Google Pixel 11: Incremental Update or Enough to Compete?

The Google Pixel 11 is here, and it's more of an incremental update than a revolutionary new device. Gone are the days of bold changes like last year's zoom camera upgrade, which downgraded the main camera. This time around, Google is sticking to what works.

One of the main updates is the new 3nm Tensor G6 chipset, but it's not the only change. The Pixel 11 also packs a larger 1/1.56-inch main sensor in its camera, which brings it closer to the Pixel 9's 1/1.31-inch main unit.

The design of the phone remains largely unchanged, with a 6.3-inch screen and anodized aluminum body that's grippier than last year's model. The phone is available in four colors: Frost, Pistachio, Hibiscus, and Obsidian. The price starts at $899/£879/€999 for the base 256GB model, going up to $1,019/€1,129 for the 512GB model.

The Pixel 11 still has some unique features, like Magic Capture, which lets you capture both stills and video while auto-selecting keepers. The phone is available in a range of colors, but it's not clear if that will be enough to stand out in a crowded market.
