Better Batteries: Top Smartphones That Outlast Google's Pixel 11 Pro
Google unveiled its Pixel 11 Pro phone alongside other models in the series. The device has some improved features but also made compromises, including reducing the battery capacity from 4,870 mAh to 4,850 mAh and decreasing the base model's RAM from 16 GB to 12 GB.
Despite these cuts, tests show that the Pixel 11 Pro still offers good battery life. GSMArena estimated it could last for 15 hours and 38 minutes in mixed usage, while PhoneArena's test suggested it lasted 5 hours and 44 minutes with a mix of browsing, streaming video, and gaming.
If you prioritize battery life when buying a new phone, there are options that can do better. The Pixel 11 Pro XL has a larger 5,115 mAh battery and lasted an hour and a few minutes longer than its regular sibling in GSMArena's test.
