The Google Pixel 11 series has been released, and it's a significant upgrade from its predecessor. The new models include the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The series offers a range of features, including a new Tensor G6 chipset, improved cameras, and faster charging. However, the memory configuration has changed, and the cheapest 12/128GB version is no longer available. This has led to some confusion in comparing prices between the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 series. The vanilla Pixel 11 is better off in the US, but the disappearance of the cheapest 12/128GB version is felt in other regions. The Pixel 11 Pro has an even bigger 50MP 1/1.3” sensor in the main along with a higher resolution 48MP telephoto (5x/106mm) and 48MP ultra-wide (123°) vs. 10.8MP tele and 13MP UW on the Pixel 11. The selfie camera is better too, 42MP vs. 10.5MP (both with ultra-wide autofocus lenses). The Pixel 11 Pro XL is the same as the 11 Pro, except with a larger 6.8” display and a 5,115mAh battery (vs. 4,850mAh on the small Pro). The Pixel 11 Pro Fold has a larger 6.5” cover display but the same size 8.0” inner display. It also benefits from a main camera upgrade – the 48MP sensor is now 1/1.56” like on the vanilla model, replacing the 1/2.0” sensor of the 2025 Fold, which was embarrassing on such an expensive device. The Pixel 11 series is available for pre-order and will be available from August 20. The prices vary depending on the region and the model. The vanilla Pixel 11 is available for $899 for 256GB 12GB RAM, $1,019 for 512GB 12GB RAM, $1,099 for 256GB 12GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro, $1,219 for 512GB 16GB RAM, $1,299 for 256GB 12GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and $1,898.99 for 256GB 16GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The prices are higher in the UK and EU, with the vanilla Pixel 11 available for £879 for 256GB 12GB RAM, £999 for 512GB 12GB RAM, £1,079 for 256GB 12GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro, £1,199 for 512GB 16GB RAM, £1,279 for 256GB 12GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and £1,799 for 256GB 16GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The prices are even higher in Canada, with the vanilla Pixel 11 available for $1,100 for 256GB 12GB RAM, $1,300 for 256GB 12GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro, $1,480 for 256GB 12GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and $1,970 for 256GB 16GB RAM on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The Pixel 11 series is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, and it's a strong contender for anyone looking for a new smartphone. However, the prices are high, and the memory configuration changes may be a concern for some users. The series offers a range of features, including a new Tensor G6 chipset, improved cameras, and faster charging, making it a strong contender for anyone looking for a new smartphone.
