Pixel 11: A Slight Boost, Not a Leap

Google’s latest iteration is more about polish than breakthroughs—though that’s not entirely bad.

The hot pink Hibiscus color of the new Google Pixel 11 is nothing if not dazzling. But under this striking exterior lies a smartphone that, despite its name, isn’t quite hitting all-caps on the upgrades.


What it does bring to the table are minor enhancements: a slightly better chipset and camera, faster wireless charging, and an updated batch of AI features. The base model storage has increased from 128GB to 256GB, but this comes at a price increase; the starting price for the Pixel 11 is $100 more than its predecessor.


For those who are already in Google’s fold and comfortable with Gemini AI, it may just be enough to tip the scales. However, if you’re looking for significant improvements over your current device, this might not justify a new purchase. The Pixel 11 shares more similarities with the Pro Fold series than its fellow Pixel models, which have an edge with their more powerful camera systems and distinctive glowing HiLight LEDs.


Overall, refinement has been the name of the game in smartphones for several years now, and Google’s latest offering doesn’t deviate from that pattern. The instantly recognisable design has seen some minor tweaks—most notably, a thinner pill-shaped camera bump that allows it to lie flat on a desk—and comes in fun new colors. But if you’re just in the market for a nudge-upgrade, the Pixel 11 may be worth considering.
