Google Pixel 11 Pro XL: Solid Software Upgrades, But Price May Be Steep
The Google Pixel 11 Pro XL has arrived, and while it may not bring significant hardware upgrades, its software features are impressive. The phone's design is nearly identical to last year's model, with a new all-glass camera bump and fresh color options.
Inside, the phone packs Google's Tensor G6 processor, along with storage options starting at 256GB and increasing to 512GB and 1TB. However, the base model now comes with 12GB of RAM, down from 16GB last year.
The Pixel 11 Pro XL's cameras are a highlight, particularly the new Magic Capture mode that simplifies video recording and photo-taking. The phone also boasts an impressive display, with a 6.8-inch Super Actua panel featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 3,600 nits.
While some may find the price increase of $100 / £80 / AU$150 for the entry-level model steep, the phone's value score is still respectable at 3/5. Overall, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is a solid choice for those looking to upgrade from last year's model or switch from an iPhone or Samsung device.
