Google Pixel 11 Pro hands-on review - GSMArena.com
The Google Pixel 11 Pro features a new Tensor G6 chipset and camera upgrades, but faces criticism for a $100 price hike and reduced memory. Early user reports indicate potential performance issues and lag, alongside the removal of the temperature sensor.
Why it matters
As a flagship device, the Pixel 11 Pro's reception reflects Google's ability to balance hardware innovation with consumer expectations in a competitive smartphone market.
The Pixel 11 Pro is Google's flagship smartphone for 2026. This year has been rough for tech, and we have seen one underwhelming launch after another throughout. Google itself essentially launched the same phone for a second time earlier this year with the Pixel 10a. So what does the company have in store for us with its flagship models?
Surprisingly, it's not all doom and gloom this year. The Pixel 11 series, specifically the Pro models, do include some meaningful improvements. There is a new chipset in the form of the Tensor G6, and we will get into how it performs. The main and telephoto cameras have been upgraded and also work alongside the new chipset to bring out new and improved functionality. The display and build quality have also seen some improvements, and there is faster wireless charging on offer. Finally, you also get some new colors.
