Google unveiled the Pixel 11 at its Made by Google event this week. The new phone keeps a familiar shape but adds real upgrades under the hood. Fresh color choices and a new processor headline the launch.
The Pixel 11 runs on Google’s Tensor G6 chip. It also arrives with a price bump over last year’s model. Google says the new chip speeds up web browsing by 25 percent. App loading improves by 15 percent. Both figures compare against the Pixel 10.
Battery life gets a boost as well. Google claims the device lasts over 30 hours on a single charge. Wireless charging is now 25 percent faster than the Pixel 10. That is welcome news for people always on the move.
The camera received a meaningful redesign. Its bump is over 40 percent thinner than before. Google upgraded the camera hardware too. Early hands-on reports call the software more helpful and less AI slop.
New colors include lilac frost, hibiscus pink, pistachio green, and obsidian black. The hibiscus pink is already a favorite online. It is a bold option for a flagship phone.
The event covered more than handsets. Google announced new health features for the Pixel Watch 5. The Pixel Buds got updates too. The full lineup shows Google tightening its hardware ecosystem.
The Verge was on the ground and shared hands-on photos of every device. Their roundup lists all seven of the biggest announcements from the launch.
