixel a useful option for concerts, wildlife, travel details and distant subjects.

10.5 MP Front Camera
The ultrawide selfie camera includes autofocus and a 95-degree field of view, helping keep individuals and groups sharp. It can record 4K video at up to 60 frames per second, making it suitable for video calls, social content and handheld recording.

Google’s Flagship Formula

The Pixel 11 starts at $899 with 256 GB of storage, 12 GB of RAM and Android 17. A 512 GB version adds Zoned UFS storage for faster performance. Google promises seven years of operating system, security and Pixel Drop updates, strengthening its value as a long-term device.

Other notable talking points include IP68 water and dust resistance, the new Titan M3 security chip, satellite emergency features and a choice of Frost, Pistachio, Hibiscus or Obsidian finishes. The 60–120 Hz Actua display lacks the wider refresh-rate range of the Pro models, and the 197-gram body feels substantial for a 6.3-inch phone. Overall, the Pixel 11 presents a polished combination of cameras, AI tools, security and long-term software support.
