Google Pixel 11 Benchmarks Reveal Performance Gains, But Can't Match Rivals

The Google Pixel 11 series is set to launch on August 20, but benchmarks for the phones have already surfaced online. According to Geekbench 7 results, the base model Pixel 11 is around 16% faster in single-core and 14.6% faster in multi-core tests compared to last year's Pixel 10.

The new Pixel 11 series features Google's Tensor G6 chip, a direct upgrade to last year's G5. The Samsung Galaxy S26 and iPhone 17 outperform the base Pixel 11 in single-core and multi-core tests, with the Exynos 2600 variant of the S26 scoring 2,834 in single-core and 11,081 in multi-core.

The standard Google Pixel 11 is available from $899, which is a $100 increase from last year's series due to the removal of the 128GB variant. The extra cost may be off-putting for those seeking the cheapest option, despite the performance gains.
