How Google’s new Pixel 11 phones compare to last year’s models
Google has launched four Pixel 11 phones, with the standard Pixel 11 and Pro models receiving faster hardware, expanded AI tools and camera upgrades over last year’s Pixel 10 range. The changes matter chiefly for buyers considering an upgrade: prices have risen, but Google is pairing that increase with more base storage and features aimed at photography, translation and on-device assistance.
The Pixel 11 starts at $899, $100 more than its predecessor, with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM; the Pixel 11 Pro begins at $1,099, while the 6.8-inch Pro XL starts at $1,299. All use Google’s Tensor G6 chip, which the company says improves performance by up to 25 percent, and add enhanced Gemini, Live Translate and camera-based Circle to Search; the standard model also gains up to 30x photo zoom, while Pro models receive updated main and telephoto camera sensors.
- Pixel 11 phones cost more but include doubled base storage.
