Google Pixel 11 Challenges Flagship Conventions

The Google Pixel 11 is an interesting phone that challenges the conventional thinking around flagship models. Instead of focusing on the top-of-the-line Pixel 11 Pro or the budget-friendly Pixel 10a, Google has created a middle-ground option with the standard Pixel 11.

One might expect the Pixel 11 to be less desirable due to its lower specifications compared to the Pro model. However, with rising prices, some users may find it more appealing to opt for the standard model in 2026, knowing they'll get similar power at a potentially lower cost.

The Pixel 11 starts at £879 (256GB) in the UK and $899 in the US, which is a significant increase from the starting price of the Pixel 10. However, upon closer inspection, it's clear that prices have actually remained steady when adjusting for storage capacity.
