Google Pixel 11

In the US the Google Pixel 11 starts at $899 for the 12GB + 256GB model and $1,019 for 12GB + 512GB. In Europe it is €999 (256GB) and €1,129 (512GB). The dollar prices are the US launch prices and the euro prices are the German prices reported by Dealabs at launch, checked 5 Nov 2026. Retailers and carriers sometimes sell it for less, and Google runs trade-in offers.

Google announced the Pixel 11 on 12 August 2026 and released it on 20 August 2026 with Android 17. Compared with the Pixel 10 it adds the Tensor G6 chip (Google claims 20% better power efficiency), 256GB of base storage (the Pixel 10 started at 128GB), faster 25W Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging (15W on the Pixel 10) and up to 30x Super Zoom (20x before). The screen, 12 GB of RAM, 30W wired charging and the 48MP + 10.8MP 5x telephoto + 13MP camera set are almost unchanged, so a Pixel 10 owner has little reason to upgrade. It suits people coming from a Pixel 9 or older.

Yes, for most games. The Tensor G6 chip scored about 1.84 million in AnTuTu v11 and 3,451 in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, with 12 GB of RAM and a 120Hz screen. That is below the Pixel 11 Pro (about 1.95 million) and the Galaxy S26 FE (about 2.47 million), so it is not the fastest phone for long, heavy gaming sessions.

Google's US store lists the Pixel 11 as eSIM-only, and the phone can hold several eSIMs and run two numbers at once. Other countries may get a Nano-SIM + eSIM version, so confirm the exact model before you pay. If you import a phone, check the SIM type first, because an eSIM-only unit cannot take a normal SIM card.

Google promises 7 years of Android OS, security and Pixel Drop updates, so the Pixel 11 stays supported until about 2033. Google also promises 7 years of spare parts, including batteries, screens and back covers, for the Pixel 11 series. Pixel batteries are rated for 1,000 charge cycles before they fall to 80% of their original capacity, which most people reach after about three years. Official parts depend on your country, so check Google's repair options where you live.

Both phones have a 6.3-inch screen, the Tensor G6 chip, IP68 and 7 years of updates. The Pixel 11 has a 1080 x 2424 OLED (3000 nits peak), 48MP + 10.8MP 5x telephoto + 13MP ultrawide cameras, a 10.5MP selfie camera, 12 GB of RAM and a 4985 mAh battery. The Pixel 11 Pro adds a sharper 1280 x 2856 LTPO screen (3600 nits peak), 50MP + 48MP + 48MP cameras, a 42MP selfie camera and up to 16 GB of RAM. Choose the Pixel 11 to spend less and still get a 5x zoom. Choose the Pro for the better sensors and screen.

Yes, it has 5x optical zoom. The rear camera is a 48MP main with OIS, a 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom and OIS, and a 13MP ultrawide, with Super Zoom up to 30x. Magic Capture records a video and edited photos with one tap, and Camera Looks adds film-style presets. Video goes up to 4K at 60 fps (no 8K) and the 10.5MP selfie camera also records 4K. The sensors are smaller than the Pixel 11 Pro's, so expect weaker low-light shots than on the Pro.

It has a 4985 mAh battery. Google claims 30+ hours of battery life, and GSMArena measured an active use score of 15 hours 40 minutes. Wired charging reaches about 55% in 30 minutes at up to 30W, and wireless charging is 25W with Qi2.2 magnetic alignment. There is no charger in the box, only a 1 m USB-C to USB-C cable. Google sells its own 45W charger separately, but this phone itself tops out at 30W wired.
