What Google says is new
- Tensor G6, which Google calls its fastest, most powerful chip, running the newest Gemini Nano.
- Pixel 11 camera: a new, larger 48MP main sensor that Google says has 56% more light sensitivity.
- Pro telephoto: the 5x lens now supports 30x Super Zoom with Tensor G6 processing.
- Design: a thinner camera bar and more scratch-resistant glass.
- Faster charging across the line, plus Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging.
Which Pixel 11 to look at
The base Pixel 11 gets the biggest camera change this year. The Pro and Pro XL are the same phone in two sizes. The Pro Fold is for people who want a tablet-sized inner screen. Compare sizes in our Pixel 11 Pro vs Pro XL guide.
What to wait for
Google's claims about light sensitivity and zoom need independent camera tests, and Tensor chips have historically been judged on heat and battery life. Reviews from established outlets will settle that.

How we researched this
This is a research-based review, not a hands-on test. We did not have these phones in hand. We compared the official specification pages from Apple, Google and Samsung with launch coverage and published reviews from established outlets, and we list every source below. Where sources disagree we say so. Battery and camera claims are the makers' own figures unless we name an independent reviewer. Prices are US launch prices from the official pages and can differ at carriers and retailers.
